And listen for the old melody as it comes to me

1. Today, lesser_celery and I made reservations for lunch at The Salty Pig and ate a lot of exactly what the name implies. He had a plate of charcuterie, I had a sandwich with mortadella and soppressata and a cheese whose name I should have written down. It was delightful, even if I got badly rained on negotiating public transportation home afterward. We found it through a review in the Globe. Later tonight, we'll pick up Season Two of Millennium.

2. I know the Marvell Rep does not really exist to gratify my theatrical desires, but since their upcoming season includes The Threepenny Opera (1928), Arthur Schnitzler's The Bernhardi Affair (1912), Sholem Asch's God of Vengeance (1907), and Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening (1891), I am having a hard time arguing this point to myself. Man, why do I not live in New York?

3. In all other respects that do not involve webcomics, unfortunately, this week is not working out so well.

[edited] time_shark signal-boosts A Mayse-Bikhl! Which you already know about if you read this journal, but you should still listen to him anyway.

Your music reminds me--and I would totally have forgotten otherwise, and yet I promised!--that my father asked me to ask you if you had ever translated any Lucretius. It came up by weird free association in our morning's conversation, and he remembered talking with you about translation, and asked me to ask. I don't suppose he's **desperate** for the answer--I guess it means, though, that talking with you left an impression :-)

Does A Mayse Bikhl ship from the UK?

God of Vengeance AND Spring Awakening?! Now I want to see both of those. Through not having enough money, I've already missed the chance to see this:

It just ain't fair.

I wished for a good book at the gym the other day and one turned up. Obviously I have powers. I Wish Each Of Us Had A Bushel Basket Full Of $100 Bills. *dusts hands*

Gosh. I love the People's Republic of Vermont and I love not leaving home, but...Threepenny Opera. I am torn. I am seriously torn.

I must now visit The Salty Pig.

I'm delighted for 1. Don't know how to answer the question at the end of 2, but I hope you can make at least some of them. I like NYC as well, albeit for different reasons.

I'm very sorry to hear 3. I hope it improves, at least a little bit.

Man, why do I not live in New York?

Why does anyone not live in New York? I've often wondered that myself. Of course, now I'm not living in New York myself, for the first time in my life, and it's weird....

How would you best like your signal to be boosted, by the way? I'm of no account Monday through Thursday, but tomorrow is Friday. So facebook or LJ or tweeter?

Tweet.

There is a new episode of Warhorses of Letters and I can't liiiiisten to it, oh my HORSEY GOD.

Oh, and I've just ordered A Mayse-Bikhl.
