punk fairy princess

Today I am exhausted.  I woke up an hour earlier than usual so that I could sign up for the American Idiot musical dance call.  The Green Day Album American Idiot (wikipedia it if you don't know what it is - it is a rock opera about the political and social situation in America and the apathy of many of its citizens) is being transferred to the stage and I'm fairly certain it's going to be one of the most amazing theatrical events of all time.  The choreographer is genius!  I watched his work on youtube and it is beautiful.  He actually choreographs a lot of Shakespeare - oddly enough.  The musical will have dancers who don't sing, so it will be in the style of Notre Dame de Paris, which is one of my and my mom's favorite musicals.  The choreography truly reaches crevices of emotions words can't reach, it adds an undercurrent and opposition that reveals new aspects of the story - to quote Boydy - it "releases the text."  At any rate, it's another show I am super excited about.  At one point, Reinking and I were trying to adapt it, but since neither one of us embodies "Punk" we ultimately either failed or were beaten to the punch.  In my opinion though, this creative team is PERFECT, and show will be brilliant.

So I did my best to make myself look punk - I even practiced last night - however - when I proudly showed my work to my friends they said "oh you look like a fairy princess."  Hrmmmmm - not what I was going for but hey...

Anyhoo - I woke up early to sign in - I got there - and there were a bunch of mean girls there who refused to start a list - and insisted if I want to be on the list I would have to wait until the monitor came, which would mean I'd have a hard time making it to yoda's class - which was the only class I would be able to take since I was helping Reinking move.  Especially silly about this was there were THREE of us.  THREE!  I mean- for PETE'S SAKE! It wasn't like there were hundreds - just start a damn list!  If they were seeing non-equity - all three of us would get seen!  GAH!  At any rate, the monitor came, and I raced to Yoda's class - where all of the famous people from ABT were taking class as well.  YAY inferiority complex.  But it is also awesome to be able to take class with them.

Then I went to help Reinking move - which - is very exhausting - esp. since the apt. she was moving FROM was a walk up - so my body is very sore.  But I got to hang out with cool people which as fun.  But I was so exhausted I couldnt take evening class - I just went home - finished taxes, and let my brain turn to muck.

Well - almost much - Adam Lambert on American Idol is simply mind blowing.  How is it possible for anyone to be that good?  Good?  I mean AMAZING!

I also learned I had been spelling encyclopaedia incorrectly.

And I'm now watching The Daily Show where John Stewart is comparing Obama to Superman and Bond, and contemplating why on earth the Irish would want St. Patrick's Day to be turned to potato day - (apparently the Irish want this because it is more politically correct - John Stewart disagrees.)  And whilst talking about John Stewart, I read that a space probe might be named after Stephen Colbert - which I find funny - and odd - and a bit envious -

Well - I'm exhausted and auditioning for the Met again tomorrow - which is an entirely quixotic endeavour - since I'm NEVER kept at dance calls and they really don't like me at the Met - but hey - into the fire...onward - hoooooooooooo!:)

PS - in the end - I got a text from a friend who was at the American Idiot call - who was gonna let me know how the call was going whilst I helped Reinking move - AKA - let me know when I should head back to the audition building - that said non-equities weren't being seen.  Big sad face. But hey - I still looked like a fairy princess!:)
