Last Saturday, I entered Mists Bardic, as I have for the past several years since I moved down here from Allyshia. Unlike the last several years, however, I did not dodge the responsibility-bullet in time ( Read more... )

Whoof, been a while since I updated this thing. Um, quick drive-by highlights from the last *eyes journal* eight months or so? Geez ( Read more... )

Mists Bardic was on Saturday. I competed, felt good about all of my performances, and still managed to dodge the responsibility-bullet - it hit Derile this year. Bwahahaha!

Some of you know (and others are finding out now) that this past Sunday I auditioned for Opera San José's 2010-11 chorus. Woohoo! Go, me!
