I'm trying to remember for the life of me what the opera the LFoD went to see last year but all I can remember about it was the epic set and epic dinosaur. What opera has a dinosaur, you guys? Or maybe it was a generic monster, either way it was the COOLEST THING and maybe it was Verdi... or Puccini... or someone who wrote an opera and had it performed at least once. (My brain says it was The Magic Flute. Son, that was no Magic Flute.)

I am feeling a little rough around the edges this morning. I haven't been as drunk as I was last night for quite a while and I'm definitely feeling it. The plan may be to lie on the deck in the sun for a few hours until I feel human again. But the deck is outside and so far away (read: almost two whole feet to my right) and if I was out there then I couldn't listen to my music anymore. And since I'm listening to Ani Difranco for the last few days as though she's oxygen and vital to my existence, I'd better stay right here.

Holy shit, I just remembered I completed and uploaded a new moodtheme while trashed last night. Go me! I may be able to barely type but apparently editing coding is no problem at all.

... you know what? It totally was The Magic Flute. But possibly in space or something.
We went to see The Magic Flute tonight and it was pretty damn fantastic. The sets alone were freaking amazing and I'm glad we went. And the costuming! Oh my god, you should have seen the clothes the Queen of Night got to wear. I wanted to steal her skirt, because it was black and voluminous and layery. And she dressed her handmaidens at the same level of awesome. That's what you want in a monarchy.

(Almost) most importantly, one of the guys looked so much like Lewi and thus every time he stepped on stage in his long swishy pleather we made dramatic hand gestures and whispered LEWWWIS!, just as Eric Northam did in Jen's dream when he needed his help. Lewi is a hero to vampires.

Magic Flute = awesome and gave me childhood flashbacks of pretending to be Papageno
