quote of the night

Annie: All the Italian I know is lifted directly from Puccini.
George: No, what you need to be listening to is Wagner. Fuckin' Wagner has horse balls...he has the balls of a stallion.

Best birthday ever? Quite possibly. Even though I'm not drunk. I will get to all of it tomorrow, I promise. And fic too!
Music:: happy again? it must be in the water
Mood:: 'happy' happy

Wagner was a, if you will excuse the horrid phrasology, pussy.

Now Verdi. There's a man who lived up to his bark.

Nothing wrong with that, there's plenty of useful Italian in Puccini, especially Boheme: all that food and clothing vocab.

Mozart too: I had a surreal moment looking at a hand dryer in a cafe and realising I recognised the word "asciugare" from the aria in Don Giovanni where Don Ottavio promises to dry Donna Anna's tears.
