Vienna 1971—A Student Journal
A year of music, study, travel, sightseeing & friends.

Day 288 — Very enjoyable
16-May-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)


TRANSCRIPT

Mostly the same old work during the day. But today, less. Too lazy.

Opera. Rigoletto. Ready for the same old comment? Very enjoyable. Soprano had a really pleasant voice—and the opera—both are “light.”


REFLECTIONS

Opera is Rigoletto. Very enjoyable.

I guess I finally realize that my writing in the journal is often repetitive. I am always saying that performances are “very enjoyable.” Well, they were. Remember, I was writing this for myself, never thinking that the whole world would be reading it in a blog (well, maybe five of you, or so).

This is why traditional news media (TV, radio, newspapers) focus on “bad things.” Normal, everyday, good, simple, life events, are not quite as interesting.

Not certain how I can spruce up the drama to this here blog and journal. Pictures of girls in bikinis?
