there comes a time when one must bid farewell to the internet relics of yesteryear (i.e. livejournal) and create an identity for herself in unconquered territory. hello, blogspot. nice to meet you.
i sit just outside of my french film class that i ditched wednesday for some coffee and pleasant company. i can safely assume that as i make my way back into the front row my professor will give me the "why do you sit in the front row but skip class at least once a week?" look. i will respond with a glance that says "i am dedicated but flakey. i play the viola. what do you want?" it makes very little sense to miss this class as i love french film. in conclusion, i do not understand my own behavior. maybe i should enroll in a behavioral psychology class instead of more art history next semester....
ever a slave to stream-of-conciousness...and how! i stumbled upon my new favorite website in the research process for my latest and greatest public speaking presentation. (web gallery of art: check that shit out. it has lists upon lists of artists from medieval to romantic periods. i, for one, have a passionate, though ironic, love for the high renaissance. alas, i have found another great way to squander my time on the interwebs.) as a born-again art enthusiast, i chose to give my first informative speech on common misconceptions and lesser-known facts on michelangelo. michelangelo: wasn't really a painter!
michelangelo: wrote sonnets about homosexual love!
michelangelo: was a baller.
alas, the last fact is well known. my speech day is this coming wednesday so i have a considerable amount of time to hash over word order and phrase craftsmanship. hopefully i can out do the "this is how an engine works" "or why i like sports marketing" or, better yet, "things you did not know about the song 'let it be'" speeches from today. "let it be" - written by the beatles?!?! you don't say! basic public speaking fills me with joy.
our production of la boheme opens tonight and i am enlisting the help of the opera gods to ensure its' success. now that there are monitors in the pit, one can rest [relatively] assured that the orchestra and singers will be together. if only there were similar methods of assuring the orchestra would be together with itself. the best moment of rehearsal last night was definitely when our conductor earnestly requested the winds play one particular chord in tune. perfect.
now that i have pumped you, the reader, full of music ramblings i will part on this quotation from the ever dependable university of kentucky newspaper; " [La Boheme] is a shorter opera based on the musical 'RENT'...this is not like your average opera."
until we meet again, friends-
