My humble appoligies for not posting…
And since I have a great deal to mention I shall get right to the point(if there is one.).
I would say that the most important thing that happened(though it might be the second, or actually I shall say) One of the more important things that happened since Monday would be my trip to the mall on Wednesday with some friends of mine. I went to Build-A-Bear and I built a very cute little bear. Also I bought some clothes for it. And while I was at the mall I spotted a beautiful Tiara, which I didn’t buy despite the fact that is was only $12.00 and I didn’t have one just like it.
But I did buy the Tiara, though not on Wednesday. Today I stopped by the Mall and since they were having a buy one get one fifty percent off, I bought two tiaras. Also my Mom went to Build-a-bear as I had discovered that the outfits fit a Teddy bear she had perfectly. She bought three outfits there. Also we did other miscellaneous shopping
I suppose I should put things in chronological order, but I don’t feel like bothering to do it. I’ll probably put the thing that happened last last so that will be all right. On Monday night(or early Tuesday morning, I forget which.) I was looking on Ebay and I made a great discovery. it was a DVD set, fifty movies on twelve discs for thrirty dollars. And they were classic older movies too. So on Tuesday(when everybody was up) it was purchased. I was hoping it would arrive today but my hopes were crushed… Instead my school DVD’s arrived and I was not pleased when I discovered that instead of what I was hoping for, what I wasn’t hoping for happened. But to continue to recent events
Not too recently we checked out “The Mikado” from the library. However due to the fact that we couldn’t understand what most of the people were saying due to the the fact that they were singing, we missed some of the amusing lines. I had meant to look up on Google if there was a website that had what they were singing and saying but I didn’t bother to do it until tonight, when I discovered that there was one, and it even had more than just the words! The Gilbert and Sullivan Archive Home Page is the great and mighty website, and I do recommend seeing their online Mikado presentation.
So, since I was all ready thinking about making a Japanese style Kimono I switched my thoughts to making enough costumes for a whole cast, and doing the Mikado the same way I did the Parlor Scene from Pride and Prejudice(which I have yet to video edit due to my computers non cooperation.) In the PS from P and P only the person talking was shown on the screen as I was doing all of the acting. Now that might be a bit difficult to do an Opera in that style but it probably could be managed. In fact I am quite sure it could be managed if I had one or so of the characters be stuffed animals with me being the actors. I have a very interesting looking White stuffed gorilla that would make a delightful Katasha… I don’t want to be her since her face is not beautiful and though I do not say like Yum Yum “Yes, I am indeed beautiful! Sometimes I sit and wonder, in my artless Japanese way, why it is that I am so much more attractive than anybody else in the whole world. Can this be vanity? No! Nature is lovely and rejoices in her loveliness. I am a child of Nature, and take after my mother. ” Still my left shoulder blade is not my most attractive feature… I think if I shorten the chorus down to just one person, or actually two persons, the gentlemen of Japan and the other females, I should do all right. So my object all sublime I shall achieve in time, is to let the punishment fit the crime… Fortunately the score does not require any extremely high notes and is relatively easy to sing, which is just as well since I can’t sing as well as some persons who have the ability to shatter glass, and not just with their reflections… However since I will probably wait until I get my new computer(which may be a while… Especially since I don’t have a birthday coming up and I am not doing well on school and I am spending most of what I am earning…) I may never do it, but then again I may! I think it would be very fun to do the Mikado and since every one in my family likes it I think they would not be too bored with my rendition of it. I hope…
However, I hope that I am going to start posting every day again. I think I know why I haven’t though, I have been preoccupied with Neoquest, a new game on Neopets. It is very interesting and very time consuming… I am currently about half way through part two of five parts… and that is with playing it a lot during the past few days! Fortunately I have set up my PDP(personal DVD player) so I can watch a DVD and play it at the same time, which works quite well. As soon as the set of DVD’s arrive I shall start previewing and playing Neoquest in earnest… Which means that it might be another long space of time before I write a post. But they probably won’t come in until Monday which means that Saturday should be a productive day, hopefully…
