how lovely are the messengers
Leaving soon to drive an hour for all-state choir auditions, then coming back hopefully around four to make paper plate awards and head to the Arabian Nights cast party! Then, at long last, the complete madness of this month will finally be over and I can relax a little.

postmortem: arabian nights, round two
For the last two shows in which I participated, I always got into a funky sort of slump after the first performance. For whatever reason, I would always have an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm the first night but was rather gloomy for the next two. Wonder of wonders, Arabian Nights has been the thing to break my sullen tradition. We did some amazing warmup exercises and had a just about...

the sultan was wise and far-sighted...
Arabian Nights opened tonight! I must say, it was pretty fun. It was hard to relax because there was so much technical stuff to worry about, since my part requires slipping various garments on and off very quickly and not tripping over some very heavy black cloaks, but overall I had a very good time.

Sorry for getting all corny but my birthday makes me feel so giddy. This will sound strange but I feel more like I’m celebrating how great being fifteen was, rather than how great being...
