Khan

Relatively unexciting but productive day.  Yoda's ballet class, went home and cleaned, did laundry, finished my taxes, mailed them off, went to Patti's where  SURPRISE - I got yelled at for not being on the music - then worked for Charlie.  Yoda asked me where Batman was - I said I didn't know. Though in retrospect, there were so many more witty things I could have said.  

I'm watching a tv show now that says 1 in 12 men are related to Genghis Khan.  Makes you think --- 

Welp tomorrow I'm breaking in my new pointe shoes so I can audition for Christopher Wheeldon at the Met on Thursday.  Again, another TOTALLY Quixotic quest - but one I have to try.  Wheeldon is the current Balanchine - so all of these ballerinas are going to be there being -ballerinas.  It's actually the only audition I can do to this week.  Other auditions include Frank Wildhorn's (of Scarlet Pimpernel composer fame)  new musical called WONDERLAND based on Alice and Wonderland  - but they want pop songs and pop voices - Babes in Arms which is looking for 14 year old tap dancers - and - well - Patti is having auditions for a cruise line - but she informed me today she would cut me because I cant count music.  (WHAT?  Who said I was going to audition for her anyway?  I don't want to do a cruise!  Especially not one I don't get to play Ariel!  Why did she have to go out and say that in front of the class?  I swear I'm not THAT bad at counting music - and I swear I"m not the ONLY one who is off the music - I watched the other groups dance - I'll just pretend its because I'm so fabulous technique wise she wants to push me even further!:)  yay for pumping myself up - lol. ) So - all that being said - I'll be going to Wheeldon and that's it this week.

btw - I got to the entry in my encyclopedia book that talks about Andrew Lloyd Webber - PHEW!  I feel enlightened.   I also learned that Hollywood was founded by a prohibitionist who wanted a town to uphold is his staunch moral values - hrmmmmmmmmmmm - wonder what he would of Hollywood now.

And - thanks to youtube instructional videos - I have now figured out how to actually do my hair and makeup - so I was a really cool braid today and "sleeping beauty" inspired eyeshadow - and it made me happy.
