The Dream Stealer

For the second time ever (as far as I am aware) I made it into the paper! It's from the Western Front campus newspaper, and the article is about the composers of Western concert that happened last Monday. This photo from one of our rehearsals for The Dream Stealer made it onto the article, but they didn't put our names on it anywhere. The pianist is Heidi Fivash, the violinist Brendan something... the flautist is Justin Lee, who is also our principal clarinetist for wind symphony, and the cellist is Zach something. (Unfortunately, I can't remember those last names.)So, that's rull exciting! You can read the article if you like, although I didn't find it particularly provoking.

Other exciting news includes seeing the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" here last night. If you've never seen it, you must! It's a romantic comedy by Oscar Wilde and there are a couple of movie versions (one with Colin Firth in it!) that you could see. Anyway, the play was *very* good and I would probably see it again if I had eight more dollars.

Tonight I am going to see an opera that I believe a student here wrote... not sure though. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it because I love opera!

I only have two more weeks of class and some finals to go! The end is in sight!

Once upon a time...

there were five little girls named Claire, Madeline, Bing, Deirdre, and Sheila. They lived happily for quite some time. Then one of them decided it would be fun to have a tea party.

So Claire and Bing, who happened to be best friends, went tea party dress shopping. Claire found a beautiful dress, plaid on top with a mismatched bottom that only Claire would be able to find. Bing found a tasteful, elegant and classic tea party dress, and they were both thrilled with their choices.

Deirdre, Madeline and Sheila went shopping too. Deirdre's dress of choice was $3000, but since she was saving up for a car, she settled instead on a feather boa and pink lace dress. Madeline found a truly *remarkable* dress, two different shades of lime green, with matching leggings. And Sheila fell in love with a light purple, rather frumpy, frilly dress.

Now that they were all decked out in their finery, they made tea, sponge cake, star fruit and whipped cream, zucchini bread, and spread it all out on a lace table cloth in Bing's kitchen.

*slurp. sip. crunch. nibble. slurp*

The rain was falling, as rain is wont to do, and the fivesome felt it high time to frollick in the aforementioned rain. So they did, got soaking wet, ruined their party dresses, and had a high old time. Congratulations, girls, on an afternoon well spent.
