Are you there, voce?

It's me, Courtney.


Listen, sweetpie, I really need you to step up your game by tomorrow because, I'm not gonna lie, I don't actually feel so hot about the whole competition thing. What's that? Well, yeah, I should have started working on those Italian songs before this morning at 4am. And you're right; that Barber piece really ISN'T going to count itself. Still, voce, I'm going to go ahead and say that despite my inability to prepare adequately for anything, you still manage to take care of crap. I don't know how you do it, but I'm not going to question you now, baby. I'm going to go work on these songs, now, so you think about what I said, alright?

Kisses!

p.s. If I don't advance, I totally called it.


p.p.s. Let it be known that I almost posted a pic of my vocal folds! They look kind of awkward though, so I decided against it.

Happy Birthday, Rümmi!!

Today, in honor of my Rümmi on the day of her birth, I present:


The Many Faces of Kari




Love you, Rümmi!!




p.s.

Isn't it amazing how
those late night
PhotoBooth sessions
come in handy?

Let it be known

I had a really emo blog written out about how stupid and disappointed I feel sometimes, but after being ridiculous and listening to "Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps" by, of all things, the Pussycat Dolls, I have decided to just let it be known that I was going to be all Debbie Downer, but didn't want to sully the other very delightful entry this evening about my wonderful friends (who are, of course, incredible).

I cannot stop listening to this song.

It is so beautiful. I have posted some Kelli O'Hara before (see here), but this is just so incredibly gorgeous, I seriously have listened to it continuously since I got home from church. I was totally unfamiliar with Light in the Piazza until about 2 days ago, but if you enjoy this song and don't know the show, it's totally worth it to go look it up and then listen again. And again, and again...




Also, all both of you who read this, go look at my Facebook note about kisses. :-*
