alto 2

Well - apparently I'm now singing Alto 2 - the LOWEST voice part - in Fiddler. Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - something seems amiss... However, I also only sing one song with the chorus (Possibly two - TRADITION and possibly Sabbath Prayer) - so it's not too bad - and it's good (if not incredibly frightening) for me to learn how to harmonize. Also, almost all my friends from Pinafore are altos (who are all very confused at why I've been places as alto 2 - but who cares) - so I get to hang out with them - which is nice - since as they say - I am a "big fancy lead" and normally get taken away. I was also told I was "delightful" as Tzeitel - so - hey - I guess I'm not sucking tooooo badly.

Also - the girl playing Chava - busted out her lunchbox - and guess what it was - A LITTLE MERMAID LUNCHBOX!!!!! AHHHHHH! She is just as obsessed as I am (possibly more so - but slightly less pro-active about it - meaning - she didn't go out and find a job where she could dress up as Ariel - or buy heelies - but she did buy an Ariel lunchbox - so - she is just fabulous!:)

Also - in ballet - Nancy came up to me and said "YOU'RE DOING IT!!!!!!" with a huge smile- not really sure what this meant EXACTLY - but I'm assuming it's good -t here was something I didn't normally - but should have - that I finally did! LOL! YAY BREAK THROUGHS!

I was not seen at South Pacific! SURPRISE! What ---- not seen at an equity call!? NEVER?!? I then went to Reinking's - where she made us some butter with grilled cheese (her roommate even came out and was like HOLY F*** who puts that much butter on bread - ever! lol. I asked her about AFTRA - she basically said she thought it would be a good idea if I truly felt I could get equity work. Esp. with the world the way it is now. She also just got cast in an episode of an HBO show - so - maybe she could help me get the required "extra work" -

In other news - I have rediscovered the animated movie of Anastasia - fabulous wonderful and happifying all around - and am reading Tevye the Dairy Man (what Fiddler is based on) and a Margaret Atwood novel called Oryx and Crake. I'm only a whopping two chapters in - so any preliminary judgements I have may be very far off - but it seems quite pretentious to me. Let me be vague and apocalyptic (Dystopia is a word they like to use when describing Atwood) and maybe people will think I'm super deep and talking to them on a deeper level than usual. Rolls eyes. But it is what BOOK CLUB is reading - so ...yeah...

Also - Kat and Cara seem to be having a bizarre fight over their goodbye parties. I have no idea what is going on - but suddenly Cara has decided she in incredibly uncomfortable at our get togethers - and doesn't want to come over - she would rather go "get a drink" - and listed off a whole bunch of names I've never even heard of as guests. "Stewpawnie?" Who names their kid Stewpawnie? Or who is stewpawnie a nickname for? I'm so confused - and Kat wants to go bowling - which is apparently something Cara does not want to do - because she can't invite people like this mysterious Stewpawnie. Why does this Stewpawnie not like to bowl? Why have I never even heard of this person before that is so important? And - why am I the party planner making all the reservations? HAHA! In my COPIOUS amounts of free time! LOL! The best part is - I can't even GO because I got called in to work a last minute birthday party - some little kid needs Belle (Beauty and the Beast) and I need to be there! IN HOBOKEN! BLAH!

Well - I may soon be making $10 a SHOW! WHOAH! If Phantom ever calls me back! LOL! Then who will need the pretty princess gig!? lol. Sigh - if only --- the REAL Phantom would call!

But for now - there is work to be done! Gotta work on being a leading lady - gotta work on harmonizing - gotta work on belting - gotta work on picking up choreography - and THEATRE choreography - have to never eat Reinkings butter with grilled cheeses again - and - still find time to watch the Olympics!:) And though I have MILES to go - I do in fact - need to sleep.
