New favorite thing ever....
(and those of you who know me WAY to well, aren't going to be surprised at with it start with...)
dark chocolate covered almonds.
they are bomb, duh. And as a result...I've eaten far too many for the moment. trust me, I can feel it.
I found a moment in this very very busy month that is February to write and update people a bit.
My mom came up to Seattle to spend the weekend with me and Michelle. It was her birthday on Sunday and so we went to go see PNB's Romeo and Juliette Saturday evening. Breath taking, heart breaking. PNB really has some absolutely incredible dancers. The end was so tragic, as dear Billy Shakespeare intended. It was also the west coast premiere of the contemporary version on Romeo and Juliette. At first I was a little disappointed I wasn't going to get to get to see the traditional balcony season (like the one Julie Kent and Ethan Stifle do in Center Stage) but I really believe the contemporary version was much much more powerful. It also used the role of Friar Laurence as a sort of metaphoric/foreshadowing way, and embodies the physicgical stress/tension/pain or whatever you want to call it, of the situation. Olivier Wevers did a GREAT job with the role...plus he's a hottie (and for the record..so was romeo) =]
He did shave his head for his role. But thats okay. I got to hear him talk about his role and the ballet at the after show Q&A. He was pretty cool.
Yesterday was hectic. Saying goodbye to my Mom in the morning, work, rehearsal, and then the Alvin Ailey audition. I had a great time at the audition and it was probably my best audition to date and the one I've had the most fun at. I didn't get in (they called the lucky ones last night after the audition) but thats okay because I know I did really really well. People even told me they thought I was a shoe in after the audition, but no such luck. My friend Kate who also goes to Cornish did get in though. She deserves it and is way good too. so yay kate!
Today I only had Ballet and Pointe II class. Today and tomorrow are the Lighting Showings for the BFA concert. But none of mine pieces are being shown to the lighting designer until tomorrow. So I had a nice long break between classes. I all I have left today is to catch the shuttle to the main campus in an hour. sweet deal.
I'm in the middle of watching Everything Is Illuminated in my H&S class. I love it so far. I still can't believe Skyler said he didn't like that movie. But anyways, I'm on a quest to get the soundtrack.
whatelse...?/?
oh! songs to download if you don't have them already....
The Crane Wife 3 by The Decemberists
The Girl by Sia
Teddy Picker by Arctic Monkeys
Float on by Ben Lee (modest mouse cover)
There is a ton more I was going to talk about, but this has already been a fairly long post. I didn't even get to the bad stuff! haha. anyways.
Good day everyone!
