opera

I have become an opera fan. Tonight's Austin Lyric Opera's production of La Boheme didn't send me, though. The orchestra seemed to drown the singing. My eyes drifted down.

The rest of my day was lost in the ether. I wish I had written it down. Who I saw, what they said. The weather.

"On several occasions I have actually read parts of my diary aloud to someone. But too much 'publicity' is destructive to a diary, because the diarist begins, unconsciously perhaps, to leave out, to tone down, to pep up, to falsify experience, and the reason for the undertaking becomes buried beneath posings."

Gail Godwin, A Diarist on Diarists

 

JUST TYPING
Random jottings.
We are unimportant.
But constitutionally.
Incapable.
Of believing it.
