Back to school tomorrow
Yay! I can finally have a life again! Went back to SC over the weekend. Tom is alert, talking, and trying to escape. He's also calling the nurse a 'bitch.' It's nice to have hm back to normal (for the most part, he's still a little loopy from coming off the morphine, and he's withdrawing from smoking and drinking).
For our final in the Musical Production class, we have a small written part (25%) and a performance grade (75%). For the performance, we have to pick a song from a musical and perform it onstage before the class. Elizabeth and I are doing the title song from The Phantom of the Opera. She damn well better play 'Christine' one day. She's only seventeen and she's got the voice for it and she's a better actress than Sarah Brightman (notorious for her bugged-out eyes; look her up on Google). the only part that sucks is...me. I'm perfectly fine singing tenor (not all that easy for a bass/baritone) until i get to a high G that 'the Phantom' sings in his first verse. Everything else I sing fine (which means I'm working on making it sound less painful). I'm sure that within the last few weeks until the final that I'll improve my voice and do wonderfully. I already know Elizabeth will. The part was actually written in her range. i rehearsed Friday afternoon and started reaching the note, so hopefully in a few days I'll have it right. All I need to do now is get the karaoke CD to the show or at least that particular track from the CD (I hate using voice reduction, even if the orchestrations are better on the original CD).
I downloaded Monopoly and Operation for my cell phone over the weekend. They're a lot more fun than the little game that came with the phone. I'm still waiting for a Clue(do) and Clue(do) (S)FX game that works on my phone (LG 1300). I've seen both of them available (and the (S)FX one looks awesome! Almost like the quality of a game for the GBA system) but they don't work on my phone (yet, the website says that they'll be adding new models soon, so i can keep hoping for one to work on mine).
