Holla Boston

So, my friend Katie called today to say that she had reserved seats for us to see Susan Graham while I'm in Boston next weekend!! And I may stay long enough to see a concert Don Giovanni the next night. So that's awesome. I'm getting more and more excited about this trip. I've got several apartments lined up to go check out, so hopefully at least one group of strangers will let me move in with them. Cheritta from work said, "Well as long as you have your car you'll be fine." And I was like, "But I'm not taking my car! Eek! I have to find a place." Luckily, Katie's letting me stay at her place while I do my searching, and Megan will be back in town by the time I get back from the Berkshires, so I should get to see her before I fly back home on Monday morning. Really looking forward to this trip.

Also, my new voice teacher said that he would be out there teaching that weekend, so hopefully I can meet him before I actually move up there. I mean, I'm definitely going to BU, but it'd be nice to meet the man I'm studying with before my first lesson, haha. He seems like a really nice guy, from the handful of times I've spoken to him on the phone.

So yeah, I've got to go to a wedding this weekend featuring two people that I knew (but didn't really like) in middle school. The groom went to Asheville with Sara and Hannah, at least for a couple years. I think he transferred to USC eventually. Whatever. He's a bit of a douchebag, and the bride's an irritating heifer, so should be a great shindig! I'm only making a cameo at the reception - just long enough to have a glass of champagne and a piece of wedding cake. As the late, great Maria Callas once said, "Don't talk to me about rules, dear. Wherever I stay I make the goddam rules." I love being able to invoke my inner Diva when I need. ;)

(Callas also said, "I will not be sued! I have the voice of an angel!")


SO you know what? Here's my quote for all of posterity, "We've all got an inner diva - own it, bitches." Or how about, "Being a Diva means never having to say you're sorry." That's got a nice ring to it. I want that one on my tombstone. Viva La Callas.
