yamamanamaI know I already spent time talking about the plot to Don Giovanni. Anyway, Zerlina and Masetto were wearing modern clothes while everyone else was in Mozart-era clothes. He kills Il Commendatore in a duel at a masquerade, so I guess it makes sense that they're dressed like that while Don Giovanni is out Archerizing a wedding, and by that, I mean "trying to sleep with Zerlina." There may have been a portrait of Jackie Kennedy above one of the doorways.
The problem with Don Giovanni is that after the finale, everything else seems underwhelming.
I spent the time before the opera in Boston Common listening to some people cover early 60s songs (I don't know who they are and I could find nothing even indicating that there were musicians, but I do know they aren't Jenny D and the Delinquents), like My Girl (1964, The Temptations) and Chapel of Love (1964, The Dixie Cups) and playing with dogs, including a Boston terrier, two pugs named Buddha and Bella, a puggle named Vinnie and his companion, and a dog that I'm pretty sure is not actually a chihuahua. I've seen chihuahuas and I'm pretty sure they don't come in "largest type of small dog possible" size.
I did find a video of Vinnie the puggle on Twitter.
I met a woman with an eye necklace, some sort of accent that I'm going to assume is Greek or possibly Cypriot even though when I assume, I make you ass and BARRY DOESN'T LIKE, and a chow-chow named Zeus. He was the size of a pug and very very fluffy and he'll be about 20 kg when he's full grown. The woman with the eye necklace says "surprisingly, he doesn't shed that much."
The terrier was bouncing around Zeus and Zeus thought we were AT-ATs or something. Zeus had a wet head and I hope it wasn't pee.
Later, I saw a golden retriever wearing a t-shirt.
I'm not sure where the woman with the heart pendant is from but she had an accent. Hipster Indiana Jones got on the Ashmont train. He didn't have the hat or a whip, but he had a thick beard and a leather jacket and khaki pants and I'm pretty sure he hates Nazis and maybe he's even afraid of snakes. There was a guy with these really cool tattoos depicting a white wolf and other things. There was a guy with melon-colored hair in a really cool style.
The moon was pink and looked like it was made of clouds. When it solidified, clouds made it look like it was cleft in two. It turned the color of apricots as it rose.
Someone who I think is from Turkey asked me to draw his friend. I drew a woman reading a Vietnamese newspaper. Speaking of Turks and Greeks, I wonder how things are going in Cyprus.
Hmmmm. Not great.
burning question: So hey, so yeah, did you say light brown with darker whateveral bands?
