So I watched Sliding Doors last night. I think I'm in love with John Hannah in that movie. *sighs* Where can I get me a charming Scot?

Also, I have no breakfast food. So I can either get dressed, go to CVS and buy some oatmeal, or I can eat lentils with chorizo for breakfast. I'm thinking the former.

Calloo, callay, no work today!

If I ever did entry tags, the tag for this one would be "God, my voice is weird." Or also, "Terry kicked my butt on 'Ach, ich fuhl's today" and "On a roll of really productive voice lessons" and "Probably having voice lessons over 'winter break' because we have such great momentum right now ( Read more... )

I didn't get an audition at University of Houston. It stings, and I can't say that I don't care, but it wasn't high on my list, and the truth is, the more I think about it, the more I'm considering taking another year before grad school. Maybe even more than that ( Read more... )

Well, it's been over a week, and I guess I still haven't written about New York ( Read more... )

I think that my penchant for British detective novels may be getting a little out of hand. I just read the following in Elizabeth Peters' The Curse of the Pharaohs, the second Amelia Peabody mystery, which I am thoroughly enjoying ( Read more... )

I just went to Ann Taylor Loft because they were having a buy-one-get-one-free sale on sweaters, and I always need sweaters. Two cable knits, two cowl necks, one very cool claspy sweater and a pink t-shirt on final sale later, the guy at the cash register was like, do you want to save an extra 20% by opening an Ann Taylor Loft card? Why yes. Yes ( Read more... )

Wow...when I decided to go grocery shopping today, I obviously wasn't looking at what the weather would be like. I really don't want to drive in the snow, but there is no food in my apartment. Gahhh ( Read more... )

It's not that I'm discouraged by any feedback I get about my voice. It's just that I'm not interested. It's terrifying to me to think that I might actually not want to be an opera singer after all. In which case...what DO I want to do ( Read more... )
