No dancing, stayed home to watch Brokeback Mountain.

DD, fill that cup to the brim!

Kahlua, Grand Marnier and Amarula Cream?

---

DD, I think that drink would kill me.

Lord, the local news is horrible tonight. A rape at the W hotel. Hideous crime.

---

That is terrible. Is the W in Times Square?

Addy and Undi - what are you up to tonight?

I had rehearsal tonight. My next concert is January 30th, so we're getting close!

---

No, not you brdlwyr! DD's Bailey's pic! Bad experience from last week. My one major alcohol indulgence wound up in the toilet. Literally.

Eep, the W in Times Square? That's terrible!

DD, I know..

My concert:

A Composer's Journey: Le Villi and Turandot Act III (Berio ending)
Puccini's first and last operas, Le Villi and Turandot (Act III, Luciano Berio ending), will be presented at Carnegie Hall on Monday, January 30, 2006 as part of a gala evening.

Giacomo Puccini is among opera's best-loved composers; yet, few audiences are familiar with his first opera Le Villi. Although it is his earliest opera, Le Villi illustrates Puccini's innate sense of melodic invention. The opera utilizes the same literary sources as the ballet Giselle.

His final work, Turandot, composed in the four years leading to his death in 1924 contains some of Puccini's most beloved melodies - the arias In questa reggia and Nessun dorma. Unfortunately, Puccini did not live to complete the final act of his opera. This performance will present the New York premiere of a new ending orchestrated by Luciano Berio, one of the most influential voices of the modern era.

And how appropriate, Addy, that Turandot is one of the few operas I'm familiar with and truly like. Would love to be there!


38... hopefully will be spent swooshing down the slopes at Whistler. If I ever finish the project I'm supposed to be working on right now.
