Oz

  Sorry for the lack of posts again! Now that it's Spring Break I have some time to actually post.
  Anyways, I saw an awesome movie last week. It was Oz The Great And Powerful! It was great! And powerful! :)
  Of course, the movie had its flaws. The fact that the ruby slippers couldn't be used (Disney didn't have the legal rights, or something) was slightly irritating, but understandable. I couldn't figure out why there wasn't a Good Witch of the South and Good Witch of the North. There was just Glinda. I guess she was both?
  Evanora and Theodora were pretty awesome. I liked Oz/Oscar/The Wizard. He was a bum. That was the whole point, I guess.
  I was a bit surprised that the movie didn't end with Oz going back to the real world (or whatever you want to consider "real"). That's how it was with Dorothy. Huh...
  It was a fun movie. It wasn't on the same par as Les Mis, but it was fun. It was cute. Everyone should see it.

The End of Carmen + Parsifal HD Broadcast

  Well, Carmen's done. :( We had the last performance last night. Me and the other kids in it had a ton of fun during the two hour break in between the scenes we sing in. We ate candy and watched The Lion King.
  Parsifal was broadcasted worldwide this afternoon! After I did my singing in the first act and came home, my parents and I listened to the rest of it. Whoa, it was long! But it was pretty awesome. The singing was really amazing.
  I got contact lenses! I've never been so happy in my life. For almost four years, I've been wearing my glasses to school and not wearing them to performances. Recently, I decided that my eyes really weren't doing so well, and since I wanted to be able to see better during the closing night of Carmen, I got contacts! They feel awesome! I wore them for about eighteen hours yesterday (my first day of wearing them.) I was supposed to start wearing them gradually, but I needed them for both school and the performance, so, you know...
  Since I had them in for so long, they were really dry when I tried to take them out, and they wouldn't come out. Here's what worked for me: dip your finger that you're going to take the contact out with in solution. It comes out really easily if you do that.
  So that's it. Bye for now!
