nerd!

okay, i admit it, i'm a huge nerd, geek, dork, whatever. i can usually pretend i'm normal but then there's that random moment when i let something slip which reveals my nerdiness. it can be a huge turn off, especially when you're trying to impress people, especially if those people are your potential future supervisors! but it's then always nice to find out that the person is just as nerdy as you are, which is a huge relief. ok that's my rant of the day. nothing else new, except for my food poisoning/stomach flu issue. i need to get out of the house!!

Opera!

I've forgotten how much I love going to the opera. The last time I went was four years ago to see Baz Lurhman's La Boheme. And let me tell you, it was awesome! I mean, Baz Lurhman production, Puccini, LA BOHEME!! Anywho, The Marriage of Figaro was really good today. I guess I got sick of listening and playing Mozart that I never got to appreciate his larger and longer works. So I'm glad I went. The UCLA Opera is pretty impressive, some major talent. I realized that I tend to stop focusing on the staging after a while. I just focus on the music. And there's something about Mozart's music that just facilitates philosophical inquests in ones mind. I found myself thinking about so many things, some trivial, some profound. I like that about classical music, it makes you think. Or it helps you think. No wonder I did so well in high school: so much Mozart! Haha. Maybe I'll go listen to some symphonies and boost my IQ.
