Warning: Potentially sacrilegious post. Blame my subconscious.

I often have dreams about kids I don't have, popular fictional characters, and even famous historical characters. But the other night, I had a dream about the Big Guy:

It also involved you, so I had to share. :-D

So my alma mater was performing an Easter concert at a church. Since I didn't know whether I was supposed to be playing in the orchestra or singing in the choir, I was just kind of hanging around in the back. Suddenly, in the middle of the concert, gasps started rippling through the crowd. I looked over...

and JESUS was sitting in the middle of the crowd! And he was clapping and singing along with the music!! It was weird because of course, everyone was really happy about it, but more like a "Hooray, Jesus made it here; now the party's gonna get aaaaaawesome!" kind of way. People were high-fiving and clapping along with Jesus, who seemed to be having a really good time.

But woe unto those fools who clap in between movements.

 Naturally, I was super excited about this, so I ran home, threw on my choir dress, and made it back in time to sing the last song.

Now, what would a normal person do after taking part in a concert that Jesus attended? I think most people would try to get an autograph or something. But evidently, that's not my style, because as soon as the applause died down, I pulled out a camera and started to make a Vlog. For you, on this blog. This post was going to be the best, ground-breakingest thing ever!!




...And then I woke up to Oscar smacking my face and sqwuaking for breakfast. Thanks, kid, because now I'll never know what it's like to have the Most-Viewed Web Page Ever. But anyways, I hope you're flattered to know that my subconscious would rather give you a stellar post than shake Jesus' hand.

Is anybody else having weird dreams these days?

My Beautiful Costume!

For the past couple weeks, every Tuesday and Thursday night has been devoted to standing around on stage acting in the opera Rigoletto. I'm a "super", which means that I'm not actually singing in this production. I cannot tell you what glee it brings to my heart when me and my fellow female supers are addressed as "Super Women". YEAH!

This week has been dress rehearsal week, so I thought it would be appropriate to get a couple pictures of the dress:

DANG. This is definitely the best part of being in an opera!

I am the only female in the entire cast that got out of wearing a wig because my hair was already what they had in mind-- long and curly. Score! And look at all that makeup! It looks good on stage, but is pretty scary close-up!

Well, I should probably get some beauty sleep. Gotta keep looking good for all that acting, you know. ;-)

Movin' On Up!

I have a new job!

Or at least, for a trial period. But I'm pretty confident that they'll see what an awesome employee I am, and keep me on.

I'm excited because it's actually a job in my field. Not a glamorous job, mind you, or even my ultimate job goal, which is being a professional violinist/violin teacher. This is a secretarial job for a large musical instrument and supply store. But, it's a step closer to where I need to be, and for goodness' sake, I won't be slicing ham all day anymore. Hooray!
