Hijoto! HO!

Delayed-gratification presents are always the best.* Zum Beispiel, on my birthday I got to receive two tickets to an International Arts Festival New Zealand Symphony Orchestra ... WAGNER GALA.

And last night, I got to go to it.

I now have a ridiculous girl-crush on Simon O'Neill.

Feast your eyes on THAT bit of Kiwi-born Julliard-graduate helden-fucking-tenor crumpet, would ya?

I may also have purchased a CD. Y'all should be warned that visits to my house in the near future may involve gratuitously loud opera.

J would like to state for the record that he totally did not smuggle in our most cultured teddy bear into the performance. It was not thoroughly adorable.




*For a subjective value of "best", natch.
