Drive-by Post

Been a little while since I had a real update post, huh? Life has been... well. Life. *shrugs* Keeping busy, no real complaints. Major moments? I went to the League of Broadway Super Friends concert at Le Poisson Rouge on June 7th and fell in love. Gavin Creel is always wonderful and I'll probably watch him in, well... anything. I expected to love Sherie Renee Scott and Kelli O'Hara, always have liked them, anyway, and I knew that Greg Naughton was Kelli O'Hara's husband. The only person on that stage that was an unknown quantity was Lindsay Mendez. Oh. My. G-d. O_O WHERE HAS HER VOICE BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? She has this unbelievable jazzy/soul type quality and she sings the hell out of everything. People just don't sing like that anymore. It's impossible not to get completely absorbed in everything she sings. And it's not just her voice. She puts her entire body and facial expression into everything. She's so much fun to watch! I'm rapidly becoming obsessed with her rendition of "Freedom of the Road".

( Here. Have an embedded video. ^_^ )

You see what I mean?? *_* Love. Her. There are 7 more videos on her Vimeo Channel. Go watch all of them. They're all fantastic. *_*

In other news... somehow I've been tricked into writing Book of Mormon slash. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but I'm pretty sure it's zoicite's fault somehow. *pause* Have you noticed lately that all the fics I'm writing are someone else's fault? Huh. Funny, that. Well. Except for the Claude-and-Berger-in-their-mid-40s-overheated-apartment-sex that I'm writing. I blame myself completely for that one. ^________________^

Oh, and last but not least... my June Concert for chorale is tonight and I'm singing my first real solo ever!! (It's parts of "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera, BTW. *_*) And I just found out that I get to reprise it for tomorrow's Bay S. Arts Festival. So. Psyched!! :D :D

Later, dudes!
