x. the last romantic, sydney opera house
so, i went to the symphony last night and for the first time sat in the choir stalls behind the stage at the opera house. have to say, the sound was not great, which was unexpected, and really should be better if they are selling tickets for these seats in a world-class concert hall. anyway there was a great brass ensemble piece and joyce yang playing rach 3 was pretty impressive, i can't say the same for rachmaninoff's 3rd symphony though. funny thing of note: from behind obviously we could see the men in full white tie and tails, with the chairs the kind with a spine to split the tails around when they sat down. some of them just sat on their tuxedos though hehe.

seriously, even worse than the 1st book. seriously, the movie was better. i don't know whether to blame the translation, seeing as it was riddled with grammatical errors, but maybe they left them in to preserve that euro-english flavour. also the 'funny' parts were anything but. worst book i have read this year by far.
lxxxi. best american comics, 2008
not bad, a few strange ones in there. i don't know what to think of lynda barry and her feint-ruled paper.
