My city has welcomed me home properly. Since I've been here, we've had at least three real DC thunderstorms. Today's was a beauty: rain sheeting down, sky-splitting flashes, a constant thunder like the drums of war (back when war involved drums.)

Tonight, the air is full of the smell of rain. (DC summers have an especially wet green smell, even in the burning sun, so the post-thunderstorm scent here is especially intense.) Yesterday evening, watched by a few curious fireflies, I planted tomatoes, basil and sage in my mother's garden. The rain should make them happy.

Rehearsals with [livejournal.com profile] quesadelia are going well, except that Richard Strauss is stomping all over my brain in spike-heeled boots. He and I will come to an agreement of some sort soon, I hope.

Tonight I went to hear a concert performance of Eugene Onegin at the Kennedy Center. I love that opera, and somehow I was in the right mood for it today. Having heard a bunch of talented people sing about my problems for three hours, I feel much better.

Also, I was officially the last geek in the country to see Iron Man-- but having seen it, I MUST HAVE ROBERT DOWNEY JUNIOR now. If you see him, can you please put him in one of those FedEx boxes and send him along? If you use enough packing tape, he shouldn't struggle too much. Thanks.
