Monday's Missives

I'm Batman


• Coca Cola 1944
• I saw Handel's Messiah December 3 2012 at Weatherford College. It was nice, it was OK not great, not inspired- it was nice. During a recitative one of the girls slung her head around like she was having a seizure, pulled her music up to her breast while hitting a high note and modulated her voice like someone doing a cruel caricature of an operatic performance. It was ridiculous. I thought the roof was going to come down. She came dangerously close to getting a standing ovation. I thought- Did they see the same performance I did? People need to get out more often. 
• The strings were really good though especially the first violin. 
• I love cello music and my ears key in on it every time I hear strings playing.
• Everybody knows about chopped liver- we joke about it, but who has ever even seen it much less eaten eat?
• I never wash the coffee cup I've had for over 20 years. Honestly- I've never even rinsed it. No, not even once.
