A Sunday Off
I'm enjoying a Sunday off after a busy week where I went to New York City with my parents to see the opera La Rondine and wander around the Met and the city. The opera was fascinating as its by Puccini about a courtesan who falls in love while pretending to be someone else and then ends up going back to the man keeping her. Its both light and not so when it ends, we were all expecting someone to die but then they didn't. The music was glorious with three fourths of the main cast having their debut that night and it was the season premiere which added to the enjoyment. The soprano was amazing, a truly soaring voice and the set was full of gorgeous Art Nouveau elements.
That morning we went to the Met museum to look at the Cycladic art and the Grounded in Clay exhibit which has some of the best museum write ups that I've seen. It really was put together as the present and the past of Pueblo pottery being in conversation with each other.
The next day was basically going from bookstore to bookstore which ended up with tired feet and goodies to eat in our rooms. On the train home, I read the new Incryptid novel which was one of those that was so good and hurt.
By the time I got back to work on Friday, I was feeling happily worn out and then was met with so many boxes of books. I unpacked them for four hours and had one moment of annoyance as sort of supervisor actually went and found one book of fiction to do herself. There hasn't been much luck on the new job front.
As I'm on Sunday, I found Oliver and Company, one of the first movies I ever remember seeing in a theater on TV. And its Spring which always makes me feel hopeful.
