So, went to the doctor today for a follow-up with my diabetes. Blood sugar's in great shape. On the other hand my face is a mess. One eye lid is red and puffy, my face is broken out (there's not enough make up in the world!). Diagnosis: allergies ( Read more... )

So, interestingly enough I decided to try this out this year. Of course, it's in November, when I'm moving and driving CrackVan. Oh well, it'll be an interesting month ( Read more... )

Okay, I know I'm getting paid to be stitch bitch (aka. wardrobe mistress) for Hair, but I'm not sure $500 is enough to deal with all the whining. One poor girl's costume came completely apart last night, not her fault. It's a really old dress and the stitching is equally old. Okay, no problem, I can just put it back together. Easy job ( Read more... )

So I didn't get cast in Ragtime. :( I'm over that and I'm am singing the show from the orchestra pit. Now I don't mind being a soprano, really, I don't. In fact, I've always enjoyed it. But for crying out loud. Was it really necessary for the composer of this show to put in so many high A's and B's? I mean really. Almost every chorus song! Wait... ( Read more... )

So, last year I decided to start reading some of those classics that I never got around to in either high school or college. In high school, when I bothered to go, I was more interested in theater arts than anything else. And in college, I was a music and biology major. Yeah, I know, what a nerd. It was a lot of fun though ( Read more... )

So, while not much is happening on the legal front with my partner vs the diocese. Things are going well for us in general. We're both working at a tutoring center and she has been made Head Teacher. Very cool. She may even become Director of Education if we get enough students.That would be awesome. We plan to complete our credential work this ( Read more... )

Only two more to go. Last night was the community band and chorus concert. I'm in the band. I was happy with the whole concert. The chorus was good and the band sounded good. The only thing I just can't manage to play is "Sleigh Ride." It is so fast that by the time I figure out where we are it's over. Not really, I can read the music and sing it I ( Read more... )

First, thanks to St. Crispins for the wonderful Christmas icon ( Read more... )

So, the day before the big show and I've got a cold. I can barely talk, let alone sing. The prescription today is liquids and voice rest for me (at least we don't have rehearsal tonight). It's been a huge amount of work getting ready for this show; a fundraiser for ACLO. We do this every year and it's always fun but boy are we all glad when the ( Read more... )

Had rehearsal on Sunday for Broadway's Greatest Moments (don't remember which number this is). Now I have muscles complaining that I had forgotten I had. Dancing Queen! We're doing a medley from Mama Mia and the big number is Dancing Queen. Now my body is telling me that I'm not twenty anymore. Hmmm, would I really want to be twenty again? Nah. I'm ( Read more... )
