Life's A Musical

tabular_rasaI had a dream two nights ago that I was Eponine (again) in a high school performance-- I think it's because it's almost Musical time of year again, and I'm going through withdrawal (lol)-- and I seem to have internalized her because I keep singing everything from Les Miserables now. Her parts. All the freaking time.
. . . which means I'm getting better at them, but still. People look at you funny when you're just half-singing "On My Own" while walking down the hall-- every time you're walking down the hall . . .
At least I finished two more songs for my Les Miserables Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince parody musical while on this roll, lol . . .
. . . but Eponine's just depressing, really. She's never happy, and then, when she finally is, it's because she's dead and Marius is finally paying some freaking attention to her. I love tragedy and the whole story, but . . . I haven't really been in a tragic mood that I would need to internalize her, lol . . .
(Plus, the only recording I have to sing along with to is the Frances Ruffelle version, which I really don't like . . . )
Life is a musical. I've been possessed by Eponine, Lisa, Patricia, and I sing snatches of passages from Wicked on occasion (like after ice-skating, lol . . . ), everyone was singing "Masquerade" from Phantom of the Opera at the Masquerade, of course, and Keith's been steadily progressing through all of the songs from Phantom of the Opera as The Song Stuck In His Head For The Day since Lisa loaned him her Broadway cast recording of it, lol . . .
I guess I'll be prepared just in time to go home, lol . . .
In other news, Reading Week ROCKS!!! I like having all this time; all I have to do is the Introduction to East Asian Religions take-home examination, and study for the written portion half of the Japanese exam on Friday.
