Something About Musicals...

I would say that musicals are a guilty pleasure but in all honestly I absolutely LOVE musicals! Yes they are cheesy and they can make no sense what-so-ever sometimes, but there is something special about a great musicals that you can't get their songs out of your head.

Ever since I was a kid musicals always have made me extremely happy. The Sound of Music was on at all hours of the night in the Abaud household. To this day I can sing every song by heart and even attempt to do the dances. Now when I watch it I can't help admiring the Von Trapp children's clothing in particular the oldest daughter, Liesl wardrobe.

I can go on for days writing about the Sound of Music, but I'll stop right there.

As I got older it was hard to go through my teen angst phase and like musicals at the same time. However, I couldn't help get a funny feeling of excitement during the closing scenes of Sister Act 2 when the class goes to the choir competition and break out into the most ridiculous performance. It was something inside of me that I loved, but could not admit it.

There are a few musicals that I wasn't initially too fond of such as Rocky Horror Picture Show or Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I had watched them in passing in middle school with my friends in hopes of catching clips of the "dirty" parts. By chance the songs from those movies came back into my life which and prompted me to give those films another chance. Once I understood the music I was a fan of the movie.

Recently one of my roommates asked me why do gays guys (and myself) like Barbara Streisand so much. I had to think about this one for a sec. So many reasons, Jewess, hilarious, beautiful in her own right, talented. If you need any proof of this, please watch Funny Girl. This film is in my top 5 films of all time. Babs plays Fannie Brice, a young singer that comes up from the Lower East Side of NY to make it big. In the meantime she meets her first hubby, Nick Arnstein, who turns out be a gambling loser.

Really there isn't anything else I can say about Barbara Streisand without sound like a 70 year-old woman or a flaming homosexual (I think I've achieved both of those. Whatever I'm not ashamed!)

Now I am 26 and with the help of Netflix: Watch Instantly, I have been able to discover so many more musicals. I have an appreciation for a good song that is placed so perfectly to help narrate a story.

Today was a Good Hair day

Let's hope it landed me a job.

Spinster Sweater

This is by far my favorite sweater to wear around the house. I bought it one day from Urban Outfitters because I was really cold walking around. Initially I thought it was $29.99 but once I got to the register it ended up being $9.99 and worth every penny.

It's such a silly sweater that besides wearing it out the first day I can't imagine going out in public. However, it does show my much appreciation and love for happy puppies.

Mini Project

I was bored today and I found some paint to cover the awful red colored bathroom door. It was a project much like one I did when I was a child. Finding something that I'm not suppose to use like a razor and shaving my legs. I did not however get in trouble, but I created more work to clean up then I wanted to deal with.

Current Life Status

This is what I look like looking for jobs on Craigslist. I have this strange nervous heavy feeling in the bottom on my stomach and not even the sweet voices of Simon and Garfunkel is easing this discomfort.

It's been approximately 2 months since I was "let go". Just like a break-up, I'm still bitter and trying to questions what went wrong. I know what went wrong, I lost passion for it. Simple as that. I was so excited when I first got fired. I thought: finally I'll have a chance to find something I really love. I wish it was that simple. Everything kind of has gone to shit. My "connections" have fallen through. My unemployment has been put on hold and I leave my apartment maybe twice a week.

I can't say that everything has been awful. I've had 4 interviews and 2 of them have had follow up interviews, which is says a lot about my potential. There is this feeling of helplessness and a slight desire for wanting things to be the way they were before. "The way they were before"? Jesus, Danit you sound like an idiot! You hated working for those people and dealing with their bullshit on a daily basis.

Since I have not updated my blog in about a year, here are a few bullet point about what's going on with me:

• Brody, the house dog, has become my life partner and now chooses to sleep with me at night instead of his owner.
  
• 2 weeks ago I went on an awful date with an idiot. After the date while being tipsy I sent Scott a text. He didn't reply. Last weekend he sent me a text at 3am wondering if I was still awake. In my many attempts to contact him again still no response.
• Latest haircut is amazing and I can really show off my curly hair.
  
• My dad has been in contact with me a lot since he left rehab. I gave him as much support as I could while he was in there and now he is returning it.
  
• I've been cooking a lot lately. My Butternut Squash soup is pretty amazing. Although my favorite new vegetable is Green beans.
  
• Still difficult living with 4 other people, but are all getting a long better. There is also prospects of redecorating.
  

I plan on updating more often so get ready.

i did it!
