i haven't written in a long time. i'm just keeping this blog because it's nice to be able to look back and remember how i was at certain times in my life.
anyhow, i've graduated and i completed the year with quite a few interesting artistic experiences.
As You Like It
- the performance was awesome and we did very well. i managed to help krystle and aaron increase their chemistry and they even got a "woo!" from the audience when they had a moment.
- hira was amazing, as usual and got so many laughs. the best part as someone who really knew the play was seeing how she thought out her jokes and actions so they weren't just ways to make the audience laugh, but were well-thought out.
- everything pretty much worked out except they started the deer dance scene before the forest was transformed and karen and i had to do some improv to set up the forest correctly. =/ it was pretty obvious ("say, touchstone, let's set up a tree, shall we?") but we did what needed to be done.
- everyone did a great job. =)
Newspaper/Newsletter
- i'm quite glad that amanda and i were selected to do an edition of the newsletter which featured my dr.s recommendation on the front but it was even lovelier when oshaugh asked us to assist aaron with the last edition of the newspaper as well. unfortunately, i don't have a copy of it. =( it's one of the only copies of the cougar news i'm missing! i have almost all the issues that were distributed during my time at McNair so i'm upset that i don't have it. actually, i mgiht. i just can't find it.
Open Mic
- i felt like a jerk with three open mic performances, but i did it anyway. i performed "love ridden" with joelle zigman on piano , "the way i am" with marton to duet with me while joelle accompanied us, and "someone to watch over me" a cappella as the very last act (not counting jason guerette's encore performance)
- mr. delo loved my "someone to watch over me" and i'm glad i started my open mic career with an a cappella piece ("unconditional love" by cyndi lauper, shiina ringo's version) and ended it with one, both successful. he even encouraged mr. oshaugh to ask me to sing it for one of his classes. when i sang it for mr. o'shaughnessy, he liked it as well. =) so i am quite pleased.
Other News
- i had to sing "endless love" with mark at richard's b-day/graduation party, which i didn't have the most fun singing. it wasn't as bad as the "you'll be in my heart" incident, though, so it's okay. (sorry, mohindra, i love you, but it hurts to hear that song now.)
- i finally finished watching battle royale and kimi wa petto! i loved them both and i hope they can help inspire me someday (hopefully, sometime soon.)
i updated my deviantart with some of my photography so yay. =D
i've been having writer's block lately and it's so painful because i'm exploring all my options in life right now (my deferrment, urgent need for money, entire future, etc.) and i'm re-examining past relationships, current relationships, things i've done, etc., and i feel things...but can't write about them. i was trying to write a play based on my film noir (ish) art history short story, but that didn't work out.
oh well. but i'm working on a song and a t-shirt design. =D
speaking of art history, i got 5s on all my aps this year, so yay! art history, english lit, and...(surprise coming)...SPANISH all conquered! i was in total shock about the last one so when duke told me i had credit for spanish, i was ridiculously shocked.
anyway, i'm praying for inspiration and a job. well, i have a job. i guess i'm praying for a better job or at least more money.
