Hippier, happier and right silly!

Queen of the Night aria - one of my favourite song pieces - but I don't know if I'd like this production. The singer's good though. this one is far more correct - and also really well sung (note: different song but same opera).


A piece of good news that can't be overstated - for morale reasons:
BBC: Iraq 1-0 Saudi Arabia
Iraq clinched their first Asian Cup victory with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia in Jakarta.

A comment on CBC this morning caught my attention - Iraq won one of the harder tournaments against teams that played the world cup. They won. Their team is mixed from all of the different sides.... this has to be good for that country.

Heh. I'm not normally much of a football fan (I'd rather play) but this rocks.



oh and for any odd Neil Gaiman fans: ideo of Neil being snogged by Jonathan Ross at the Eisner Awards (from lampbane via officialgaiman but hasn't been posted to his blog yet). Just in case more press is needed *grin*
