Modified Rapture
Last Thursday I went to the university G&S Society’s production of The Mikado. It was a little frightening to realise that 10 years after I was a not wholly note-perfect second clarinet for the York uni. society’s production I still know almost the entire thing, but gratifying that although this lots acting and production was better, our Little List lyrics were superior. I think that Gilbert and Sullivan may be best performed by students rather than professionals who want to take it seriously, but I should like to see a professional production once just to hear the violins in tune for “Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted.”
Also, one of the male flunkies was dream casting for Ivan Vorpatril.
About to have a nervous breakdown, as leaving work in a week, and had virtually no time to do any preparation for same. Arrgh! I had intended to go into the office at the weekend, but was just too tired. Instead after many weeks of labout I finished making this dress (black with the satin inset, but the shorter version) , and it fits like a glove and is absolutely sensational. Pity I'm leaving Cambridge before I'll have a chance to wear it!
ETA: Have decided to buy a lap-top computer. Tell me, F'list, your thoughts on PC or AppleMac? Bearing in mind that I basically want it for word-processing and the internet.

The only things that have gone wrong with my PC laptop have been entirely my own fault: carrying it round in an ill-fitting case with the power line still plugged in, causing internal socket damage; er, dropping it downstairs... The fact that it allowed itself to be repaired and function again on both occasions speaks wonders for its character. I don't know anything about Macs apart from their sleek prettiness and general expensiveness.
There is a new version of Windows coming in, so I suppose there might be some bugs in which haven't been identified and sorted yet? But probably not.

I am sure there are _lots_ of bugs which haven't been identified yet - which is why I would get an older version of Windows instead! I would love to be good enough with computers to be able to use non-Microsoft PC operating systems - but I'm not, and am not going to be, because I'd rather make dresses instead.
