yamamanamaSomeone had a tattoo depicting the two hares from the story Guess How Much I Love You, which she used to read to her son, among other things.
The Latin writing in Anna's bathroom is gone but Steve Lurkel is still there. Apparently, Big Boss has a hexagram and crossed tridents as his sigil. Someone else wrote "smile, I love you." Thanks, random stranger. I feel so appreciated. Like the time someone's Mr. Rogers t-shirt reminded me that I am very special. Horray for Zoidberg!
I met a woman named Alison who is a dancer and who's brother is an artist, and she told me to never stop sketching and I told her to never stop dancing.
I listened to a lot of Slowdive on the way there and on the way back as a result.
They switched a whole bunch of things around. Instead of The Firebird and Gaîté Parisienne, we got a whole new program for A Night At The Ballet (the T is silent, unless you're German, apparently. I learned that from the episode of the Simpsons where Homer thinks ballet is a bear in a little car.) Coppélia and Sylvia? Okay, sounds interesting. No idea what happened to The Firebird, alas.
Other people were aware of the change so it's not a spacetime anomaly or anything.
If I still thought Emma was interested in me as more than a friend, I feel like I'd see a lot more of Gabriella, and now that Emma and I aren't really talking any more, I can't find hide nor hair of Gabriella.
Albert Schweitzer Portrait isn't from a ballet, but since the Longwood Symphony Orchestra is an orchestra of medical professionals, it makes total sense.
Sylvia (not to be confused with Corporal Sylva from The Hidden World, who is probably Roumanian, or typical warblers), is a ballet in which Aminta falls in love with Sylvia but Sylvia is kidnapped by the evil hunter Orion. This is vaguely inspired by Greek myths but it mixes it all up: Sylvia is a Latin name and the only Sylvia in mythology is the mother of Romulus and Remus, and she's not a nymph, there's Diana and Bacchus but Eros.
I swear I've heard the Pizzicati before, probably when a cartoon bird is tiptoeing around a sleeping cat. That's what pizzicato is meant for.
Coppélia is about a man who falls in love with an incredibly lifelike automaton named Coppélia, which is Greek for "young woman." This reminds me of both The Tales of Hoffmann, and in fact, they're related, and Dradin, In Love.
Coppélia is also an enemy in Resonance of Fate that you fight in the arena.
Dance of the Hours is a ballet performed in an opera. It's famous for the dancing hippos and Camp Granada.
Yep, Rodeo is a ballet, and it's about a cowherd who falls in love with a champion roper and wants to win his attention, and Leonard Bernstein was involved with it. The Hoe-Down is based on an old folk tune, which you may not know but you shouldn't be surprised, considering the most famous part of Appalachian Spring was adapted from Simple Gifts.
Tchaikovsky's music is the first time the score to a ballet was taken seriously. Sylvia was written first, though, and Tchaikovsky said that without Sylvia, he would have never written Swan Lake. Coppélia was written even earlier.
Most of excerpts to Swan Lake are familiar except for the csárdás, a Hungarian dance.
it's pronounced like "char-dash"
The Can-Can (properly known as the Infernal Galop) is a dance, yes, but it's from an operetta.
Here's the thing, though. These aren't requests. They're drawings of people who catch my eye or otherwise elicit my attention.
He said "you coming?" to a woman with blue hair. For what it's worth, she looked familiar. She wasn't Désireé but I feel like I've met her before.
I'm like "dude, phrasing." But knowing them, it was probably intentional.
I had a few more thoughts upon waking up from a rather melancholy dream, but I'll share them in a later entry. I'm just going to say that I have no idea what the shit this Project Saber thing is. Why, yes, I did try to get information about Project Saber, and from what I can tell, it's about giving access satellite broadband in remote regions of Europe and one guy's thoughts about anime and anime figures and video games, and a reference to the game Run Saber.
burning question: is Lisa at Camp Granada?
