have been sick with the flu since last tuesday. it was Friday before i could sit up and do anything other than lie on the sofa and watch mindless TV [ yes you know you do too] caught up with four months of saved to DVR episodes of Gilmore Girls. (ok so i want to grow up to be loreli gilmore)

sad to miss Mary Dunleavy‘s role debut in Violetta at the MET on Friday night

Really had wanted to see it. but from some posts on Opera-L it seems to have gone exceedingly well which is grand for Mary deserves to be singing more at the MET than some other people whom I could name.

do whatever you can to not catch this – its a bad one.
