Va tosca!

This month is the opening of Opera San Jose's Tosca in which I am singing the lead role: upperclass woman. 

Joking aside I love this company. I get a wig and somebody else does my makeup. 

I am in the process of sewing my costume for papagena. I was lurking ali-sun's facebook and have been making a simular dress for Magic Flute. 

Flute is such a crazy show. The plot is a bit confusing but thanks to a reduction of music and lines by my director the show will be pretty short. yet more confusing. 

whats a sweetheart?

A sweetheart is someone who buys you flowers on your first day of work when you're really nervous.

A sweetheart is someone who re-watches 30rock episodes so you can watch the old episodes.

A sweetheart is someone who lets you watch project runway and pretends to be interested.

A sweetheart is someone who will make you dinner with candles for no reason at all.

A sweetheart is someone who listens and takes you out to a fancy dinner for your birthday.

A sweetheart is someone you want to help every second because they help you so much.

A sweetheart is someone who loves you more without makeup.

A sweetheart is someone who gets excited about 2 for one coupons.

My sweetheart is wonderful.

Dali lama came for my birthday.

No, really. Today at San Jose State the Dali Lama is having an event in the event center. Yesterday there was an alice in chains concert and matt thought how funny it would be if one of there fans accidently purchased a ticket to see the Dali lama instead. The line at 9 this morning was insane! It was all the way down seventh!  

I'm really touched by the Dali's effort to come wish me a happy birthday, but I wish he remembered to hook me up with some tickets. Not like I could see him anyways though because I have work. YA! WORK! for OPERA SAN JOSE! in the chorus. 

what else do i get to do on my birthday? take 3 midterms! yeeeee!

Though I shouldn't complain, my friend rebecca made me brownies with sprinkles. which is so thoughtful and cute. I love that girl. 

I also love the Dali lama.  Just wish he would have thought through the whole ticket thing. next time Dali, next time.

random piano

definitley loved this random piano by the convention center. Wendy and I found it looking for the italian fest in SAN JO. food was pretty expensive so we went to pizza my heart. I love that Wendy so much. some people just get it, ya know? Thats Wendy.  The picAture on top there is me standing next to one of my future instruments. An instrument that is misunderstood and has so much character. 

affection.

So the first week of school was all of these emotions even though it was only three days. Well maybe mostly the one of the top right. Charles Le Brun aint so bad. Found this picture in My music history textbook. i honestly just put it on because i couldn't stop laughing at the first guy in the third row.
My class schedule? Speak and be Italian, learn and partake of Music history, sing and be amuzed/scared of archibeque in concert choir, Finally understand Theory 3A/B, Work on learning new music more quickly in Rep, Have fun with Mozart in Magic Flute, and of course study with one of my favorite ladies in the world Pro chinucknuck. She does not know that i secretly call her that in my mind.
Did I mention My fabulous reunion with an old and amazing friend? We went to Boston Market and looked through cds at rasputin and reminiced abbooout old times. That girl is an inspiration. She told me about some amazing new things as well. Definitley wanna do one of these walks.
Old friend, but a forever friend.
