Appropriately on the first day of post-op pain with a vessel attached to my body, I bought an Opera American virtual ticket to watch Opera Praktikos's Spoon Theory Song Cycle.

A League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania group, a nonpartisan voter's rights group, resorting to generative AI slop art theft just to make a point.
Partial screenshotting so not to circulate the full image. But you can see the reactions just excusing it.

I’m at home with my Jackson Pratt vessel attached to my body. But anyway, have a post-op pic of me chewing on a cracker that happened less than 24 hours ago. Sadly on the Lyft home, I felt nausea and then puked (luckily we reached the destination right on time and I did so outdoors).

For educative purposes, I screenshot this Nextdoor Texas thread, a vile thread hoping that the absence (kidnapped/traumatized by force) of undocumented children in schools means Texans get "to pay less taxes" for kids accessing education.

Honest to God, this is a screenshot of my Notes app during CHESS intermission that I quickly typed up to show to my seatmate before act 2.

I grew up with the PBS-aired CHESS concert. I remember I had to catch that concert on TV cause I saw Adam Pascal and Idina Menzel in an ad and I was undergoing a RENT phase. And then I was introduced to some guy named Josh Groban. #musical

Second time I’ve seen Christian Borle as a dangerous television titan, the first time being the TAMMY FAYE musical as televangelist Jim Bakker. He’s always backdropped with television screens.

Maybe it be nice if we had more live-action films being retold/remade through animation. ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS, a stop-motion 40-min short retelling of ELF, adopting the stage musical songs, is one of those rare examples.

There's not quite an outlet I could review for, but I was present at this #HazbinHotelLiveonBroadway concert. I had fun, and the ushers were a champ getting people to closer seats. It was messy, especially when the mezzanine audience couldn't get to see a crucial interview with Vivienne Medrano.

BTW, it feels like an interesting, psychological role continuity for Melody Butiu. Last I saw her, she was in HERE LIES LOVE. I’ll explain later.

I watched the documentary QUEEN OF VERSAILLES on Prime Video in prep for its adaptation, Stephen Schwartz's and Lindsey Ferrentino's new Broadway musical, which I'm going to see in less than 2 hours.
