After all that, I seriously hope that Ms Swarbrick loves me back!

I'm fine with not being exclusive. From my POV, it was her who was banging on about marriage... I never felt pressured to marry before I turned 30, so my mid-twenties was about sowing my wild oats. One Big Union for Two is a classic song -- it's one of my all-time favourites. And same with Legalise my Name. I'm a massive fan of those '30s and '40s stage scores. It's funny, though: London had cast recordings decades ahead of Broadway... - I think it's strange that Australasian musicals are like a new subgenre, but I predicted that this would happen... my brother and I chatted often about the change-making that it'd take to make Kiwis buy into movie musicals. One of the VUW film lecturers at the time we were students was an expert in movie musicals... I don't think I attended any of her lectures, though I took the FILM231 paper. Les Miz was the film we chatted about the most. We weren't fans, but even the cool kids went to see that one. We thought the singers sounded like garbage, so we tried to design a better method. -

The Big Smoke wasn't as cringe as I thought it was... compared to Ok Chloe, it's a model of restraint -- I'm not an emotionally expressive person if it's not a work-related thing.

work in the opera sense of the word, not the English sense.

That's what opera actually means in Italian. My pronunciation of English is totally flavoured by that.
