| | I Cannot Tell What This Love May Be - Patience | ] | Today started out well enough. In fact, the whole day was pretty much just a WHOLE bunch of ups and downs.
Ema had her first private Japanese lesson at the Cathedral of Learning, so when she was done, I just met up with her there and then she drove me home. I hung out for a bit, and then we went to pick up Angel from the animal hospital. They gave us all of this stuff... that ended up being kind of useless. ._. Mem.
But... in a way, I'm glad we never had to use them. When Angel was suffering that much, the last thing she needed was a bunch of needles sticking in her when it wouldn't have even done anything anyway.
We were supposed to meet up with Bibs before his show, but since the doctors at the animal hospital took so long, Bibs ended up eating without us and the rest of us went to Panera for dins. We all shared truffles and then dropped Miki off at home. I accidentally kept forgetting to bring back her PSP, and she doesn't like Gilbert and Sullivan, really, so I'll bring it next weekend for her to play when she goes to see it.
The show itself was amazing. Although my taste for Theater has dropped, I will always love Gilbert and Sullivan, and Patience is my absolutely favorite of them all. Not only is the music great, but also its hilarious AND deals with a topic that still holds true, even here and now. For some reason, I'm not such a big fan of the "top 3" famous shows: HMS Pinafore, Mikado, and Pirates of Penzance. I think its because those shows deal more with the leads and their drama, which is fun in its own, but Patience is fun WHILE putting importance in the chorus AND the leads, so chorus isn't just added in because "you need one" but its actually important. Fwee.
Speaking of Mikado, that's the next show, and already I've had Sid and Guy try to recruit me already. I... am conflicted. The idea of being in another show leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but it's Gilbert and Sullivan! But I have to hold true to my not performing... but being in shows is fun!... but it's also a lot of work and I did not enjoy wearing those wigs one bit and will it BE WORTH IT?! I will think about it.
Bibsy did a great job, by the way. He has a pretty big part, really. He gets a lot of lines and solos, not to mention being in a sextet (I see you laughing; cut it out!) and a hilarious trio. He's really climbing up the ladder. I'm proud of him a lot, but in a way, I'm sad. He's progressed further than I ever will, I'm afraid. And my "classical voice" has probably regressed a lot by now. Oh well. I know my voice is still above the "normal" level on its own, and I'll definitely be able to make it to the chorus. But anyway, I've got my drums to be good at now, so its all toasty.
Anyway, I said hi to some familiar faces and we went home... and then Angel died. It still feels surreal, almost like it didn't happen. It will be weird not having her around. I miss her already. I spent some time in the basement with her after she died (wow, that sounds creepy) and I kept expecting to look over and see her moving about.
I played more Tales, and although Colter wasn't around, I sent a message to him relaying my own tales. And then MORE stupid things to happen to me: the game that I ordered for the 360 apparently, according to the package tracker, was delivered at 4:15 today... only I got that message at 11 and hadn't seen it. I was even home at that time, and there wasn't a knock at the door or anything. I'm not sure what happened. Maybe the neighbors have it? I emailed the place who sent it to me, and will hopefully get a response tomorrow, and when its light, I'll take a look around and see if I can find it and ask the neighbors if maybe they got it.
Mood whiplash. I'm pretty sure I could do without it.
Now time to give Honey and Blair lots and lots of pets. |
