Isn't it interesting how information is preliforated from blog to blog as the readers of a blog try the test/program/etc. and then post about it on their blogs. Interesting, huh? Not really? .... shu'p
We had guests at our school today. Being one of the best schools in the country, the Shiang Hai School of Performance Art decided to stop at our school for a performance. First of, our principal gave us a check list of what not to do (imagine an old man saying "no whooping, or calling out of "you go girl" over the annoucements). Then, everyone filed into the auditorium (rather noisly) and the show began. People were being rather annoying with their heckling comments and snickering at the mandarin spoken, but I rather liked it. We could have done without the heavily accented translator who only translated about 25% of what was said. However, the dances were beautiful. The first one was... well, it was the "dance of joy" but it looked rather siamese than chinese... but regardless it was good. Then, a little girl sang the "mushroom picking" song along with another barely understandable "eidelweiss" and one more song in madarin that I can't quite remember was about. Then next number, however, was utterly beautiful. It was the Lao story of two lovers torn apart by a war, and the fans used were artfully manipulated. The music was haunting, yet spectacular. I absolutely loved it! Next, there was a lil guy who performed martial arts. He was very fluid and elegant, however his movements had no power within them, and his form was rather sloppy. Next, there was a magic show with the usual unusually neon costumes. Regardless, everything they did was... erm, boring. Living in Vegas with the likes of Lance Burton and other well practiced magicians, I expect nothing less, and every single trick performed was a rather easy one. Last was a rather silly dance about old people trying to be young again after seeing their grandkids so energetic. Not the best way to end the program, if you ask me. However, overall the show was good. One problem, the performance threw off the whole schedual so I only had half an hour of art, and an elongated english period. oh well.
I hate falling asleep during the afternoon. Sure, I got the majority of work done for all my classes... save those two big projects. I wanted to have a chance to talk to Seri about the background music for the song her group's performing for language fair. I'm wondering when all the groupmembers will actually practice together.
Spent the better part of last night clipping stuff from old issues of People magazine. It's scary what you can find, but I want more hot-bod guys in it! XD
... Ech, need to take a lil rest now. Stupid stomach/food poisoning/grandma's cooking... I need to take over the kitchen someday.
