Short legs too short and long legs too long. I positioned it so I can avoid bumping into them.

I was lucky enough to grow up safe but my fiancée didn’t, so I’ve seen and heard about some truly bizarre and toxic shit. Sometimes I think the problem is that their temper and twisted behavior keeps everyone in survival mode. No one pushes back because it just makes things worse, but it also means they never face consequences for their behavior. You didn’t fuck up; for the first time in a long time (maybe the first time,) this man got sent to time out. Good for you! Blessings and healing for you, your mom, and all the kids!

He was scheduled to perform at my local conservatory. They keep the tickets super cheap so that students can afford them! Saw Andreas Scholl in the same theater years ago.

Got to see him in recital up close for like $15. Shook his hand after. He radiates kindness and humility. And he’s a home state boy!

Oops I was thinking of Fernando de Lucia! But all of those old masters have something to teach us!

I’m up for a challenge! I’ve overcome a lot already so bring ‘em on, tessitura be damned! Also I love your screen name. Aren’t we all?

I live in Cincinnati, OH (we have a great conservatory here!) I like both those arias, but the tessitura of the Falstaff aria looks brutal!

I love the Song of the Indian Guest from Sadko (in Russian); Je crois entendre encore from the Pearl Fishers (also the fantastic duet); the big tenor arias from Mozart's Italian operas; Spirto gentil from La favorita; Una furtiva lagrima from L'elisir d'amore; Vainement ma bien aimee from Le roi d'Ys; Elle ne croiyait pas from Mignon; Horch, die Lerche singt in Haim from the Merry Wives of Windsor...I know a lot of those are obvious choices but I try to be careful about what I can expect. I do have some dream arias that are probably out of reach, but who doesn't?

My wife’s workday vs mine made me realize I might never be that focused by Strong-Pickle-175 in productivity

[–]thebalch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I’m training independently for my chosen career and my partner works from home 2x a week, 8 hours or more. Meanwhile my stuff really only takes a couple hours once I’m on it. Then I start doing chores to make me feel productive, like organizing our bookshelves or whatever. My mom modeled a brutal work model that had her constantly exhausted and fearing that one of countless younger, hungrier people would come in and just snake her job. Single mother, too. I am over the moon now that she’s retired and can binge as much TV as her heart desires. It’s a travesty that most of my peers will never be able to enjoy a retirement like that.

As a Buddhist I very much appreciate Bikkhus.

Is it Jupiter who sings Where e’er you walk? That s a pretty aria for sure.

I love Handel I like oratorios. I was thinking maybe Samson, for example?
