Aria Concert One Month Away!!!

For those of you who don't know, I am singing a solo with the college orchestra on March 1st in the Ragan Theater at 7:30 PM. I am really excited, but also very nervous. I am singing a beautiful aria from La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini (who composed many beautiful operas). I would love to see you there! In case you have never heard this song here is the best video I could find. It is an old school singer but it gets the point across. Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RM3T2fhFXFs
Also, this semester is my Junior Recital. I have two other friends that are having their recital as well. We are going to be billed as, "The Three Sopranos." This should be fun! I am singing a few difficult songs such as: The Jewel Song and The Flower Duet. I still have to pick out my other pieces. I will keep you posted on when this will be. Until I ramble again. . . . . . . .

American Idol

I hate to admit it but I have this pathetic weakness for the first few episodes of American Idol. I have been hopelessly addicted to it! I find it rather hilarious and intriguing. Let me know what you think about this season so far. Here is a link to youtube showing some of this seasons rejects. Man is it great!

CES 2007

Shawn and I skipped out on school for 2 days and went to CES this year. We were kind of bummed that it wasn't held on a weekend this year and were only able to go for one day, however, we did see a lot of cool things. I was the only girl that entered a contest to win a THX certified sound system. I had to play the NBA 2007 game on the PS3. I have never really played a Playstation and am not really good with game console controllers. I did really horrible on the practice round but when it came for my real score I think I did rather well. Also, I won a webcam at the Creative booth. It is only worth $30 but we are going to sell it to help go towards the cruise we are going on this summer. Finally, we ran into Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper at the Nikko booth. Nikko makes R2-D2 projector's (but they cost $2500!) I told Shawn he could make one of his own for that price. Anyway, that's all for now. TTFN.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Shawn and I are ringing in the New Year with my friend Mari and her husband. We are having fondue and Martinelli's and are going to play Apples to Apples. (Thanks Mom!) In case you are wondering what Apples to Apples is, go here: http://www.otb-games.com/showcase/apples.html

My New Blog

Hey y'all. I have decided it is time to have a place where I can express myself daily. However, I may not be able to post much due to my enslavement at Target. ;) In case I don't get a chance to post: MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!
