The illness has spread out now -- which is to say, I still feel like shit, just less focused shit. Which isn't such a bad thing.

My house is full of people, which would be less daunting if I didn't feel this way.

Amanda leaves today.

And I'm debating if I really want to get into a debate about "real" opera with someone on The Well. Since I'm hardly anything resembling knowledgeable about the art form, it's probably a bad idea, but my point is that I saw something, that no, of course was not traditional opera, but brought me pleasure, probably in a very different way than traditional opera would -- it doesn't make it less _real_ -- it's just a different bloody animal. And I like lots of animals. (There's also the minor factoid that I don't think the person provoking the discussion has even seen the Boheme on Broadway -- so that's like ... *argh*! Never mind.)

Righto, not bored enough to have this discussion.

Excuse me while I go cough, a lot.
rm: (hat)
Well, I didn't resist entering the fray on that Boheme thing, whatever. It was a bit incoherent, but addressed the points (mainly that for whatever issues one might have with an opera going in this direction, it's not the bloody Reader's Digest version as was stated).

Oh, I had a great observation about 8 Mile earlier in the week that I keep forgetting to post -- It's Like Flashdance for Boys!

After having a lovely saucisson for lunch, Megan also got me telling Amanda this funny story from my past which led to her (Megan's) suggestion and my realization that I need to name my production company rachiebots! inc. Of course, it would help if I a) had a production company and b) had something to produce first, but damn it's a great idea that I'm a bit unhealthily smitten with.

Going away to cough some more now.

*cough* *cough* *cough*.
