How to Train Your Dragon = AWESOME!!!!!

So I just went on a date...and it was so much fun!!!!!  We saw How to Train Your Dragon and I just absolutely LOVED it!!!  I already love vikings (cuz they're awesome...they're the school mascot for the high school in the book I'm writing...well, most of the time they are...it depends on which back story I'm using...but I'm getting off track) and I love fantasy and dragons and stuff like that.  If you're even THINKING about seeing this movie: GO SEE IT!!!!  I love it!  When the DVD comes out I am soooooooo buying a copy so I can see it over and over and over and over and OVER again!  It's so great!

I'd write more about the awesomeness that is How to Train Your Dragon, but I don't want to inadvertently spoil it for anyone (because you ARE going to see it) and I really need to get back to studying (big test tomorrow) so yeah, adios personas!

YAY!!! I finished it!!!!!!!!!!

Picasso's Three Musicians

Munch's Madonna

Lichtenstein's Girl with Ball

Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space

So this last week was overly busy...but now I'm done with it, and although I still have a million things to do, but the BIG one is over.  I've been working on this great project for my Art History class where I compare late 19th and early 20th century music and art.  Now, 20 pages and $50+ later...I'm DONE!!!!!  It's a total relief!  Now I have a paper, 5 concerts, juries, and finals.  But for right now, I think I'm going to take a nap!

Opera performance...it's gonna be AWESOME! (so come!)

So, my opera workshop class is putting on a showcase of a bunch of opera scenes.  I'm in one from La Bohème.  I'm playing the part of Musetta, a singer.  In the scene she walks in with her current beau, an old rich guy who'd do just about anything for her, and she wants to get her old beau, Marcello, to get jealous and fall in love with her again.  The fact that he never stopped being in love with her makes this rather easy.  She sings a song about how gorgeous she is and how everyone envies her beauty and voice and all around awesomeness!  So, I pretty much love the song!

This is the dress that I'm wearing in the scene.  We decided to take it into the 50s.  I starched up the dress so it looks a lot stiffer and crisper than this picture, and the bow looks a lot perkier.  I love it...and it fits me perfectly and, with my cream heels and pearls, looks TOTALLY 50s!

So, I'm really excited for this performance...and I want EVERYONE I know to come!!!!  It's really fun, and there are so many great singers in it...so really, please come!  Love you all!
