So we went to see a Cavalli opera the other night. This one is called (in Italian) The Virtue and Strength of Cupid's Arrows. We were running late and had to practically sprint to the opera, a decent 30 minute walk away. We got there and got our tickets and they made no sense. There were two different letters and a seat number. But we just showed our tickets to the usher and he found our seats for us. We were on the very side and could only see half the stage. But I followed along with the summary we were given as best I could. We moved seats a bunch during intermissions, trying to get a better view. But by the end we just gave up and tried our best to watch the half of the stage we could see. Everytime we switched seats, though, this one usher would flirt with us... "Buena sera, signora." "Ti piace l'opera?" It was funny... and kind of creepy.
Now I have to write a paper on the opera for my music class. It should be interesting...

What are Cookie Crumbs?
Cookie Crumbs is the term Inkblot made up for the little pleasures she finds in her life. Usually she finds them randomly and feels compelled to share them with you so that you will be happier. Whether you are happier because you like the cookie crumbs, or because you are laughing so hard at Inkblot's dorkiness... whose to say? But either way, you are happier!

About Inkblot
- Inkblot
- ... is a college student at a small liberal arts school. Currently, she is studying in Venice for the semester. Cookie Crumbs is Inkblot's first blog, and it will be dedicated to her travels until the semester ends! She is also abandoning her Inkblot moniker in favor of not confusing her friends and family. Keeping up with journals isn't her thing, but hopefully this will work out alright. Inkblot's favorite things include the color green, the number 52, alternative rock and indie music, cheese, crafts, shopping, reading, and writing (of course).
