Last night we watched "The Threepenney Opera" by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill. It was a great film, and it was also interesting to see the "plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose" theme: the people getting preyed on and manipulated by the rich. The movie could have moved a little bit faster, and sometimes the acting was the heavy Teutonic variety, but heck, it was still good.
I pranced around a little before going to bed, posing like Lotte Lenya and singing "Mac the Knife" in a gravelly voice.
My boyfriend was having some heavy duty weltschmertz himself these last couple of days. I told him he should set up his own "Weltschmertz Man" blog and give the male view of the depressive side of life, but he demurred. Come on, T.D.! You can do it! A little hopeless scribbling never hurt anybody!
