Guess what? Don't listen to Marina, I AM a robot.

Aw, I love Ireland :) Someone take me back!

Don't quite understand what happened to the last 5 days, once again I blinked and missed them it seems....

2 weeks today it's Easter! What a BEAUTIFUL thought :) For once I don't feel like I'm in such a dull place - I have a job interview next week, got some REALLY surprising exam results, I'm engaged, I have my first work-free weekend in a year, and Hallam is sending me the FULL conductor scores for The Last 5 Years, Wicked, West Side Story....

Wow, he must really love me. (Evita moment, Ellingwoof)

This job interview is the news I'm most excited about :) They don't need me in the theatre part (sigh), but they've called me for interview next Thursday for a position in the ACTUAL hotel restaurant :O
POSH TIMES.

What else happened this week? Not a lot, I don't think. In Graphics we almost collapsed with laughter because poor ol' Lord Oli Abraham Emery thought Rule the World was by The Beatles....well, Abbi March Ellingwoof, Burty and myself almost didn't recover....

This links nicely to the next generic section of my Friday post: CHOIR TIMES.
I know every week I say 'ohh it was so bizarre we did this blah de blah insanity', but today it really WAS.
Mr Dr is SO stuck for repertoire, he chose this arrangement of Teddy Bear's Picnic where the basses (who always get the best lines!) get to go 'HAVE A BANANA'. Well, it's been quite a while since I last fell on the floor with amusement. Thanks for that, Ellingwoof...
As Ellen pointed out, the person who did the arrangement is ALSO alto-ist; what does everyone have against us?!?!?! Everyone always picks on the minorities.
In fact, Ellingwoof, Juliette (who stole the internet), Taz and I rewrote Man in the Mirror as our ARM (alto rights movement, led by Burty) anthem. I'd post the lyrics but Juliette has them...

So anyway, we're all singing this scary arrangement (marked 'mischieviously', no lie), and just to prove the scariness, Scott walked in halfway through and his face was an absolute picture at what he was hearing.
Mr Dr asked if we wanted to continue with it. No one wanted to. No surprise, really, I'll have nightmares...
Then we did Rule the World, where the altos get the melody of the chorus and frequent oo-ing. Flippin' heck.
I can't look at Ellingwoof at ALL when we do it.

Earlier I accidentally punched a wall (it was dark!) and now my hand REALLY hurts and it's all red and ouchful.
My Dad asked me what I was doing assaulting the walls of his house, and then said he blamed my friends for being such bad influences :')

I have The Beatles on. I've always appreciated them, but never really been a huge fan, until last weekend where my brother threw his entire collection at me so I could put them into iTunes. Some of their crazier stuff is GREAT :D

Join the All at Sea group on Facebook if you haven't already! 50 members in 24 hours, INSANE considering we haven't even done anything :)

This week, it's been exactly a year since Sweeeeeeeeeeney. Scary times.

But not as scary as that Teddy Bear's Picnic arrangement *shivers*....
