So life has gotten better. Yes, I went to work for my mom. I have to get up really early. It's boring, and it's doing exactly what I didn't want to do (work like an accountant). The upside is that I have freedom to come in a little late and leave early so I can go home, get food, and go to rehearsal, which is technically, what I wanted. Also, I'm getting paid. Oh yeah! I get to listen to my own music all day. No radio, no soft rock, no bad popular music. I've listened to about 3 CDs a day. Monday it was Next to Normal, Patti Lupone Gypsy, and A Chorus Line. Tuesday was Spamalot, Dreamgirls, and In the Heights. Wednesday was Aida, Scott Alan's Dreaming Wide Awake, Scott Alan's Keys, Spring Awakening, and some other random 90s-present music on shuffle. Today's music was The Drowsy Chaperone, Company, and Il Divo (really random, I know). So I'm fairly happy with the way things out.
Rehearsal has been everyday for the past 3 weeks. I like this part of the process of a show: we've learned dances, songs, and scenes, and now we do it over and over again to perfect it. It's tiring and boring sometimes, but oh so fun! Well, I'm too tired to really go into detail about Li'l Abner, but I will tell you that it's going to be really good and that you should come see it!
So, I've been a bit accident prone these past 2 weeks. Tuesday, for example, I was wearing socks at rehearsal, and the floor is very slippery. I slip and fall, of course. I get up and laugh it off because it was extremely funny. Trust me. It was funny. I look down at my feet a couple minutes later, and I see that my foot is bleeding. The rocks on my friendship bracelet that is conveniently placed on my ankle cut my ankle. Two of the rocks broke, but none were lodged in my ankle (Thank God!). It took 2 band aids and 3 people to put those band aids on.
The other accident occurred last week, actually on Tuesday again. Hmm... I wonder if that is supposed to mean anything. So last week, I drove my car into a ditch. Again, I laughed the whole way through it. Either I must take bad news well or laughing is my way of being in shock. I'll let you decide. So yeah. My car was stuck, but thanks to Adam who called his dad, the fire chief of the area, and Ms. Peyton, the fire chief's wife and assistant director to our show, they got my car out with just a single phone call. Funny thing is that that phone call turned into 5 firemen and a very large fire truck. They even used the big, bright white lights! They got my car out, and it was fine with the exception of some scratches on some insignificant thing that I'm not sure of the name of it (I don't even know what it's use is either). Want to know how I drove into the ditch. Blame Legally Blonde the Musical. Holly and I were ready to rock out, and then I drive into a ditch. Good driving, Jody! I have a feeling that these 2 incidents are the start of me becoming slightly accident prone. I just hope I am wrong and was just having a bad couple of days.

So I had a night that I watched a lot of Audra McDonald videos on youtube, but I can't show you all of them. I can show you one, though! This is Audra McDonald singing at the New York Marriage Equality Rally on May 17. I'm not sure what the name of the song is or where it is from, but she hits this one out of the park!
We've been listening to some "oldies" in the car to and from rehearsal. This song, although not "old," has been played a few times, and we keep mentioning how awesome this song was from the performance on the 2006 VMA's. Here is Beyonce's "Ring the Alarm."
So FOX's GLEE started on Tuesday, and it was amazing. Lea Michele blows me away even more than she did with Spring Awakening! Matthew Morrison is great too, but we haven't seen mych from him yet. Also, let me just say that black girl is going to be fricken awesome!! I can feel it in my bones. I can't wait to see more episodes in the Fall. I know it has a lot in store for it. I know Kristen Chenoweth has a guest role in the 4th episode and sings "Maybe This Time" from Kander and Ebb's Cabaret. Woot! So here is the amazing New Directions from FOX's GLEE performing "Don't Stop Believing"!!!
BAM!!
