Apr. 3rd, 2007 11:52 amIn between the revision and work, this week is going to be fun! I'm going to the theatre tonight (and Saturday, heh) with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nqdonne, and on Saturday night we're going to watch German films or something equally fun. So that's my cultural requirement for this month... hehe. And on Sunday I'm going Easter Egg hunting!! Hurrah!! Just hoping that little kids don't steal them before we find them...
Revision has been planned and I think will go OK... I'm looking forward to it in a strange, masochistic way. But I am aware that I almost never stick to revision plans and end up panicking, so in all probability that will happen this time, too.
In less serious news, I had a late night internet shopping binge last night. I've found some fantastic new sites, which I found via http://notcot.org (a great design site flagging up new and interesting things on the internet - it's updated every few hours). Anyway, one site is http://www.etsy.com. It's kinda like ebay for people who make things. There's some AMAZING stuff on there - I bought my friend a bag for her bday but there's so much I could have bought myself. I ended up buying two tshirts and a hoody from www.threadless.com. One tshirt says 'to err is human, to arr is pirate' and the other is a parody on the whole half full/half empty thing. The hoody has the Communist Party on it, which I fear is a bit of an old joke, but never mind... (famous communists, having a party...). I like hoodies. Mmm, warm. I also bought a tshirt with ninjas on a few days ago. Hurrah!
Also, hilarious!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W91sqAs-_-g Alanis Morrissette singing My Humps... She sounds strangely like Shakira in bits of it.

Stuff and whatnots
Feb. 6th, 2007 06:25 pmThe essay of doom finally got done, although some confusion over deadlines now means that I may not have had to stay up writing it yesterday, since apparently I can hand it in Friday after all. Still, I've printed now, so I think I might go give it in before my singing lesson tomorrow morning, just to be on the safe side. Wow, this week is complicated! Still, nqdonne and I went to see Children of Men, which was really really good, both the film and the chance to relax and chat and stuff :)
Now I'm just contemplating having another go at my Realism essay. It's one of those where I write a sentence, don't really like what I've written, and then spend hours procrastinating because I'm dissatisfied with the whole thing. But having got down to some serious work yesterday, I'm actually feeling quite good about it now, so maybe tonight will be a bit more successful. I bunked off Music Theatre rehearsals (managed to persuade them I'd lost my voice... go me with the acting skills!) so I feel I should do something constructive with the free time. I have a feeling it may involve sleeping, though.
Ooh, a couple of questions for anyone who has done drama-y stuff at all: do any of you know any good vocal exercises to help with voice projection? Because I'm now MD for the German play, I've been nominated to do a sort of vocal class thing tomorrow night.
I've also been told I have to go anyway, because apparently I'm crap at pronouncing umlauts... ah well. If that's the only thing wrong with my German, then I'm happy! Apparently, other than the umlaut thing, I could be German... wicked! I think the grammar mistakes would mark me out when I'm not reading lines though... hehe.
( And finally, something hilarious (and German related, heh) behind the cut... )
