At last night's Madama Butterfly premiere, my slippers turned up after all.
Dreamed of having a fingernail that was trimmed on one side but not the other.
Yesterday we had Indian food and today we finished it. (There wasn't quite enough.)
Dress-rehearsed Die Fledermaus.
I can't wait till the opera's over! (Maybe I should have skipped this year.) I've always liked rehearsing more than performing, of course.
Dreamed of the song "Three Coins in the Fountain."
Bought a new glasses case at Hakim Optical.
Dinner was scallops.
Dress-rehearsed Madama Butterfly. I left my slippers in the auditorium afterward! Hope they turn up tomorrow: I'm wearing them in the show as part of my costume. We had to put on our own eye makeup.
I also signed up for a couple of Giuseppe's master class sessions. (Maybe I am serious about my singing after all.)
Am I coming down with a cold?
Last night I went to a Games Meetup at the Fox & Fiddle. (I played the Amazeing Labyrinth and Scrabble.) On the way back I lost my glasses case!
Dreamed of Jack Palance saying "Believe it--or not!" on the actual 1980s TV show.
Dinner was pork steak.
I also dreamed of pulling out a few of my teeth, which were the worse for wear (far more so than in real life).
At choir practice we got into the second act of Rigoletto. (Beatrice has called for a meeting to discuss Coro Verdi's future.)
"You are doing without him!"
--The Fighter
Baked multigrain bread.
Donald came over for dinner, which was churrasco chicken.
Saw David O. Russell's The Fighter at the Revue. I was afraid it would be like Black Swan [which I couldn't sit through], but it was quite good.
Left some Toronto City Opera flyers around the neighbourhood libraries.
Dinner was the rest of the stew.
Went to Mary's games night. I played a new game called Gold Digger (won the first game by one point!) and Settlers of Catan. Thirty people came despite the cold weather.
"No, sir, I does it all the time!"
--The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings
Dreamed of a non-existent story that young Mickey Rooney was on a Little League baseball team that got to scrimmage with a major league team, but the coach wouldn't include Rooney, and the Little Leaguers went on to appear in a movie!
Went to see my shrink Dr. Hassan.
Dinner was stew.
Saw the DVD of John Badham's The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings. It's an engaging comedy about a black baseball team in the age of segregation.
Dreamed of a young South African dissident who was exiled to the far east of the country and got drawn into a cult of sexual training.
Went shopping.
Saw an early Ken Burns documentary about the making of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Dinner was rice and chicken and several leftovers.
Rehearsed Die Fledermaus. Women in bustle dresses reduce your room for maneuver! When the curtain comes down on the second act, I'll be the one on stage right making sure it goes smoothly there.
