So...

This whole "post once a week" thing hasn't been working out so well.

In my defense, last week we started our daily rehearsals for the yearly January opera performance at my Uni. These rehearsals are five to six hours long, and have been starting late in the evening because the Spring semester courses for this year also started last week. Personally I think the timing/scheduling for everything could have worked out a lot better, but nobody ever asks the students about it, because it's not like we're the ones who are actually affected by everything.

This semester's opera has been both easier and harder than usual. It's been easier because it's Mozart, and timing-wise, there are large periods of time where people rotate on/off stage, so not everyone has to be on stage all the time. So there's a decent amount of downtime between times I'm actually singing, given that I'm only in the chorus this year.

On the other hand, since we're doing The Magic Flute, the chorus is only on stage 3 times, and all of them are at the end of each Act, so I get to spend roughly 45 minutes after the start of Act One doing nothing. And the same thing happens during Act Two except the chorus is on at the halfway point for a teen tiny period of time.

So, I'm frightfully bored when I'm not prepping to go on stage, and there's only so much homework one can do without access to hard copies of books that can't leave the library.

EDIT: And it's been use a long fucking day I can't spell. Also I'm about to punch a bitch because she won't shut the fuck up. I brought up a valid health concern about a business that allows smoking and she keeps say it's not a big deal. We're singers, it IS a BIG FUCKING DEAL.

 I find it oddly coincidental that the power at work just happened to go out right after I made that last post. Thank goodness it was only out for a minute or so.

Hopefully my apt didn't lose power as well.

I finally got bored enough to start culling my bookshelves on Saturday, then on Sunday I decided it was high time I got around to building the two bookcases my Mum bought me at the beginning of summer. Much cursing and furniture rearranging ensued, but I finally got everything sorted last night. I also took pictures because this is the first time in a long time that my room has been so decluttered. Also, I can't find a damn thing now, lol. But at least my room looks nice.

Beware: this is going to be insanely pic heavy.

I'm doing Christmas cards again this year, so let me know if you want one! Just leave a comment on this post, and the PM me your contact info here, or on LJ (same user name). If you want more info on the cards, here's the link to the card post I made on LJ.

Please let me know by December 13th!

Was February really the last time I posted here? I really need to consider linking this to my LJ and f-locking it so it looks active. Then again, I hardly post on LJ either....

Hmm... I seldom manage to post overhere on Dreamwidth. I really should learn how to do that nifty linking thingy that most people have already figured out.

Being a tour guide an old historic home on the seldom visited north-end of town has got to be one of the best possible jobs ever. Only had one tour yesterday, no tours so far today, I'm getting paid to sit here and surf the internet!

I love this job.

Making an entry because I just might be logging on more often.

There's still nothing to see though, so just keep moving.
