REAL LIFE UPDATE, OMG

David is living with me. Finally. We made our 5 and a half year mark on Thursday, if you count from when I asked him to the prom. Which we do. Even though we weren't official until Tim asked us if we were, three months later, and then we awkwardly discussed it and decided we should be, god we were so awkward lol. did I say were?

At least until the end of October... hopefully he will have found a new job by then, and HOPEFULLY it will be one that he can stay living here. So far it's been wonderful even though it's been less than a week, but it's a real relief to finally be living together. It also helps that we have two rooms, so we have our space if we need it.

In other news, I need to get my ass in gear for the school year. They're doing Cosi Fan Tutte this year, and I want to be Despina SOOOO BAAAD. The girl is nuts. She's great.

I'm singing "In uomini" and "Mein Herr Marquis," the latter in English because they're doing Fledermaus in English. I doubt I have a shot at Adele; my high chops are OKAY but I'm sure others are better. I'm hoping I can laugh hard enough in it, though, so that they can see how ZANY I can be for Despina. 8D

I wonder how much of a shot I'll have for Despina. a) I finished my undergrad there. b) I'm also a new student, technically, since it's a new program. c) I'm also a master's student. ....I don't know what all of this will boil down to, when it comes to picking and choosing based on seniority.

In OTHER other news, Hildegard Behrens died!??? The hell.

Just saw it on operasingers, confirmed on wiki. Also, why does wiki have a separate category for cardiovascular disease-related deaths in Japan?

must resist Kira joke

...must resist Kira/Wagner joke

Hokay, off to fill in the English words to Mein Herr Marquis since I only have the German version.
