Opera & Elizabethan Theatre

[url=http://www.jerryspringertheopera.com/]Jerry Springer – the Opera was abolutely the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Real opera, make no mistake about that. I mean, [b]real[/b] opera, a chorus, a gods, a journey to the underworld, and a certain word that should get beeped out. In fact, that’s most of the lyrics in at least one song. Opera & Elizabethan Theatre

Three Naked Women

Three Naked Women (& and some Shakespeare) Friday dawned, apparently, cool and crisp. I’d taken the airline earplugs and for a change, I’d had one good night’s sleep, bereft of any interruptions. Didn’t even hear the last of the Jubilee Line’s trains pass under the flat. So I dressed in jeans, boots and nice shirt, Three Naked Women

Duck fajitas

Duck fajitas I’m sure I’ll offend someone with this, but you know, it sure was good. I’ve passed by the “Dragon Inn” several times. Prominent location in London’s China Town. 12 Gerrard Street London W1D 5PR There’s the “new fook moon” place, an all-new feng shui cafe, but Dragon Inn is a venerable, traditional place.

Weird Wednesday

Or an extremely short night, Birthday of Dr. Samuel Johnson

Feast Eve of St. Lambert

St. Lambert was a 7th Century Flemish patron of surgeons. Which has exactly what to do with what? Nothing.

A little plaque, outside the changing station/room in the men’s restroom: “Do not leave children unattended.” Why Feast Eve of St. Lambert

Austin, final moments

There always has to be one last minute tale before I leave: It’s a late afternoon flight, so I had a little extra time to kill before I changed into long pants and boots for the airport and trip outbound. I headed downtown, then straight up Congress Avenue, shirt in hand, on the phone with Austin, final moments

Screw you

Screw you “I got on my cowboy boots, jeans And Hawaiian shirt, mirrored sunglasses And a mobile phone I guess I look like some Port Aransas Dope dealer that’s out on bail Just trying to get home” (opening [url=http://www.raywylie.com/lyrics.htm#screw_you]lyrics to Ray Wylie’s final cut, [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008CLLC/fishinguideto-20]latest album) I took one look out the trailer’s window Friday Screw you
