"Money makes the world go 'round" or so I hear
Constant 75-90 degree heat, constant need for air conditioning, and boredom. It is without a doubt the summer of 2010.
So since the semester ended, I have spent most of my time working at my church job, which is now on summer vacation; at home willingly doing random household chores or being a couch potato while watching TV and movies; or hanging with friends. I don't think I have had this much free time since the summer before Hurricane Katrina. My only problem with my free time is that I don't feel like I have earned the right to do nothing. Here are my arguments for both sides:
- I feel that I have earned the right to relax and enjoy the summer because this past semester has been one of the busiest 5 months of my life (Verdi Requiem, Pirates of Penzance, Wagner's Flying Dutchman, Brahms Requiem, Carmina Burana, Mozart Requiem, L'enfant et les sortiléges, add Duruflé Requiem in addition to classes finals and juries). I also have not left New Orleans for a real vacation since I graduated high school. I'm going kind of crazy not having a vacation.
- I don't deserve this free time because I am moving into an apartment in less than a month, and I have to pay for rent. This means I need a job because I also need to pay for things like food, electricity, and other random things I like to buy (clothes, music, etc). So I don't want to be constantly spending money with no money coming in. I feel bad doing that, plus I know my parents are thinking I'm really lazy. I feel like I am just waiting for all money to be gone.
As you can see, I'm sort of at a stalemate. So, I'm trying to make my summer worthwhile by doing housework, practicing, swimming, working out (sometimes) and trying to spend as little money as possible.
Can you believe it's been almost exactly 3 whole months since my last post? Damn.

Lady Gaga sings "Stand By Me." This is probably my most favorite song from my younger years, and the fact that Gaga sticks to the originality of the song make it so much better.

I NEED IT
This started off as just a little joke between friends. Go watch how spongebob says it. That's how we mean it when we say it.
Right now, it's totally different. Right now I need results. I need my body to stop putting up retarded barriers keeping me from where I need to be. Coming from a musician, this sounds stupid, but this is my whole life. My body is my instrument, and that is what makes the music. But right now, it's not allowing me to be where I need to or want to be. Depending on the point of view, the choice is different. In my view, I need it. Metaphorically speaking, I need all of this work I'm putting into beating Bowser to WORK(!!!) so that I save Princess Peach and win the game. I need to win something right now because I feel like I keep coming up to Bowser, losing, and starting all over to try to beat him again. I'm getting nowhere! God, Buddha, somebody, can you please give me something? I need it for my sanity. I need to know that I'm not wasting my time. I need to know that all of my work and effort going towards something. I need to know that I'm not wrong about my future and my life because if I am, then everything that defines who I am will all be a LIE. And THAT CANNOT HAPPEN, or I will come up there and put the hurt on somebody something fierce. You have not seen the wrath of Jody fucking Hinkley.
I need something: maybe some kind of growth, a sign saying I am doing the right thing and am heading the right way, something to tell me I'm not wasting my life away.
Also, would it be too much to ask that you don't shove other people's wonderful talents and successes in my face? I don't do it to you. I don't need to know that someone who doesn't show up to class half the time is doing better than me in that same class. I don't need other musicians' complicated performance-ready music blaring through the walls as I try to put together a song. That's like a couple rubbing their relationship and PDA's in their single friends' faces. Not cool. And I definitely don't need someone less experienced, less knowledgeable, less musical, and less musically emotional than me doing what I have been striving for and working on for more than 2 years. That would bring out the wrath of Jody fucking Hinkley. Don't blame me when that person ends up dead because I asked you nicely and you decided it wasn't good enough. It's your fault that person is dead or permanently injured in some way, shape or form. You only think I'm kidding...

Waiting sucks
Yeah. The title says it all. Waiting for audition results are probably the worst. Unfortunately, I have 2 auditions this week. Thankfully (after some painful waiting of a day and a half), I got the results of one audition about 30 minutes ago. My next audition is Thursday, and I have no idea when I'll hear the results about that. So I wait again...
Mardi Gras 2010 season has started up again. So excited!! I go to the Eros ball this Friday! My parade or the parade I'm riding in, THOTH, is on Sunday February 14th this year. I'll let you know the details when I hear them.
Also, Pirates of Penzance at Loyola University of New Orleans is set for Friday February 5th and Saturday February 6th at 7:30pm in Roussel Hall. Check out the Loyola website for ticket information HERE.

Metaphors for Christmas
I hope you can follow my metaphor for dating.
Apparently, I am a window shopper. There's no problem in looking around to see what's out there. I realized last night as I was out on the town having fun with my friends that I am tired of it. That is as far as I have been able to get to the items for sale. Also, I found that I've kind of been forced into window shopping. I have barely had enough time to window shop as I go from class to class, class to rehearsal, rehearsal to work, and work to my dorm room. School has kept my in this little bubble, ad the bubble has the smallest amount of window shopping. It's kind of ridiculous. So, it's winter break. I'm thinking of winter break as my metaphorical gift card to actually do some legit shopping. Hopefully, I'll find something that I like and works with/for me. [Hopefully, any part of this plan will actually pan out.]
Ok. Now for some Christmas ranting. It just turned Christmas Eve about 15 minutes ago. I did most of my necessary Christmas shopping on 2 days ago. Apparently, I am the only one in my household who has the time to go Christmas shopping because my gifts, the ones that I bought and wrapped myself, are the only ones under the tree. Even though a little part of me is disappointed, I'm not complaining that I won't have Christmas gifts. There are those out there who can't afford gifts for Christmas. Plus, that's not what Christmas is about (I'll come back to this in a bit). But since I'm in the mood, I'm going to bitch a little bit. How have I, the full-time music student who is plagued with classes and a part-time job, able to do my shopping, while my parents, who I KNOW have time in their schedules to think about me or the rest of our immediate family, haven't really done much other than work and be political socialites at Christmas parties? It blows my mind. Really. This is the conversation I had my my dad THIS afternoon TODAY:
Dad- "So what should I get your mom for Christmas?" Blah blah blah "She like Jean Therapy, right?"
Me- "Yeah. I guess."
Dad- "So what time are you getting up tomorrow?"
Me - "Probably noon. Why?"
Dad-"What time does the mall open?"
Me- "I don't know. Are you telling me I have to go back to the mall (also known as Hell) for you?"
The rest of the conversation isn't important.
Oh, and another thing. I have to sing (what I call work) Christmas Eve midnight mass and Christmas morning 11AM mass which throws off any Christmas family plans that were made. Work on Christmas day is going to make me about an hour late for Christmas lunch/dinner, and my family is full of fat and innerly-fat people. They won't wait on little old me. They have never waited on the others who were late. I asked my parents when we were going over to my grandparents house for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner and opening gifts family time. Their response was like this: "Oh. I don't know. Are we doing that? I thought we were spending quality-Jody time." Although, I'm glad they want to spend time with me, I'm not okay with breaking our traditional family time.
All of this shitty stress is bringing me down. Do you get why I have kind of lost my Christmas spirit? I just hope everything comes together, even if it is last minute. I hope that, in general, things get better. Life needs to be better. I'm on freaking winter break for God's sake! At least the one constant in my life right now is that my time spent with friends have been great. [I hope I didn't just jinx that.]

This is a clip of a bootleg that I found of a scene from [Title of Show] that I had never heard or seen before. My favorite part is the Sutton Foster cameo. Hilarious! Watch and enjoy!

I'll be home for Christmas...
So, I finished my last final this morning, and I'm officially home for the holidays. Right now, I'm sitting on my couch in my room sipping hot chocolate. So far what I have done today is unpack my stuff (which was a lot of stuff. I need to fix my overpacking problem), get Subway, buy hot chocolate, and sit on my couch and watch TV. It has been a beautiful afternoon and night!
Now, I get to wait for my grades. This semester went much better than the others, btw. Now I just need the grades to prove it.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, I think. I need to go Christmas shopping. There's Saints have a game tomorrow night, and I think my family will be pre-gaming and tailgating all afternoon for it. So, it will be a long day.
Yeah. This was a short one.

This Sutton Foster and Marc Kudish with the original Broadway cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie performing "The Speed Test." This is probably one of the hardest musical numbers of the show. Tapping always complicates life. Enjoy!

So it's flooding...
Saturday 6:00PM
My suitemate/roommate and his girlfriend are presently going at it in the next room. His bed is directly next to mine with the only barrier being the wall. I have to say, they are pretty vocal about it. They don't really hold back much, or at least she doesn't.
7:30PM
I just got out the shower. I had to run through the pouring rain to bring something to a friend, so I thought a shower would make me feel better and keep me healthy. Oh geez! I literally just sneezed after typing that. Talk about a coincidence.
Monday 10:45PM
It's raining yet again. As if it didn't rain (and flood) enough this weekend. My Theory 3 cognitive exam went so much easier than I thought it would've been. It was probably those 4-5 hours studying in the library. Tomorrow is my Theory 3 musicianship exam, which I'm a little worried about, but only because my nerves will get in the way of my knowledge and my testing, just like the last 2 finals. What I'm most nervous and anxious about is my voice jury. I'm not at my vocal best in the morning, which is when my jury is scheduled. I practiced for about 2 hours tonight, and I felt very confident afterwards. So, I'm thinking I'll be alright. I just want to show them my best and that I am better than they perceive.
It's times like these that remind me that singing is what I want to do for the rest of my life. The anxiousness, nervousness, the want to inspire, the want to show what you have and can do.
I have grown so much this semester. Dreux better give me an A for my progress grade this semester. I know I've grown so much. I have so much more that I am striving for and to do. So many ways I can picture my future.

Oh so, I just realized I accidentally posted the same video twice on my last blog post, so I just went back and fixed it. Go watch and enjoy!

Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen?!
This is another amazingly adorable video that my roommate found.
Now for a video with some music! I can't embed this video, so you have to go the link HERE This is a scene from the movie Love Actually. Watch this girl sing! The black teacher can blow too. Look for it.
Ok. This is the last video for this post. I promise. This is Hadley Fraser singing "Again" at one of Scott Alan's concerts in Los Angeles. This is the same guy that is featured on the CD Keys: the Music of Scott Alan. This is so freaking good. This song probably touches my heart the most. The singing, the music, the message of wanting of someone who you can't have, and most of all the high A!

Now for a video with some music! I can't embed this video, so you have to go the link HERE This is a scene from the movie Love Actually. Watch this girl sing! The black teacher can blow too. Look for it.
Ok. This is the last video for this post. I promise. This is Hadley Fraser singing "Again" at one of Scott Alan's concerts in Los Angeles. This is the same guy that is featured on the CD Keys: the Music of Scott Alan. This is so freaking good. This song probably touches my heart the most. The singing, the music, the message of wanting of someone who you can't have, and most of all the high A!
BAM!!
