So, it was my turn to audition. I give my aria to the pianist. The piece starts with an a capella bit that absolutely must end in tune because the opening chord of the aria includes the ending note of the a capella bit. Perfect. Icouldn't believe it. I keep singing. It's beautiful. I can see it on their faces. They are impressed. All the time I am thinking to myself, "I can't believe these notes are coming out of my mouth. This is gorgeous!" I end. They are indeed impressed. I get ready to pack it up and walk out with confidence knowing I am going to get a call that afternoon saying "You're in."

"Excuse me, gdbaby. Would you mind doing some sight singing for us?'

****. I am handed the piece to sight sing. No piano, nothing. I do not have perfect pitch and have not practiced sight singing since 1998. I finish my interpretation of the piece. Remember that Asian guy who auditioned for American Idol? I sounded like I was his protege. I think I have a better chance hearing from GW than Opera Colorado.

Don't break legs, just pool some funds together to get my pert ass back in private lessons.

Kind of like my first time: it was painful, I didn't learn much from it, but at least I can say I did it.
 
Hey, gd, I *finally* heard something from Colorado!!!!!!!!!!!!!











I got rejected. By email, no less. No summer camp for us. 🙁

yea, what is up with the state schools? UIC strung me along and then dumped me! we are just not feeling the hometown love today i guess!

get rejected by UIC....get interview invite from south carolina....hmmmm....city of chicago (and near vicinity) has 7 medical schools, the entire state of south carolina has 2! 😕

I'm sorry to hear that. I checked your profile, and you've been accepted to UNECOM, right? So there's no CU love, but you know you'll be a doc, right?

I've been rejected from my state school twice, so I feel your pain. And as it's been written about before, the admissions process doesn't make any sense.

🙁 Sorry to hear that ShyRem. You had been waiting on them for so long. I hope some good news from VCU is coming your way soon!

Shy, I don't know what to say. I am so sorry. Please have your fam take you out for dinner tonight, draw you a hot bath, pour you some wine and let you be the godess that you are.

I am still holding out for VCU as you seem to be a "one shot, one kill" kind of gal. If not, then my jealousy REALLY increases because Maine has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
 
hope this helps encourage people who are feeling inclined to post in this thread based soley on its title....email from doc i work with about my waitlist status....

"Congratulations! I actually had the last interview of
the season on 4/28 and I was interviewing for an
alternate spot. I think your chances are good. I got
my call to go just a couple of weeks before the start
of school. It can happen!
Keep the faith!"


....so to those who say "oh, woe are we! there is no hope" i say "HA!" :luck:

SR, that sucks on so many levels. I'm sorry. But you do have an acceptance from UNECOM. I hope VCU comes through for you but if go to school you'll have to move your family and that sucks.
Ok, on with business. Why does elmo want me to die? http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/elmo/murder-me-elmo-146223.php
 
HA! that's really funny. I'm getting one for my son.
 
Oh dear god was that disgusting.
 
ShyRem,

Sorry about Colorado, if it's any consolation, they rejected me as well in '02 forcing me to leave the state I love. In the end it worked out well for me, and I hope to does for you as well.

Congrats on your on your acceptances! Keep the faith.

I think I soiled myself. When does coachella not kick ass? Especially because it's like $700 less than sxsw.

i haven't heard of gnarls barkley, any good?
-mota
 
Gnarls Barkley is Cee-lo green and danger mouse. I think Cee-lo is the most underrated member of the dungeon family and on all the gnarls barkley stuff he sounds like al green. You will have lots of sex this year while gnarls barkley plays in the background.

this track CRAZY is fire. how many albums does he have?
-mota
 
i think a couple of tracks have leaked, i don't know when the album is coming out but i believe it's this month.
Cee-lo's got a couple of solo albums, and all the goodie mob stuff and the dungeon family album (don't sleep on that).

That's crazy. You may recall that the French also performed the first hand transplant. It was several years ago.

Well, when the face transplant issue came about, I read that the guy who received the hand transplant had some major rejection issues as well. Go figure. The guy wasn't taking the anti-rejection medication! WTF?


Wasn't part of the rejection that the guy went nuts and asked to have it removed for psych reasons?

i DLed the first 7 tracks. pretty hot. let me know if you want me to email you some. this fool sounds like a cross between dave chapelle and macy gray at times. humor.

Here's an eye-opening article. These guys asked the panhandlers at on-ramps all about their jobs. Some of them are pretty funny (Dream job: "I'd like to be a pirate. I think that would be a good job. Just give me a treasure chest; I'll be fine.") some of them are pretty sad (Worst job: "I'm an alcoholic, Sir.") http://citypages.com/databank/27/1313/article14078.asp
Ok, ok, I don't actually care about them. My point: this thread was on the 3rd page! How could you all let this happen? I'm very, very disappointed in you. Go to your room and don't come out until you've thought about what you've done. What are you doing? No, there's no toys! You can't play now! You will sit in that chair and you will think about what you did. That's all. I'm disappointed in you, very disappointed in you.

My husband wants to be a pirate. He is hoping we get back close to Lake Michigan so he can jumps ships on the Gold Coast and raid the loot. Arrrrgh.

Good things happen in my room, so I am rushing there now.
 
i went to the ophthalmologist today and he put this yellow shlt in my eyes and it stung real bad! yet, despite my pain, i could not have kicked his ass even if i wanted to. these are the perks of going to an ivy league school and graduating at the top of your class. you get to fock with people and they pay you to do it. no retaliation.
-mota
 
Ok, I remember the same thing a few years ago. It looked like I was getting highlighter fluid dropped into my eyes and they didn't tell me what was going to happen or why they were doing it. Then they put me in a dark room and I started to, you know, have trouble seeing. Granted this was also at the height of my, uh, substance use so I was hella paranoid. But when I left I got a pair of Blublockers and that made it all worthwhile.
Before I left the doctor guy told me my eyes were fine and I shouldn't come back until my late 30's. Who tells customers not to come in for 15 years? I wish he had just told me to see a dentist because my breath smelled. Maybe then I would have been able to rock those pop outs in style.

This reminds me of Ludacris who I just saw in "Hustle and Flow" last night. Damn, that was a good movie. Terrence Howard for Best Actor this year my friends.

Well, at least you're honest about it.

And timmy, armed with your knowledge I can enjoy foie gras again! hooray!
 
gdbaby that's pretty racist.

edit: that song "you know its hard out here for a pimp" is nominated for best song too
 
It's not racist if I have black friends, right?

Can't wait to see how the academy responds. I would love to hear Sir Anthony Hopkins say "And the award goes to 'you know it's hard out here fo a pimp.'"
 
y'all should really warn people about the "not safe for work"-ness of the material in this thread. i think my boss just walked by and saw boobies.

same here. I had to minimize the screen really fast.
 
DU and others - what do you think of the arctic monkeys? sold 120,000 albums in one day. pretty ridiculous stuff. not really up my alley but the songs are catchy for sure, kinda strokes-ish. check out "a certain romance", "when the sun goes down" and "i bet you look good on the dance floor".

I look like a palsy giraffe on the dance floor.
So, I don't know about y'all, but I haven't been feeling good lately.
I've had a headache, some post-nasal drip and a wicked fever.
OLYMPIC FEVER!!!!!
Yeah, I could have said oscar fever, too, except, you know, I don't care about them.
 
holy **** gd- i just called GW and they said there has been movement on my application and I should be hearing something in the mail soon. f*ckin a. i'm nervous.
