October 23, 2004


Dear Diana,
Does that look like real writing or what?! We (Talia and I) made cupcakes. We went for a walk this evening. Talia is next to me and making me want to scream!!!! She's that annoying (it's mostly with her chewing). I was sitting there, and they just "settled" in. Aaaarrgh. Why won't she go practice?!?!? Now Daddy is driving me bonkers! Hmmph. I leave again. Whew! Now here is some of Candide:
Cunegonde: It's been four years since you promised a wedding; yet though I tell you to stop, you continue to rumple my bedding. I'd rather be dead and buried than live this life as an unmarried wife. Tell me, when are we going to get married?
Governor: Quiet.
Great, I'm real impressed. Bye for no apparent reason (ooooh!)

Kitty

Two notes:
•Obviously, this was Bernstein's Candide, not Voltaire's.
•I didn't know what Cunegonde's speech meant; I just really admired the rhymes and the sound of the language, and I thought she sounded sassy and cool.
