My lack of updates has been fuelled by the failure of my commenting system and my bussiness with the Berkeley Opera. Here's a review of our opening night performance. The reviewer is a UC Berkeley alum, and as such was over-kind to the UC Alumni Choir (of which I am a member).
Instead of sets and such, Berkeley Opera hired some artist to put together some video that was projected on screens on the stage. The reviewer expressed pretty well how I felt about the results:
"One set of [projected] images was hackneyed. Macbeth becomes a tyrant and so we saw the familiar faces of twentieth century tyrants, including – surprise – Henry Kissinger and Donald Rumsfeld. Does the audience need this kind of prompting? Leave the simplistic parallels and polemics to Bill O’Reilly and radio talk shows."

Well congrats on your performing in any case. Good job just for doing it!
richie why don't you use the blogger commenting system
also richie do you read my new blog. I don't use High C anymore
yep i go to see the animals at the zoo all the time
They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly,
But bear-like I must fight the course. What's he
That was not born of woman? Such a one
Am I to fear, or none.
poor fighting bears
scaphism ~ the practice of covering a victim in honey and strapping him to a hollow tree exposed to stinging insects in order to inflict a lingering death
aaah the good old days
Richie don't forget to come to Le cirque des Damnes in Paris. A better place to find me
scaphism + flagellation = family fun
Ok you crazies... sheesh, i leave my blog unattended for a few days and the comments descend into madness. I'm sick, or I'd come up with new fodder for your commenting pleasure. Oh, and Lanrat, your problems will be solved with judicious editing of your template. I'd say just choose one of the new templates, and turn blogger comments on.
Sorry. I'm a bad influence on Richie.
UPDATE!
