Die Liebe Der Danae: Opera Gold, Love, and Lust

Posted in brandy, opera, tagged , , , , , , on February 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Music, in particular opera, has brought me far more pleasure than gold.  I have a few ugly gold cufflinks—can you find shirt to wear them with these days?  I have many gold rings; one sporting a one-carrot, yellow, Australian diamond.  They are beautiful, and still fit my fingers after many years.  But they are empty [...]

Posted in health and safety, Mining history, tagged , , , on January 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Today was cold, mainly as a result of last night’s snow which left a wet slush on the sidewalks of the townhouse complex.  I trudged through the slush to dispose of garbage in the common shed from which it is collected at irregular intervals.   Lying in the shed was a yellowed copy of an old [...]

At this link is an exhaustive review of Saturday’s Met Opera Faust.  Accordingly, I refrain from analyzing the singers, but comment only on the production and the emotions it rouses.

Trek, Cannondale, and Seymour Riding

Mining made the metals and money; so today I bought a new bicycle.  I do not need a new bike, but what the hell, it is beautiful and so light that I can pick it up with two fingers.

Weekend Eve Mining: New Opportunities for Profit

Posted in Jobs and Salaries, Money & Mining, opera, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Went drinking last night.  A fellow drinker makes about $150 a month playing Eve On Line, a massive on-line mining game.  He tells me there are upward of 400,000 players, probably all making more than he does.  Thus the economy of Eve is about $60 M a month.  Probably more than most mines! He specializes [...]

Opera Week in Review: Lillian Alling, La Gazzetta, and La Pietra Del Paragone

Posted in British Columbia, opera, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

   This  is the pre-production discussion of the opera.   I subsequently attended the opera and write my views at this link.  Nevertheless the following is still interesting and relevant. CBC radio is trumpeting the premier of a new Canadian opera on the 16th October in Vancouver.  The opera is Lillian Alling, the true story of a [...]

On Saturday night, we went [...]

Sex, Opera, and Weekend Mining

Posted in Oil sands, opera, Reclamation, tagged , , , , , , , , on March 22, 2010 | 2 Comments »

The weekend is past.  Saturday we went to see the Met Opera Simon Boccanegra.  No overt sex, but lots of innuendo tantamount to incest.  Then there was intrigue, revolt, and regicide.   Tonight, we watched Partenope, a Handel opera; as I have said before Handel is pure sex to music—or pure music to sex, if you [...]

Not for your glory, but for your countrymen.  Let the circle be drawn.  For in the circle sleep Brunhilde and Douglas B. Silver.  And around the circle pace Aslan, Wotan, and Dumbledore.
