"Go through the king"
An interesting way to say "Take a deep breath and sing *through* the line, you idiots," but it worked nonetheless.
Choir was decent tonight. We picked up another tenor and another bass this week. We finally rehearsed "Their Sound is Gone Out", and I kicked butt, at least compared to the rest of the tenor section. I also kicked butt on "Let All The Angels" or whatever it's called, because, well, I can hit a high A in full voice, and enjoy it, too. It's funny, I was at first sort of scared about doing all the choruses in the second section because we didn't do them last time, but I'm familiar enough with the music and can sight-read well enough to handle it. Get it? Get it? I can handle Handel. Ha! I kill me.
This was also a food-and-socializing week, so I had some food and tried socializing. Of course, I have absolutely nothing in common with anyone in the choir, so I got to listen to everyone's stories about performing Verdi's Requiem last season.
I lifted weights after choir. I decided it's better for me to lift weights after choir late on Monday than to lift on Tuesday, since then my arm will be sore for playing volleyball on Wednesday.
Also, I'm thinking of going to see The King And I at the 5th Avenue Theater sometime this weekend, most likely either Friday night or sometime on Sunday. If anyone's interested in seeing it as well, let me know. I'm *definitely* going to see the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd, which is the next play in the queue.
Oh, and I finally bothered writing some words to Scutaro (to the tune of "Sussudio"), because, like, Marco Scutaro is awesome, and he deserves a song. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the original song on any of my tapes, so I can't quite tell if it scans the way I hear it in my head.
Also, Eli informs me that I am a Sea Slug.

King and I was pretty good, but not fabulous (in my opinion). Still worth seeing though. I'm *definately* looking forward to Sweeney Todd however :)
scanning is sometimes dangerous
"i lifted weights in choir".
i perked up... dude! multitasking! and then reread. :-(
