Olivia Giovetti

My husband said the features list reminded him of the ideas he kept for future challenges in his D&D campaign.

Dan Wineman @dwineman@xoxo.zone You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure. Nevertheless, comedy is a powerful healing force. My recommendation is to seek out live entertainment. For example, great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. 🔗 Sponsored Reply (Great Clown Productions, Ltd.)

I loved Linda and am honored to be invoked alongside her.

Smells like: Fingering Beethoven's skull.

Yes?

Not sure I agree with you there.

(But yes, I also would see it obviously.)

I see you an all-Roomba production and raise you an all-cats-riding-Roomba production.

So that's where it started.

Doing a drunk review of that with @kevinng.bsky.social and @akseltoll.bsky.social was a career highlight.

This is like the cultural inverse of Jonas Kaufmann's Christmas Album and I don't know how to feel about it.

YouTube video by Art Garfunkel jr. - Topic Weißer Winterwald (Winter Wonderland)

Today I learned that Art Garfunkel's son, Art Garfunkel, Jr., has released a teutonically-tinged Christmas album and I was not prepared to hear this guy sing "Winter Wonderland" in German.

Into which category does the finale to Khovanshchina fit?

I love that, when they were casting Sex and the City, wanted Trey's problem to be that he was the most boring person on the planet. And so they naturally cast the most delightful weirdo they could find.

Happy to oblige.

Honestly need to be hit over the head with the Mahler Hammer SAD Lamp.

The way I could make that in like 5 minutes with very little trouble…

(The Anna Netrebko Accountability Advent Calendar: Open each door to get a photo she wishes she hadn’t taken, a quote she wishes she hadn’t said, a melted chocolate PR statement, or a shattered candy apology.)

I just told a friend that I could fill out this entire Anna Netrebko Accountability Advent Calendar quite easily but it seemed like overkill and they responded that people in their 20s have no idea about half of her problematic moments and oh my god 2019 was six years ago

Musicologists: Can someone with an AMS Journal subscription help me out with a recent article that's not on JSTOR?

I love it because Classic FM wrote about it and called me "twitter user Olivia Giovetti" not realizing I actually wrote for them some years before.

I love that I got famous for sharing this in 2020 on Twitter.

Just going to leave this right here.
