I love him. I hope we get married one day. I know that's silly and I'm too young and all that jazz, but he couldn't be more perfect. I just want to be married to him and make him happy forever.

Hehehehehe

Leaving the nest

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 23:30:58 GMT

There were days when the buds of virgin freedom tasted like drops of cool water, or felt like warm clover beneath our bare feet. Clovered summers were our addiction. Oh, we survived on a mix of unbridled passion and ignorance, and our fathers' dull realities filled our lungs only to be pushed out in a whoosh of naked, breathless excitement! Who could cling to the edge of moderation with the glory of Idealism, like a canyon, stretched before our bursting bodies? What choice had we but to jump into a chasm of hopeful dreams??

I've finally gotten sick. I think my body was just waiting for the right moment (like a week when I have 3 performances coming up plus finals and juries).

And airborne is pretty disgusting. I can't believe Jason likes this stuff.

So I really wanted to do Michelle Barlas's thing where you list things to people but don't identify who you're talking about, except I wanted it to be all good things and see if people could guess which good thing was about them.

But then I realized that there are quite a few people I have nothing good to say about. Or I have nothing to say about them at all.

And that would be akward.

So instead I'm writing another entry about nothing.

BREAKTHROUGH

I have to write this down so I don't forget.

B flat = soprano money note.

Juli Wood's theory on how to sing in your high voice register:
"Shark face": teeth bared, mouth open, jaw pushed back
back molars should be apart; feels like toothpicks are holding them up
vertical sound

Renee Fleming's similar theory, explained a little differently:
First of all, caricatures of opera singers are stereotypically pigeon-chested for a REASON. Keep your sternum high ALWAYS.
jaw "unhinges"
Imagine a "square" feeling going from the front of your mouth/lips to the back of your mouth
Almost a horizontal feeling instead of vertical. (But never spread, of course)

OOOOOH.

So my mouth should feel like
-------
l l
-------

instead of
---
l l
l l
l l
---

WOW.

So I tried it, and it really worked. Jason complained that I was being too loud... all the way from the sanctuary. He thought I was in the main hall... but I was really in the back room. Yay, resonance! So I HAVE to remember what that felt like so I can reproduce it for Juli Wood. Jason said it was beautiful and it sounded like I took all the air out of it.

Croc Hunter's Death

Please don't be fooled by hoax videos. The film footage of Steve Irwin's death has NOT been released, and the debate continues still today over whether or not it should be shown.

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27268264.shtml

I recently heard about an alleged video going around the net displaying footage of Steve Irwin's tragic death. People are saying the video shows him saying, "this is what you shouldn't do to a stingray" and also that he "pulls the barb out of his heart" before he dies. Blasphemy. Please let the man die with some honor and don't listen to these ridiculous rumors. He died doing what he loved, and that deserves respect from us-- even if we didn't like the man or appreciate his work.
