Park Date

Today I took myself to the park, dressed in a flowy white dress, laid out on a rock and read Phantom of the Opera. Life is too short to not live freely with whimsy.

Opera for all

One advantage of living in Italy is that you can see real La Scala opera singers right outside the town hall. And, of course, if you have a friend who is a singer and you may simply injoy to see all of them.

Vet vibes

He reaaally doesn't like car rides. Especially to the vet. Funny how cats switch up bc he was giving an entire dramatic opera for the entire ride but not a peep at the vet -_-

Help plz

Okay, so I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong on first dates. I think it's the talking about myself part. I've experienced a lot so I have a story for nearly everything and can relate to most people. But I think that it might be overwhelming for people on a first date to hear that I'm a… read more

Being a writer

Being a writer is not just about being creative or enjoying long hours alone, exploring fictional worlds and characters. It's about patience. The resilience to finish a story and then rewrite it, again and again. It's about enduring subjective, often opaque industry rejections without losing hope.… read more

Day 23

Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you grows stronger yet And though you turn from me to glance behind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind~

The Architecture of Time ⏳️

Standing on layers of history. This spot was once the Astor Place Opera House, the site of a deadly 1849 riot sparked by a rivalry between two Shakespearean actors. It was so infamous it was nicknamed "Dis-Astor Place" before being replaced by this red-brick Victorian beauty in 1883. From… (edited) read more

New here 💖

Hi :-) I'm Taylor, 33, non-binary masc presenting, autistic, and I'm a chef, opera singer and music composer! Nice to meet you.

There’s just something missing

My life has been rather orderly I think - I set a goal, I achieve the goal, I set a new goal. And I suppose I’ve done enough of those right combined with the minimum amount of luck that I have some level of confidence, even if it’s tentative. It’s just not satisfying. But it feels silly to… read more

Bliss

I made a new oc very heavily based around Repo the Genetic Opera! The lighting and perspective ain't great but quote proud of it otherwise

Opera

I drew him yesterday ~

I... am so... tired. 🤯

TL;DR: I drafted so much last week my fingers should unionize. Let me count: · 1 philosophical tome (The Interstitial Tome) · 1 legal diagnostic (WHEREAS Report) · 1 remedial order (THEREFORE Report) · 1 one‑party boundary document (The Bastion) · 1 full‑length autofiction opera (The Ravenous… read more

New work on an old song

I started this song with my late wife about 10 years ago. She really liked it back then and I thought it was actually a great song. We never really had a chance to revisit it. It's part of a rock opera and it was the first song that was specifically aimed at it. And I remember I wanted to make it a… read more

Going to the opera for my birthday I thought celebrating on Friday the 13th would be perfect.😊 (edited)

From the upcoming Rock Opera

This is a track from a great writer I know, who called me up when my studio was still open to the public. He came over and said he wanted to record some simple acoustic demos. He played me a few, and I kind of flipped! He wrote them in his alter ego, Rosco Villa. In those days I knew him as… read more

Do you sing in the shower ??

Apparently it’s the best place acoustically. There was a video recording of man. Who sang. In his shower. Amazing he sounded like an opera singer. A natural !

ANOTHER NEW ONE FROM THE ROCK OPERA.

Looking for my own queen, too. This is part of a larger production, and if you enjoy quirky original music, this song has maximum quirk!!

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 4

I've seen people bad mouth this season, but I'm loving it. The constant tone change is great. Especially that Soap Opera episode. Goofy at 1st, and then a 180 into the serious, especially if you're a parent

SOAP Opera

Aired from 1966 to 1971. This show was a very big deal when it came out. Supernatural was still a taboo subject in the U.S. to air on TV. It went on to spawn 2 full length films in 1970 and 1971, a revival show in 1991 that only lasted 12 episodes before being cancled and the 2012 Tim Burton film… read more
