so, uh, just been rehearsing

and rehearsing and rehearsing some more lately. Man of La Mancha at Garland Civic Theatre. I'm extra hilarious and/or completely embarrassing if you're related to me. heh.

also, many, many opportunities to fall over. Like today...instead of a controlled fall backwards (from a kneeling position), I went all out and managed to scrape up my left arm pretty good.

and if you're in a praying mood....

please keep this guy and his family on your list.

and for my next project....

ok, not really. I'm still working on a baby blanket.

Sophie

and yes, her tongue hangs out almost all the time.

Armida...

I was thinking this was one my mom and I saw at Tulsa, but I only remember it gave me a headache. The Met HD broadcast however, did not. rather than go through stuff.. here's the ending. It gave me chills.





also, I'm really liking Lawrence Brownlee, he sang in the Cenerentola I saw a while back (another Rossini thing) so here's a duet.


really wish I could find the ballet, it was hilarious. They did a few dance moves that were, um, a bit unorthodox.

things to do today....

write letter to neighbor apologizing for any damage my dog may have caused in her house.

get allergy shot

drop off donations

rehearsal.


It's the first one that's going to be fun. Was taking the dogs for a walk, going out the garage door and dogs from across the alley were out. Roxie got away from me and got a hold of the bulldog (there was also a dachsund, but he was smart enough to not get within reach of my dogs). they wrestled a bit and wound up going through the doggie door and I waited a couple minutes until Roxie came out. Who knows what happened. Then Roxie took off to see the rest of the neighbors. I went ahead and took Sophie around the park and figured someone would have found Roxie by the time we got back, if she didn't find us first. Sure enough, there was a message from someone down the block. Everybody's home now.
