Auditions

Let's see. I'm audition for Boise Baroque soon, so hopefully I'll be playing in there last concert of the season. That'll be fun and mildly profitable. Then I'm auditioning for the Philharmonic over the summer, that'll be more than mildly profitable. Very exciting.

Oddly, my roomate kind of left... abruptly... and I have only vague clues why. Fun! Now I have to find a new one or face moving back home.

Lately I've been obsessed with The Killers cover of the Dire Straits "Romeo and Juliet", also been examining other musical renditions of Romeo and Juliet, such as Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, etc. I thought it would have been neat if Wagner did a Romeo and Juliet, but then I realized he did, he just called it Tristan and Isolde.

Spring Break has mostly been me staying up until about 4:00. Strangely, I have the most energy past about 11:00. I worked with this guy who claimed to have a type of insomnia where he could sleep in the day, but not at night. I would say I might have this, but I suspect it's largely made up.
