eating μπισκότο (biscuit) ice cream today. soooooo good.

there are fliers, posters, and banners for our concerts for the festival of the aegean all over the island — even on buses! it’s really kind of trippy.

in rehearsal for mascagni’s cavalleria rusticana for the festival of the aegean in the theatre. i’m not used to singing in an opera chorus, and it sure is interesting…

we have the first of five consecutive concerts tomorrow night. i’m kind of nervous, not going to lie.

we had rehearsal until 10 PM last night and before catching a cab back to the hotel, we walked around the city a bit. in between the shopping (hah), we came across these streets and alleyways of chairs and tables occupied with couples talking over romantic candlelight.

seriously, this whole island is a dream come true. the cobblestones, cafes, boutiques, marketplaces — these are the kinds of scenes that i always see in movies but i never think that they actually exist.

Bolt Teaser Trailer HD

saw this trailer during the previews before wall-e…and i am SO getting my butt to the theatre whenever it comes out.

“are you hungry?”
”STARVING!”

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:59:10 -0400

i was speaking with a close friend of mine tonight and we were talking about the fact that a year from now, she could very well be married. she spoke of the future, of plans, of saving money, of insurance and apartments and grad school — and in none of her sentences did her boyfriend’s (and future fiance’s) name fail to escape her lips.

not going to lie, i’m a little jealous. i’m not in a rush to get married, but i want to know who that person for me is, and i want to know what my life is going to be. i want to know whether or not to move back home after graduation, i want to know whether or not to go to grad school, and if i do, where.

i’m not going to give up my dreams to be with someone (unless they’re really worth it) or let someone do that for me, but i’m scared to make concrete plans for my life because i want to be flexible enough to accomodate that person. what if the plans i make are too rigid, too specific, too uncompromising?

yeah, i’m living for myself. i’m ultimately concerned about my own happiness — but because it’s who i am, my happiness is contingent on making someone else happy. but because i’m so damn difficult, i’m scared that i’ll become so independent (or scared?) that i won’t be able to let someone else in — something that i think i’m in danger of at the present.

of course, my friend says, “when you meet that person and you want to accomodate you and they want to do the same, it just clicks.” and i think she’s right.

i’m just so impatient to meet (or re-meet) this person and finally start to see the pieces fall together.

i saw wall-e

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:21:28 -0400

and i think it’s possible to have a crush on an animated robot.

everyone needs to go see it. now.

i don’t know how pixar is going to top this one.

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:09:19 -0400

i’ve been looking forward to seeing wall-e since i saw his big cute eyes fill up the theatre screen during the previews before ratatouille. i’ve religiously checked for trailers, seen all the videos they’ve created of him playing with random items, watched his cameo on KTLA, etc.

AND I HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET. and i’m not sure i’ll be able to before i leave for my trip.

sigh.

(it’s already upsetting that i can’t see the dark knight when it comes out in theatres.)
