Last night we went to Ariadne auf Naxos, which is an opera, it has to do with Ariadne and Theseus, but after they kill the Minotaur, and Theseus has abandoned her on a desert island. She shouldn't have been surprised, Theseus was a real asshole, all she had to do was wiki him. So now I'm thinking that I'll write an opera. Since they all seem to be about strange things, I'm going to call it Pinocchio. But it'll take place after Pinocchio becomes a real boy. He'll realize it isn't all its cracked up to be, and thus, opera ensues. By this time, Geppetto is an extremely old man who has involuntary bowel movements. At the end of the opera (after 90 minutes) The Turquoise Fairy comes and turns Pinocchio back into a marionette, just so she doesn't have to hear him bitch anymore. The main aria will be sung by her.

I'm reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "A Coney Island of the Mind" so i don't actually have to visit Coney Island
Today is Friday, Feb. 5th, and its high time I wrote some more songs. Today is going to be a songwriting day. The only time I'm going to take a break from songwriting is to eat and possibly run if I get stuck. There will be no showering, there will be no TV, and there will be no going to the bathroom.

Wow. I would see that Opera. As long as it's not in Italian. I had a crazy dream last night that I went to NYC and there were no people and it was clean. Weird. Then I saw Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt modeling for The Gap. They invited me to dinner. Anyway, just dream residue. They really stick with me, at least the feeling of the dream, all day long.
