So today we had our third song presentations. AMAZING. Everyone was so good. Regina said it was the first time in her career that she's given everyone in one group an A. I'm so proyd of us! I can't wait for our Master Class, when we can just rock everything. Everyone's song was PERFECT for them, and it was just.. amazing. I missed a couple of songs ( Read more... )

You know one thing that I love about AMDA? People here get my jokes. It seems like something that would be inconsequential, but it's not. Like... Shiraz always got them. And that's really it. Other people, especially the other people I've dated, always took what I'd say way too personally, but never confront me about it until after the fact. Here ( Read more... )

Home again home again jiggety jog. I am reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day." Marti and I are going to see "The Lion King" this weekend (hopefully) unless of course my darling is in town in which case I'll probably be with him. Also Israel and I have been talking about getting together this weekend which would be SO nice because he and I haven't hung ( Read more... )

I'm in Baltimore. I am feeling better, not extraordinarily, but enough to mention, obviously. I saw Shiraz today. First time in a month--- it was just..absolutely great. I think that coming home was just good for me overall, really. The only thing is that my first instinct would be to run up and kiss him, but I can't 'cause I've got a virus. I have ( Read more... )

So okay, explanation. Monday I had been having pain in my hips but I didn't think anything of it, I figured I just slept on them in a weird way. Then Tuesday I woke up and my throat was sore and swollen again, and my neck was killing me. Also, my other joints were all hurting. I figured it was no big deal, really, that I was just having weird ( Read more... )

So...today was...special. I spent about four hours in the emergency room, but luckily Marti and Garrit were there, so it wasn't all terrible. In short... I feel better now. Time for bed.

Tomorrow I have a sub for tap. And there is a swarm of fruit flies invading my room. I meant to go to Barnes and Noble today and I didn't. I CAN'T WAIT to go home next weekend, I miss Shiraz SOO much!! I think I might ask Andre if I can sleep in Marti's bed tonight, 'cause the little flies bite. I'm hungry. Stream of consciousness. I read "Inherit ( Read more... )

So... today I saw "The Pillowman." It was absolutely amazing. I'm inclined to call it a work of beauty, but the thing is it's absolutely so dark and horrifying. But the word still seems suitable. The main character, Katurian, is being interrogated, in this totalitariain state, about his short stories, because the stories contain child killings ( Read more... )

Well this morning was...special. I got to sleep around 4 am, and then at 8:15 Marti called me. His grandmother died last night, and he'd been in Harlem with Nyk, and was just getting home. So we went to Starbuck's to let them know he wouldn't be working over the weekend and then we went to Penn where he got on a train and went home. The end for now ( Read more... )

I love AMDA. Everyone here is just so supportive. Even though really... we don't know each other all that well. I mean, at the end of the day I'd say that there are 2 people in the world who really 'know' me, Shiraz and Liz. But still everyone is so great no matter what. Even if it's a personal issue, not something professional. We're all here for ( Read more... )
