++ Seeing Les Misérables for the first time. Some of the songs make WAY MORE SENSE when you see staging than when your mom just plays the soundtrack a zillion times. Also, best stage effect of someone falling ever. (Projected moving backgrounds: they mostly just looked like Dungeon Maker, but the fall was exquisitely done.)

-- Lost most of yesterday to forgotten-meds headache. Butterbur not working out as well as hoped, still trying to adjust dose etc.

+ Raspberries continue good.

- Arthropod pet has passed on for unknown reasons. We had a nice little burial, at least.

--- Apparently my uterus was NOT letting me off easy this month, it was just taking a fucking siesta.

+++ Rowing on the lake with my sweetie today was lovely, and neither of us got sunburned at all. We did not quite lose our hats.

+ Despite being antsy-energetic and grouchy, I got some good housework done today.

My favorite thing about the staging of Les Mis is the fact that people have actually done the math of how long it would take Javert to fall off that particular bridge in Paris and figured out that he would be cut off by drowning about 1/3 of the way into his final note.

His sheer power of emo ridiculousness bent reality, I am certain. (My aunt was saying before the show how she sympathizes with him SO MUCH. Really?! I knew she was a bit mentally rigid, but come on.)
