It is a shame; as you might guess....but the reason she has left is not because we are writing an opera....it is because she wants it to be about Aristole and ancient think-tanks, and I prefer to have it based on the essays of Michel de Montaigne....[as you ask, the dog does the libretto, the cat sets the music, and I run out for snacks....]

I hope the libretto doesn't turn out to be doggerel.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

when the bombs fall and the shells explode, dogs cling to their human companions but cats get as far away as they can from any human ... do bombs figure in the plot and will the cats be abstract or figurative in their score?According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Jazz cats could be both abstract and figurative - if you can figure itComment

No my canine and feline friends are much more inclusive than that....It's about Ants....The male lead once while flipping through the Penguin Complete Esays of Montaigne, came across an essay about Ants , but has never again been able to find that essay on Ants....was it a dream ?.... how far can a cat and a dog go in extending the metaphor of the Ants[and their Anthill ] to be seen as humans and their hill of beans....I may get involved in the stage design. I see a set a bit like that Guiness advert where you swirl around then return to what appears to be the workings of a clock, but then you see that bloke from Bladerunner sitting there like it's his front room, but no it's just froth....bong chingComment

I hate to be nosey, but is it really true that you and your Partner 'never married' as it states in your Times obituary ... ?Comment

I think that Times obituary is merely a euphemism

I've left them to it for a few days....there seem to be an awful lot of empty boxes of Jaffa cakes and Orioles scattered about on my returning....
....from the notation at hand that they have done, it seems they have only written for music stand [the dog] and litter box [the cat]....
....the libretto seems to be going better [written around the E a third above middle C]...."Hill of Beans....Hill of Beans....I see you like an Ant Hill"...."Where is your decorum....why do you scurry so", " you torture me with your industry", "Oh no, you are going to take me to Hague War Crimes Comission for burning you with a magnifying glass when I was young", "But I was young....I was young ....I was young....I WAS YOUNGgggggggggggggggggg"
....coming on well I think, don't you ??....request to empty tray and new cat litter....and sponge around the music stands....just of out for some Hob Nobs....Last edited by eighthobstruction; 09-09-11, 06:30.bong chingComment

Is that 'that' a demonstrative adjective or a relative pronoun?Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostI think that Times obituary is merely a euphemismIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

I don't know such things....But....it may be the cousin of a girl I once went with, on a CND protest (circa 1977)....she didn't bring her euphonium tho'; it would have been too heavy carrying it around London....[and you know what girls are like....I would have ended up carrying it]bong chingComment
