Susanna Hoffs. The most needless nose job ever!

The Asmo is in a remarkably Norse mood these days. All tagelharpy and stuff.

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.
Luxembourg trembles.

Billy, I applaud your choice of a first ballet to see. I've seen The Firebird three times in various places and I am overwhelmed every time. Please make the effort to attend a performance. Nothing can compare with the experience of feeling the music in your gut. Speaking of Stravinsky, I've also seen The Rite of Spring a number of time as well. The weirdest was probably a performance in Amsterdam, where there was practically no set apart from creative lighting and with the dancers dressed in gym outfits. The orchestra played marvellously, though.
