Don Giovanni flavors

From different Don Giovanni versions I've seen.

The classic

The traditional Don Giovanni carries himself like a ballet dancer and wears a ballet costume too. He's beautiful, he's arrogant, he's childish, and he's a total creep who would never get away with any of those antics if he wasn't so sexy. Best paired with an ugly awkward Leporello. Needs a really specific type of singer, but if that type is available, works every time.

The business dude

Wears a business suit and a business smile. A fairly straightforward translation of the evil noble to the present day, and especially popular post-metoo. Much like the classic Don Giovanni, he looks so cool that the audience ends up rooting for him in spite of everything.

The senior citizen

Sometimes an aging male director thinks too hard about this opera, and discovers: it's actually not about an evildoer being punished! It's about a sad old dude confronting his own mortality. Don Giovanni doesn't do anything wrong, and is unfairly murdered by cruel losers in the end. I'm not a fan, except of the Christof Loy version in Frankfurt, where DG is old but still evil.

The meta-commentary on opera

E.T.A. Hoffmann called Don Giovanni the "opera of operas" and some productions wish to comment on that. Each one takes a bit of a different approach, often involving extreme costume changes, highly symbolic gestures, or stage-on-a-stage scenes. Very high-concept and very conducive to spectacle, so I love it.

The sad one

This Giovanni has the "I need (women) like the air I breathe" line underlined in red a dozen times and probably circled too. It's not that he likes seducing ladies. But he can't stop, he's addicted, he's doing a public service, it's the only way he can relate to people. He may get wounded in act one and slowly bleed to death over the next hours. He probably cries alone in the darkness during Deh vieni alla finestra. Every good DG has a hint of sadness about him, but taking it too far makes for a whole different opera.

[let-hyjinx-ensue]

Wanted to watch a reupload of James Somerton’s Queer Perfection video to pick it to shreds. Already mentioned this on reddit, but I love Black Swan and it’s one of my favorite movies ever. He fucking pronounces Odile and “Oh-deh-ley”, when it’s supposed to be pronounced “Oh-deel”. Anyone who knows Swan Lake even a little bit would get one of the two only antagonists of the story’s name right. Also, he calls the one of the characters (the ballet director) Jacque. His name is Thomas, I have no idea where he got Jacque from. I don’t even think he watched the fucking movie he made an essay on.

After watching the first section I straight up turned the video off because I couldn’t stand his voice. His reading of his script was serviceable enough for the first part, but after that he was playing up this irritating theatrics to emphasize his words when he had no idea what he’s fucking saying. It just sounded like he was saying word spaghetti at that point.

The refinement of my shopping decision making process

As a Libra I am terribly indecisive (si tiba-tiba astrologi).

Sama mungkin juga karena efek pas masih kecil tuh jarang banget sih momen dibeliin barang sama Mama, mau itu baju atau sepatu atau tas, jadi sekalinya boleh beli dan misalkan cuma beli satu, itu mikirnya bisa lamaaaaaa banget dan biasanya end up dengan opsi yang aku gak suka-suka banget juga. I want them all, but I can't. I want many things, but nothing available really match with what I have in mind.

Terus pas kuliah, tiap hari Jumat itu biasanya w belanja di pasar Jumat depan ITB. Baju-baju bekas impor yang harganya 10-30 ribuan. Karena murah, I didn't really think much. I like the color, I buy it. I like the pattern, I buy it. Belanja baju bekas kayak gitu cukup lama sampe akhirnya menggunung dan sebenernya gak kepake semuanya juga karena, balik lagi, ya ternyata aku gak sesuka itu, gak sebagus itu potongannya, serta beragam alasan lainnya.

Pas mulai kerja di kampus dan lanjut kuliah di Belanda, w mencoba menjadi lebih mindful dalam belanja dan membuat aturan bahwa w akan cuma beli baju yang warnanya hitam, putih, abu, biru dongker, atau beige/khaki/army. Warna-warna netral. I tried coming up with constraints in my decision making. Gak terlalu sukses juga sih sebenernya, karena I ended up with a cupboard full of black clothes that actually look very similar to each other.

Lalu aku memperkenalkan lebih banyak lagi konstrain dalam pengambilan keputusan belanjaku, seperti; atasan harus bisa dipake tanpa pake manset (goodbye atasan-atasan lengan 3/4), gak boleh mirip sama apa yang udah aku punya (ada masanya aku punya 3 ballet flats item yang bentuknya sama persis cuma beda merk aja :(), dan untuk sepatu aku membatasi untuk punya satu warna per satu jenis sepatu.

Pokoknya sekarang itu aku membatasi banget deh waktu yang aku dedikasikan untuk memutuskan akan beli atau nggak. Dan juga berusaha untuk beli barang yang memang aku nggak punya tapi beneran butuh aja.

Scary

Wa terakhir nulis adalah minggu lalu hari Senin pas lagi libur CNY di Indo! Hmm apa ya yang sudah terjadi… Not a lot sih (cek kalender). Hari Rabu minggu lalu makan siang di Popeye Cornmarket street sama Selly dan Aisha (dan Rashid!). Aisha tau dari grup whatsapp Ox Islamic Society kalau Popeye ini ayamnya halal. Dan emang enak sih Popeye tapi ku lebih suka KFC sepertinya. Janjian jam 1 siang lalu ku datang jam 1.30 dan berujung ngobrol sama Aisha sampai jam 15 sepertinya, while Selly pulang duluan. Seru sih, ku sudah lama sekali nggak ngobrol real sama orang kayanya. Jadi beres dari situ sangat meng-evoke my social side (recently lagi introverted banget – in real life ya, not in social media).

Pas diinget-inget lagi ternyata minggu lalu ngerjain lumayan banyak hehe.

Selesai nyuci carius tubes

Masukin 2.5 g samples ke tubes (ini semua selesai di Selasa minggu lalu)

Nulis methods section (ini di hari Rabu)

Terus gara-gara ngerasa udah banyak kerja jadi Kamis sama Jumatnya w haha hihi banget bingung. Pas Rabu malem, ku nonton Evita di Oxford Playhouse sama Diny dan Selly. Sangat bagus! Walaupun nggak se-immersive Frozen secara visual (yaiyalah Non harganya aja udah beda), tapi membuatku appreciate sejarah more. Itu kemarin boleh dapet cuma £13 apa ya, Hamdalah mayan banget kan ya buat nonton play segitu.

Tadi pagi ngobrol sama Kalina katanya lagi ada ballet di New Theatre, dia semalam habis nonton. Ku belum pernah nonton ballet show sih jadi nggak tau if I would like it or not tapi ngga ada salahnya dicoba, cek harganya deh (langsung ngecek tapi mahal, paling murah £34.15 itu pun di pojok banget, skip dulu deh).

Kamis Jumat literally di rumah (buset). Kamis ngapain ye w… lupa. Jumat pun... Jumat Bu Yani ke rumah ngedrop Ayam Rujak dan Klepon (sangat hepi). Sabtu iceskating sama PPI Oxford dilanjut makan pizza di Buona. Nilta ngajak makan di Franco Manca karena lagi ada promo 1 pan £5 tapi karena kami datang di malam minggu jadi penuh tempatnya dan harus nunggu sejam… Esketing seru, w tapi nggak terlalu enjoy karena RUAME banget. Kalau rame banget gini tuh w anxious karena skill level orang beda-beda kan, bisi ada yang jatuh di depan kita, atau ada yang ngebut-ngebut banget. Akhirnya kayanya w di dalam arena cuma 15menit palingan, ga sampe 4 lap LOL.

Minggu di rumah doang seharian. Senin juga. WOW. Kemarin pengen exercise pake app sebetulnya, tapi entah kenapa mager. OH! Kemarin w bermasalah sama abang DHL- OMGGGGG. Intinya adalah ku dapat email dari VFS Global hari Jumat kalau visa w sudah jadi dan akan dikirim passportnya ke rumah Senin. Terus DHL ngeSMS kalau deliverynya akan sampai antara jam 10.15-12.15 terus w tungguin dah tu, dengan asumsi w bisa ke office after I signed the delivery.

Terus baru datang jam 20pm DONGGGG. Bodoh banget emang kalau service tu di Indonesia udah paling juara deh. Mana harusnya w datang ke receptionnya Saba di Pembroke jam 17pm terus akhirnya ga berangkat karena anxious ni paket kapan datengnya... HADEH... Terus akhirnya ku dapat Schengen visa cuma berapa lama tebak???? 1 bulan!!! Dari 4 April sampai 15 Mei... Which means I will have to make another visa for the conference on July di Lyon (dan Lollapalooza juga – ini ku belum beli tiketnya sih, masih mempertimbangkan financial situation, walaupun sekarang jadi lebih mudah karena visa InsyaAllah dicover research fund).

HHHHHH

Hari ini berangkat dari rumah jam 11 siang... Laper jadi langsung ke covered market buat jajan Sasi’s beli Padthai dan Ice Thai Tea (batuk udah sembuh langsung makan es adalah saya). Terus dilanjut mampir ke Blackwells, ada buku judulnya Otherland ku naksir banget tapi masih banyak banget buku di rumah yang belum selesai dibaca AHHHHJKSDHFJKDHKFJDHJF. Sama bukunya Geta Thunberg?? Covernya sangat atraktif it kept calling me. Yaudah Non gapapa diselesein aja itu semua buku yang lagi dibaca plssss.

Ok terus dari Blackwells ke library deh sekarang (ngetik ini posisi lagi di VHL). Sengaja lewat Mansfield Rd karena lagi pengen ganti scenery, terus tiba-tiba ditepok sama Alexa. Btw I ALWAYS felt bad to people who sees me in the road karena I BLAST my headphones really loudly so the chance for me to hear them (if they shouted and called me from far away) is ZERO. Makanya most of the time ppl will chase me dan nepok??? Anyway… iya. Alexa told me she got her visa ALSO until 15 May??? But she’s leaving to NL in 2 weeks (which means she got longer duration of visa).

OMG—SUMPAH ANEH BGT NI HARI. Barusan betul-betul si keyboard tiba-tiba jadi ngetik in Greek (SYOK), hasil googling adalah karena I’ve might accidentally pressed Command+Spacebar yang ternyata akan mengganti bahasa keyboard.

Terus pas lagi jalan itu si Alexa lagi jalan juga sama temannya, ku bilang ku mau ke VHL, “well my department is across the library but I don’t feel like coming to the department, you know see and talk to people” terus si temannya Alexa ini (I’m so sorry I forgot your name huhu) bilang “omg she’s so real for this” LOL tapi iya gaksi. I bet a lot of people can relate??? Kayak.. yaudah mau kerja sih tapi mau skip basa basi sama orang satu kantor aja gitu.

Hhhh buset banyak banget ya yang mau w omongin. BRO??? Capek banget the keyboard kept switching back to Greece everytime I tried to type lagunya DAY6??? Mau bilang let’s love bagus bangettt (kalau kuketik judul koreanya SUMPAH ASLI GA BOHONG akan langsung ngeswitch ke Greece ni keyboard: URI APERO TO SARANGHAJA). OMO sekarang nggak!!!! Anyway mau bahas kenapa judul post ini “Scary” tapi apparently I had SO MANY THINGS TO SAY that I came to this after 11 paragraphs.

Iya.. jadi beberapa waktu lalu ku ketemu Mba Lhuri (ini kayanya pas Pak Desra ke Exeter deh, iya betul). Terus dia yang “wah sibuk apa Non tahun ini? Kan dulu PPI UK, PPI Oxford… kamu mah selalu ada aja ya yang dikerjain”. Terus itu sebetulnya mah ya komen selewat doang but I ended up thinking about it so much? Of course I had non-productive days where I just stay home doing nothing (seperti yang kusampaikan di intro di atas dari Kamis, Jumat, Minggu, dan Senin I literally didn’t go out), tapi sesungguhnya ku anaknya gabisa diem banget. Recently I just registered myself on volunteering in science fair day di Brookes on Feb 18th, terus ini lagi contemplating if I should apply for summer fair Royal Society outreach juga di London in July.

Ku jadi mikir kan, kenapa ya w anaknya gatel banget selalu pengen ngapa-ngapain. Apparently ini adalah manifestasi dari diriku yang kesepian??? (Ini self-diagnosed sih). Tapi beneran ku menyadari kalau lagi sendirian dan ga ngapa-ngapain (ga KPOP-an, ga ngelukis, ga baca, ga main game, ga nyanyi), otakku bekerja dengan sangat scarily (ngomong apasih Non campur-campur). Iya, tapi beneran ngerasa my brain works super scarily when it’s on idle. I keep being mean to myself and would just say bad things to myself aja gitu: ntar tiba-tiba ngelintas idea “Non, you don’t deserve to be in Oxford, you’re just lucky, you don’t have the capacity to think and write as good as these people around you.” Ya you know the drill lah ya, intinya those dark thoughts yang gave birth to this exact tumblr: I need gratitude journal to be grateful for what I’ve got right now, where I am right now.

Iya… makanya I think: I should always do something. Kayanya dulu jaman S1 nggak pernah ngerasa dan mikir kaya gini samsek… Kenapa ya… Ini mulai sejak di Ox sih. Sejak ku menyadari I SUCK at writing (I used to, sekarang sudah better InsyaAllah). My brain might end up to be the one who kills me kayanya. Yaudah sebetulnya cuma mau ngeluarin unek-unek itu aja sih (tujuan awalnya buka msword dan drafting this post, but it gets too scary that I ended up beating around the bush and not writing it earlier).

Oh iya! Terus ku lagi baca Natasha Lunn’s Conversations on Love. Tbh it’s… ok (?) I guess? It’s not that spectacular and it’s not like you can learn A LOT of new things, tapi lebih ke realisation aja sih kayak: oh iya ya, I have my family around me, my friends, my colleague, my GOD whose love to me means a lot and love doesn’t always have to come from that one man you called soulmate. But it’s a fun read. I recommend.

Dah gitu aja. Buset ini nulis ini doang sampe 2 jam saking bacotnya w. Habis ini mau ngedesign materi buat pelatnas 1 IGEO dan take a walk sambil call Iqbal sepertinya. Nanti malem jam 19.30 ada Jardine’s CNY Dinner di Grand Sichuan. Huf. Btw wishing everyone a great week!

Freya Josephine Emerson

Lahir tanggal empat Juli 2001 di Jakarta. Sejak kecil hidup gue nomaden. Lahir di Jakarta, tapi aslinya orang Bekasi. Pindah ke Surabaya sampai SMP. Pernah juga tinggal di Sydney selama seminggu. Iya, cuma liburan doang. Kelas dua SMA akhirnya kembali lagi ke planet Bekasi tercinta sampai lulus.

Orang Bekasi kenapa lahiran di Jakarta? Kalau kata mami biar keren aja di akta kelahiran gue nantinya. Sampai sekarang gue masih nggak tau mami bercanda apa enggak. Sekarang tau lah, kalau gue nggak jelas keturunan siapa. Cita-cita gue waktu kecil adalah jadi ballerina, gara-gara keseringan nonton Barbie. Umur enam tahun maksa mami mau ikut kelas ballet. Emang dasar bocah nggak bisa diem, baru tiga bulan ikut kelas udah bikin onar. Saking semangat nari nggak sengaja nabok muka temen gue sampai biru.

Say goodbye deh, sama ballerina.

Dari kecil emang sukanya nyusahin orang tua (sampai sekarang, sih). Rumah gue di Surabaya punya dua lantai. Kamar tidur dan kamar mandi gue ada di lantai dua. Suatu hari nyalain air buat ngisi bathtub, eh, nungguin penuh sampai ketiduran. Alhasil kebanjiran sampai lantai satu. Salah siapa? Salah gue, lah.

Gue bersyukur banget punya mami papi yang super sabar sama anak cewek satu-satunya yang kelakuannya bikin ngelus dada ini.

yea i may draw connor too much but we all need a ballet au

[wannabe-british-fangirl]

I just started listening to Nutcracker for the first time this season and immediately the desire to add something to my DEH Ballet!AU became so strong WTF

[erosonline]

The full photo!!! I finished The Dear Evan Hansen Au drawing for my friend and ahhhh I truly love it!!! 

[unproduciblesmackdown]

absolutely no one was in the building but me so i sang along to bops super unrestrained loud. dunno when in recent memory or if i’ve ever gone ahead and been that loud, even on roller coasters and concerts where i yell at the parts ur supposed to yell at to be fun

like i was just thinking abt how its hard for me to sing b/c you have to be loud b/c chest voice and putting ur damn breath into it = Volume. so yknow i was like, i like music and i like to sing, lemme take this chance to try to go ahead and be as loud as i fuckin want about it. i had some fun. im neither that good nor that bad a singer but who cares? some ppl, but not me. shame the world is denied my amazing input on all possible fronts, right. anyways i put so much on being quiet and i dont like ppl talking too loud around me and i sure dont ever elevate my voice and its fun to hit a pitch and volume that normal i have to associate with a negative survival-mode adrenal response, and that isnt supposed to be available/allowed to me

god knows i forget the podcast and the specifics of the subject but i remember hearing abt some project where ppl put on a musical but everyone involved is in the homeless community. i’ll go and be like “oh i don’t like this musical” and leave and die. fr i’m just more and more believing that what’s left for me is to finagle my way to a large city with enough homeless ppl to have subsets, like gay/trans pockets. and maybe i’ll make a friend or two and then go ahead and die.

Connor wasn’t always angry. There used to be a time when he was just a little kid who loved playing dress up with Zoe, watching Star Wars with Larry, and baking with Cynthia.

He was just a hurting boy who got lost along the way…

It's gotten to the point where one of my friends is actually terrified when I tell her, "Wanna hear a song?"
