The old lady who stands to my left in Pinafore asked me why it always looked like I was daydreaming - I didn't realize I was so obvious about it...I guess it's exaggerated because - I can't look at the conductor, and by default the director who is next to the conductor, and I try not to look at her - because she has a habit of hitting my left arm and begging me to return her overdramatic facial expressions or complain about the wig she has to wear - which happens to be almost an exact replica of Ariel's in the Little Mermaid. I'm jealous of hers! Where I look like I escaped from SHOW BOAT! So - I have the girl to the right of me - and the sky...to look at - lol.
Meanwhile - a guy in Pinafore came up and said "I'm impressed by how much you know about Shakespeare - I don't know anyone who can talk about it like you." (duh.)
And then another girl and I had a beautiful conversation about Hinduism and it's different incarnations in India and South America. So I'm not too worried my brain has leaked out.
Too bad my gut is leaking out. All this singing means instead of taking three dance classes a day - I only take 1 - and instead of eating my healthy meals on time - i eat whatever is available at the theatre at 10 p.m. at night when I decide I can wait no longer for dinner. Tonight - we had a healthy main course of caramel corn, with a side of thin mint girlscout cookies. I feel like barfing just thinking about it. Damn opera singers - keeping caramel corn and thin mints around...dancers would never! LOL! So weird trying to belong to both worlds.
Kat and I had some really funny ideas for our Christmas c.d. we are attempting to make for fun today. We are rewriting the 12 days of Christmas. We were in Whole Foods - and apparenlty I laughed so loud it disturbed the other diners. It feels good to have my atomic laugh back.
I'm also reading a fantasy book - taking a break from the "random historical facts" genre - and reading about vampire hunters. It lacks - a lot - but is good brain candy for the time being.
Also - boo Sasha Cohen for dropping out of Skate America - I thought you were made of sterner stuff! I was so looking forward to seeing her new programs - she hasn't even announced the music yet! It makes you wonder...
Anyhow - I need sleep - it is a very valuable and treasured commodity nowadays - just like protein and vegetables! haha!
TWO WEEKS UNTIL SMOKED TURKEYS!
