So like, when did Johnny Depp get to be 46 years old??? He looks better than guys in their sweet, sweet 20's.

Go boy. Damn.

Tell me this doesn't sound like baby poo

Soooo, Aaron and I decided a couple days ago that tomorrow would be the perfect day to finally go make up for our sick, sad honeymoon!!! Well, it wasn't too sad, but omg we were SO sick.

So. We're going to Holiday World. In Santa Claus, Indiana.

Once there, I will ride http://www.holidayworld.com/rides/voyage until my head absolutely explodes, or I die. I'm so freaking excited. I can barely stand it. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Alrighties!!!

On performance nights when you can't be at the opera, you can watch them at this address :)

http://www.music.indiana.edu/iumusiclive/

I'll be singing Cleopatra in Handel's Giulio Cesare on February 28 at 8pm Eastern time, and again on February 6 at 8pm eastern time. If you're bored, grab some candy and a coke and have at some opera. Disclaimer: my boobs look awesome in my costumes.

Have a nice day!

Hahaha!

Random Hammond phone call to aaron: 985-507-8712. That is the most familiar number in the world to me... Who is it??? They yelled" Oh nononono" into his voicemail. Tell me whose number that is before I lose my marbles.

I ask you now and I'll never ask you again!

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:03:57 GMT

Hehee :) I know, about twice/year I ask for everyone's address.
I swear this is the last time I'll do it. Please send it to my email address:

jacquiebrecheen at yahoo dot com

Unless you know that I definitely already have you address, of course :)

I shall file it away permanently, and unless it changes, I'll have it indefinitely.

#1 pootertank. Seriously, that's the thing I miss most about LA. Driving around and seeing the #1 pootertank truck go by. It never failed to make me giggle.

Lookie how cute!

Wondering

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:52:55 GMT

I would like to do the Presentation of the Rose from Rosenkavalier and heard that it is sometimes done as a solo... But I can' find any Youtubes of anyone doing it solo, so can't figure out where exactly I'd start. Any of you singer musical types know? So pretty.

Two blocks from my house last night

I need y'all to call me tonight every so often. My phone is somewhere between here and the other apartment. And I'm sure aaron is worried, we haven't talked yet today!

985-981-2713. Call at will until I answer.

THANKS!

Make me go to the library and start my 6 day straight cramming session, please.

Make me call and set up my Adina coachings - this one's easier, so I suggest you go with it.

Make me go to work. Ack. Library kind of goes with this one since the buildings are right next to eachother.

If you get a few free minutes, read this.

Third sunday

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 03:52:45 GMT

saying good-bye. Sucked, but not so bad. Of course there was the crying, but I forced myself out to grocery shopping as SOON as he drove away so I could keep myself occupied instead of curling up on the floor with the dog and sobbing. Wanna hear something sweet and sickening? We created special Blood Elf characters in World of Warcraft that we only play together. So we can level together and do quests together. We can play our other characters whenever we want, but our blood elves only do stuff together. That way we don't have to sit on the phone and listen to eachother breathe while we're bored to death. We can talk while we play:) And the world of the blood elves is BEAUTIFUL. UGH! Tonight was our first adventure and it was a blast.

This week I have evenings free. Tuesday night I'm having some girls over to watch ducktales episodes. I'm gonna make crab and corn chowder and choco chip cookies. We're gonna wear jammies and talk about boys. I'm excited!!! They're good girls.

Apartment search is ongoing. I can get a much smaller, cheaper place now that it's just me and claude. Aaron can even take some furniture since his apartment is HUGE. There are entire empty rooms there... Like rooms that will be empty even when he gets furniture and stuff. So, when you come to visit, we might all be hanging in Louisville... You'll love it:) WAAAAY cooler than my place. So I've been looking at 1 br and bigger efficiency places. Kinda fun. Trying to stay under 400/mo.

Alright. Gotta go. BYE!

Much loves.

Brrrrrrrr!

It is COLD. Tuesday the high was 70-something and yesterday it SNOWED a little. WTF. Aaron and I always thought the weather in La was crazy, but it was just hot and sometimes rained for waaay too many days in a row. But HERE it is insane. You HAVE to check the weather everyday, and you have to look at the hourly forecast because it will probably not be the same for more than 2-3 hours at a time. BAH!

The bed is MUCH colder without aaron in it. He's like a kitty, he gets all hot when he sleeps. I'm like a turtle (I think...) I get cold when I sleep. So it works out great. But not anymore:( Maybe it's frogs that get cold in the shade... Whatever. You get the picture. I was cold under my down alternative comforter.

Yesterday was a MUCH better day. I went to class, then work, then came home and played with Claude for a few minutes. Then I proceeded to play video games (WOW and Zelda) for 6 hours with a break for lunch and another break for claude cuddles. It was a beautiful thing. Then I took claude for a COOOOLD walk. He loves the cold, of course. As do I, I just wasn't mentally of physically prepared for it yet. Then I pincurled my naps and went to rehearsal. They didn't make us practice the bows, so I got home before 10! Beautiful. Then Zac helped me do some quests in WOW and I went to bed.

Phone calls with aaron interspersed throughout the day. He's so good at his job. So organized. I'm SO proud of him.

Coffee coffee coffee coffee be-bop ba-doopy boop! You liked that, didn't you?

Well, off to opera lit. Tristan und Isolde today. Niccccccceee....

And any of you who ever call my cell and I don't answer, you can try the house phone. My phone is dead a LOT. 812-339-3606.

mucho amore. amor?

On my way to a quiz. When it's over, I'm going to play at least 3 hours of video games. Then I'll listen to some elixir. I can't practice out loud this week. Toooooooo much singing. Mi voce is actually tired! Not often does it happen here. I also laughed a lot in the dressing room last night. Yesterday was an AAAAAWFUL day. Maybe I'll bitch about it later. But I'm making today an amazing day to make up for it. Oh my, it was terrible. Short list:
Flashed an entire parking garage
Music blew away in the wind
Dropped books all over the place
Wore the most uncomfortable shoes ever
First bad lesson since I've been here
Late to rehearsal
Got rained on
stupid bad pincurls
Had to stay 3 hours to bow at the end of Butterfly.

I could embellish, but I don't feel like it.

Off to ace my quiz.

boop.

Waiting on my jeans to dry. At wendy's house. Then I'm going to the thee-ah-tuh. Excited. Then we're going hoin' around the honky tonk. Girls' night. Tony's at drill and aaron spent the day in Louisville looking for an apartment. Fun fun fun.

I just don't feel like exclaimation points. exclamation? Someone pleeze teech me hau to spel.

I curled my hair and I'm wearing makeup and I look cute. I found some plaid pants in wendy's goodwill pile and I totally ganked those bitches. I remember them vividly, and I'm happy that I can keep them. Cheryl, remember the blue boots with the silver stars? This ho is trying to say she's gonna give them away. But HOW cool and awesome would they be to pass down to one of her creative, yet-to-be-born little girls???? Hello? Tony even says she should keep them. They're part of her... Join me in telling her NO! KEEP THOSE BOOTS! There.

Wait, there were some exclamation points in there. That's okay, I feel passionately about those boots. It's so funny, taped up to the bottom of wendy's computer monitor is a nice picture of her sweet parents all dressed up and neat. And next to it is this crooked ass pickture of wendy all whored out in her bunny costume with a drink in her hand looking wasted, and she's hanging all over Tony who is wearing a nun costume and looking pretty feminine. It's hilarious. Those two pics, literally touching.

That's enough reflection for the night. I'm gonna go see if mis pantalones are dry. Ta-ta.

Loves.

Yay for me:)

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 01:32:21 GMT

I was cast along with Betsy Uschkrat as Adina in Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOO!!! I knew I sang well, but this is really a treat:)

But now I have a quiz to study for, a bunch of old music to re-memorize, and a summary to write. So I will go. BYE!

Loves.

See if this works! Go here!
