J: oh wait
J: tomorrow is the Voigt Tosca
A: right
J: I think I just made Diet Sprite®
J: I had some seltzer
J: and I squeezed in a lemon wedge
J: and a packet of Sweet & Low™
J: and it tastes like delicious Sprite®
A: huh
A: maybe that is their secret
J: maybe
J: mine is a little better
J: I forgot about DVoigTosca tomorrow--are you still down?
A: yep

J: good
J: I feel like I may drink a whole bottle of wine before the night is over
J: ugh--ABC news is up at David Blaine
A: did they say when he's going to be out of there?
J: seriously though, I hope D. Blaine has some brain damage or something so we never have to watch him and his retard fans again. Though it will give us something to do during the Tosca intermission
A: tomorrow is the potential drowning?
J: yes
A: what are they going to do with all that nasty water afterwards? Let it drain into the fountain??

J: ew

I think Mignon Dunn is the Klytamnestra. It's a fun video--everybody's a bit over the hill and a lot over the top.

"a bit over the hill and a lot over the top". Someday, that is going to be the secondary title of my autobiographical cabaret act.

Yes, it's Dunn - boy, I thought I'd posted that yesterday. I guess I didn't. "A bit over the hill and a lot over the top" is funny, but my recollection, admittedly about seven or eight years old, is that only Nilsson is really showing her age and that's mostly in how out-of-tune she is. Rysanek and Dunn are both stupendous.
