Right now, I think it could be read either way, and it would be perfectly true.

Maybe it would also help if I got a proper opera gown.

(Notice how I cleverly circled back to that.)
December 10, 2025 at 10:54 PM
I didn't know that.
December 10, 2025 at 10:53 PM
Oh, that helps.
December 10, 2025 at 10:52 PM
Heh! 😜

Then how did you enjoy it or understand the storyline?

No, they never truly go away.

Really? I just thought I was uncultured and had limited language.
December 10, 2025 at 9:56 PM
Well, I'm not so old that I don't remember those days. Completely understandable.

I cheated and studied ahead of time. Even took the manuscript with me to a couple.

Okay, now I can agree with this menu!

I admit I've only seen a couple English and German operas because those the two languages I speak. I know I'm missing a lot.

I am not finding this reassuring.

During my masters I read Zauberberg (Magic Mountain) in German. I swear to God if I had to hear one more double entendre about someone having a low-grade fever or il crayón I was going to scream. (May I borrow your crayon? Oh yes you may, but be sure to take care of it. Oh I'll sharpen it well! 😉)

No. This sounds awful.

Toto? Why do I have this uncomfortable feeling we're not really talking about carpeting.

Haven't tried it, but I'm going to take a pre-emptive hard pass on the maggots. 😬

Oh, that sounds yummy! Oddly, we have access to feta, goat, and many other exotic types, but I could find halloumi nowhere in Reno, hence the massive shipment from Wisconsin. I think there's a huge market if it was released at the beginning of the summer barbecue season.
December 10, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Let me know how you like it. It seems right up my alley.
December 10, 2025 at 9:34 PM
I only have halloumi because I had never heard of it until Tammi mentioned it, and to order it from Wisconsin it was a $50 minimum. I have a lot of halloumi cheese to get through.

My people!

That's true. He is a lot slicker, and every bit as corrupt and authoritarian.
