This was a good day! I had my most productive practice session since January. It felt so good to be in control of my own voice again. No sore throat, no stuffy nose, no itchy eyes...it was beautiful! It still isn't great, but I'm hoping that every day will be better. I might stand a chance at NATS after all.
We started singing through the chorus music for Dido today. There is much more chorus work than I thought. I'm not singing in the chorus but Dr. Holdhusen asked me to sit in and learn with the choir anyway. I don't really mind too much. As my recital gets closer I'll want more time to focus, but for now it isn't hurting me any. We've also been doing acting exercises during opera workshop. Those have been lots of fun. Dr. Gesteland still teaches me something new every time I work with her. I will miss taking lessons with her. I can only hope that I find another teacher that can guide me as well as she has.
MOVIE MONDAY!!!
So today isn't about a movie really. I want to talk about a new television series called
Game of Thrones.
Adrian bought the first season of the series and we've been slowing making our way through them. They are extremely violent, pornographic, and rather vile. But for some reason I can't stop watching. The things that happen on this show are just disgusting! All they do is kill each other. It is like watching a train wreck...over and over again. I find myself repulsed 85% of the time. But still I sit with my eyes wide and my stomach churning. Every now and again I tell Adrian that I don't want to watch anymore, but I don't do anything to remove myself from the situation. My obsessed revulsion of this show is reminiscent of the feelings I had for a little show called
Barney. No matter how much that dopey dinosaur creeped me out, I kept watching. So that's how it is.
Barney and
Game of Thrones are pretty much the same thing. Viewers Beware!
