I haven't given up opera! Though it has slowed way down as (a) I have gotten less free time due to one kid liking to go to bed relatively late and the other kid liking to wake up relatively early (b) wheeeeen is cold season going to end???? (possibly conflated with allergy season, but I'm pretty sure we have been having colds) (c) apparently I'm reading books again (d) it's Hugo season, so I don't have a lot of time for other media until I finish all these vegetables (some of them are yummy roasted vegetables in butter, but some of them are the boiled soggy ones) (e) I'm also trying to watch Nirvana in Fire (which I am also LOVING), with the result that I'm watching both NiF and opera at a glacial pace.
