coming soon…
(hopefully before spring)
“The continuing wedding festivities are halted when Raimondo enters to announce that Lucia, gone mad, has stabbed and killed Arturo in the bridal chamber. Disheveled, unaware of what she has done, she wanders in, recalling her meetings with Edgardo and imagining herself married to him.”
from “il dolce suono” from Lucia Di Lammermoor.
wrapping up another wuog show poster… finally…
i like the way this little clip of it looks! will you show us the whole thing?!
I would be left-handed and have to spend extra to get knives made for lefties. Good thing though, I guess. I don’t have to worry about right-handed devils stealing them.

Looking for some really great reds in the $10-$20 price range. Any suggestions?
I’ve already started compiling a (small) list of cheap things I’d like as gifts for Christmas. Maybe I’m jumping the gun, but I can be kind of picky, and would rather people get me things I will use. So, traditionally I try to roll out a little list before December to make things easier on every one. The last thing we need to stress us out this time of year is what to get each other as gifts. I think we’ve all got more important things to budget our stress for, like, for example, our budgets.
Here is a small list so far. Unfortunately, making a registry might be a bit tough through tumblr, so I’ll just have to hope I don’t get five of the same thing. And of course, If any of my tumblr followers would like to participate in a gift exchange, I am down. Just shoot me an email (mmcgill829@gmail.com) with the subject GIFT EXCHANGE with your name and address and I’ll add you to Santa’s list. ha. The only thing more exciting than getting gifts from loved ones is receiving them from strangers in the mail. Plus, what better way to get to know someone new? I think it’d be a nice idea!
I would suggest actually viewing this post on my tumblr page, rather than your dashboard, that way you can see photos!
1. Bodum Nero Lunch Bag $19.99 - because I hate the idea of ‘brown-bagging.’ Black, Grey, or Red would be preferred.
2. Pyrex Deluxe Storage Set $21.97 - because I can never have enough Pyrex. Also, specifically this kind because the lids allow you to open them for steam ventilation while microwaving, which is very handy when reheating food at work.
3. Quattro Stagioni Spice Jars $1.49/ea - because I’m tired of keeping spices in those little plastic box things they come in from Whole Foods. If you are feeling extra nice, the large Quattro Stagioni Jar (17oz) would be awesome for my hand-made curry powder. If I’m feeling extra extra generous, I may even mail some out as a present.
4. Lodge Cast Iron Mini-Fry Pans $19.99 (on sale $14.99) - I already have two of these, and they are just perfectly sized for a single serving. I’d like to have another set.
5. Breakfast Lunch Tea (a cookbook) $23.96 - A beautiful cookbook from a little bakery in Paris called Rose Bakery. Ive been meaning to pick this one up for a while, and now it is out of print, and difficult to find.
6. Any of the books on my Amazon.com wishlist. - because I need some motivation to read more.
I will continue to edit this list and link back to it until December.
