I don't want to give up on the drawing class. But I've got two homework assignments and am at a loss of what I'm going to do for either. One is to draw a poisoned apple. I have an idea of making it like the apple in the Grimms story, with differently colored cheeks, but that wouldn't convey it being poisoned, and I don't know how I'm going to do that. The other is to draw something with texture. That one I've got no good ideas at all. I could probably get away with only doing one of them, but I don't want to walk into that class empty-handed after visibly struggling last week. I've probably got a good deal of today to figure out of them out, but I don't know how much, because we have to replace a broken toilet seat and we've got no idea how long that's going to take to sort out. Nor do I know if I'm going to watch anything on TV today. The Kitten Bowl, maybe, if I'm free at that point. I could do with watching some kittens right now.
At least Porgy and Bess was well worth it. Apparently it's been a huge hit at the Met, who have been too snobbish/racist to put it on much in their history, and they've even recorded a cast album. It stands, after all, as proof that you can blend more modern music genres with opera and make it work perfectly, and this production finally gave Eric Owens the chance to shine as the lead. We saw the audience in the theatre give the cast a standing ovation, which they well deserved.
