a barber. and some. sevillians

[leporellian]

the correct way to interpret bartolo and marcellina i feel is that marcellina has just finally realized she's a lesbian with adhd at the ripe young age of 54 and bartolo is her kinda mopey drag-along who's somewhere between crowfeather warriorcats (Derogatory) and henry higgins myfairlady (Said with the curiosity of throwing a wet sock in a wind tunnel). she is blatantly using him for his money and he knows it and also cant really do anything about it. hes pacing around going WOE IS ME FOR MY MISTAKES IN LIFE MEAN I AM TRAPPED IN A LOVELESS MARRIAGE (no sympathy given.) meanwhile shes at golden corral on a lesbian date using her husbands DiscoverCard to buy everyone in the building another round of dipping random shit in the chocolate fountain. in this, i believe

yknow I wonder how intentional the choice was of barber of seville for the opera irving's outie was apparently watching on TV earlier

mainly because "being trapped in the care of a patronizing doctor who wants to marry her, missing the man she's actually in love with but being forbidden from seeing him, being lied to by the doctor about how committed to her that man actually is, and then hitting the doctor over the head with a chair" is the most rosina thing I've seen outside of the actual opera

Hey, friends! Opera fella Alek Shrader is launching his kickstarter for the HOUSE OF BARTOLO (a classic horror movie aesthetic production of Rossini's BARBER OF SEVILLE) set that I got to design and do the art for; it's a 2 foot/60 cm-wide model of Bartolo's gothic villa, at roughly the 28mm (1/56) scale common to gaming.

You can follow the kickstarter campaign (no obligation) so that you'll be notified when it launches in mid-June.

The set comes with figures of the entire cast (each leaning into a classic horror movie type (Abrogio is a Frankenstein, the notary is an invisible man, Berta is a creepy nurse, Almaviva is a dracula but his disguises are a headless horseman, an opera phantom, that kind of thing, Figaro is a wolfman, etc).

It was a real joy to help make and I'll talk about it more at length in the coming weeks, but I'm told that Kickstarter campaigns tend to have better legs if folks are following them ahead of time, so I wanted to help Alek out by spreading the word. If you know anyone who might be keen on this sort of thing, I hope you'll steer them towards it!

"the impossible has happened!"

"If you polled Mets fans on their favorite Gary Cohen home run call, Big Sexy’s Big Blast would be the runaway winner. I rewatch it at least once a month or two. His glee is so pure, and yet somehow he never loses his sense of the moment. He gets it right away. He knows immediately, instinctively, that this is amazing, quite possibly the most amazing thing that has ever happened."

An excerpt from "So Many Ways to Lose" by Devin Gordon

It's the 9th anniversary of Bartolo Colón's home run!

Another neighbourhood pal of mine describe this footage similarly, about once a month someone finds a reason to post it and it ends up in his timeline. My husband remembers watching it live on TV whereas I don't (I got serious about watching the Mets on TV during the pandemic), but I mean, it can't be beat. For all the things baseball is and can be, it is at it's best when it is fun.

If you’re looking for some catharsis in these troubled times, consider backing this worthy project whose title is ever more appropriate to the current hellscape in which we find ourselves.

@mystery-moose @cognitiveinequality I feel this is up your alley, perhaps?

Vorrei mettere in ordine

e a piombo

questa materia grezza

malta fango mattoni

farmi il capanno degli attrezzi

che poi sono quei quattro

gatti di sentimenti e stilemi

due remi per la barca

e una candida dea

seminuda

con pochissime idee per la mente.
