"Wenn ich tanzen will / dan tanz ich so wie's mir gefällt"
1. Hai, so I have essentially had breakfast - cereal - and it's now 7am. Except, DUH, I haven't gone to bed yet. Fail fail. Same goes for yesterday. It was a bit ridiculous, in fact, because I went to sleep at almost 9am and then got woken up by a phone call at quarter past. I DID think it felt like a ridiculously short time to be asleep... no wonder! It was a call from my boss, suggesting that I might want to go back to work for the day. Sigh. I sort of mumbled yes and fell asleep again, fully intending to just do so for an hour. That didn't work, of course, and next thing I knew it was almost 1pm and said boss had called back to say that all the work was done. (GOOD.)
2. So I took mirime out for Japanese at J8, came home and slept until dinner time - which was a crab dinner for everyone except me, as I was lazy and didn't feel like working my way through a crab pincer just to get at the (admittedly abundant) meat therein.
3. Spent the better part of a night trying to track an audio and not getting much out of it. I swear - if musical theatre EVER goes the route of the recent Tommy production in LA (piped into headphones), I might have to kill myself. Because even Alice freakin' Ripley couldn't sing above the orchestra, a lot of the time. *grumpy* I sure hope it sounded better live, because this audio occasionally makes me very very sad indeed.
4. I also be newly addicted, I think, to Elisabeth. *eek* This is all ENTIRELY lfae's fault. I've been listening to Wenn ich tanzen will (a song of epic epic AMAZINGNESS) a LOT since she introduced it to me a few weeks back. But it's suddenly hit me: I want MOAR. Check out its awesome:
This version has subtitles. In English! :D Not to mention the fact that it's freakin' sexy, plus Maya Hakvoort is singing, literally, with DEATH. Awesome!!
Great, musical theatre is EVIL. Now I want to learn German. Anyway. I have SOME Elisabeth crack just now - an audio recorded on Pia's birthday, and also the Elisabeth (Essen) cast recording. I'm asking the two crazy Elisabeth fans on my flist - Sal and sepulchralice - for help. Do you guys have the full English demo of Elisabeth? (Cat: a subtitled DVD?? *I say hopefully*) More Pia crack?
5. And I think that XF2 DOES indeed open here on 24 July, based on the 'coming soon' info on one of our local cinema websites. YAAAAAAY!! No waiting an extra week to flail!! ♥
