I spent ~23 hours at work this weekend, by which I mean I did 8 hours on Saturday, 9 on Sunday, and 6 today. But! My quota for the weekend is made, and I am done. At least until tomorrow.

Cosi Fan Tutte tix go on sale to the general public tomorrow. Why yes, I will be going to the opera this year. I haven't gone in years mainly due to lack of money, and dude that is changing. I'd like to take lolmom to see Carmen in Louisville, but the dates are problematic, viz.:
23 September is the day I'm having my wisdom teeth out, and I definitely won't be up to much of anything.
25 September is doable, but just; we're probably going to have to leave right after lolmom gets back from Religious Ed. (For those of you just joining us, lolmom teaches the confirmation class at her church.) I don't know how long mandatory overtime is going to continue, so I might need to have a day free, or else a lot of wangling.
30 September is doable for me, but it means not bringing lolmom because she has to work, and now I don't feel like I can do that

Randomly: I admit that this is my fault for using such a vague search term, but while punching "samurai" into Amazon will bring up some hugely entertaining stuff, it also brings up a lot of crap. Including some lolarious romance novels, which I may need to purchase for future snarking...

I didn't know you were all about the opera.

It's never really been my thing - although Taine and I have been talking about going to the theatre at one point, if we can find something we'd enjoy. I think most Danish plays are crap, really, and I have trouble taking them seriously.

I've always liked opera, since I was about 13; I first had the opportunity to go to regular performances when I was at university, but after I finished I went through a long dry spell wherein I didn't have the money to go. Well, by God, that's changed so here we are. :D

It's not everybody's thing, and you shouldn't feel bad if it isn't yours. Theatre (of the regular variety) has really declined from the art form it was at one point. :\
