Hmmah. I want to see Salad tonight, but it'll be at least another week. We did monlogues today in Vocal Master Class, cause a theater-dept teacher is coming and helpin gus express. It was fun. He liked my discussion thingy. We all paired off to try and misunderstand what the monologue-speaker said, so he'd hae to be very clear and the point was to get frustrated. I did it quite easily. My song is Mean To Me, to which the lyrics are:
You're mean to me
Why
Must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
you love to see me cryin'.
I don;t know why, but I stay home
each night
when you say you'll phone
you don't
and I'm left alone, singing the blues and sighin'.
You treat me coldly, each day of the year
you always scold me whenever somebody is near
It must be great fun
being mean to me
You Shouldn't.
For can't you see
what you Mean to me?
Yes, and my person had a hard time coming up with ways to misunderstand the monologue I elaborated out of those lyrics. She made a really good dumb guy to be talking to, so it was easy for me to fume, which he liked. We had quite the lovers' quarrel. Heh. I like acting.
I drew some stuff today, but not a lot, and not very good. I'm reading a book called The Golden Key, collaborated on by three authors including Melanie Rawn of the Dragon Prince/Star trilogies (VERY good, but very epic). It's about a made-up world whose language is so close to Italian that I haven't had to look up any of the little culturally-enhancing words they stick in the vocab. Their society worships art and documents legal contracts with paintings, and there's one family who has a particular talent that gets all the jobs, also because they have magic (of course, it's a book). But there's a lot about the perfection and dedication of art, and it's amazing how much I can relate to those opressed girls who're wasting away or running away because they aren't allowed to paint. Not that I'm opressed, I just feel like if I were, I'd give up all kinds of political and social machinations (which I don't particularly admire or want at the moment anyway) for art. Random info of the day.
I really like my lj avatar, y'know that? I really do. It's rare for something of mine to stay good for over a month. I'm already cringing at most of the sketches in the books I got for Christmas. I'm not feeling particularly inspired. Everything I want to picture has to do with color, and I'm too lazy to mess with that right now. Maybe I'll write.
