new beginnings

I have been dealing with a bunch of new things in my life.  Not many of them have been funny, but I hear a few things here and there, so I'll do my best to entertain you all. 

I just joined an opera company as a resident artist, and we had a little get-together last night.  It was determined by someone much more "together" than myself that we were indeed behaving as typical singers in their natural habitat.  What I mean is that singers do several things very well: we eat, drink, sing (duh) and TALK.  The woman who noted this then said to me, "I guess everything opera singers do well involves stuff either going in or coming out of their mouths."  

It's sad, but true.  We blab - a lot.  I think opera singers might make great politicians...LOTS of hot air. 

But, to be honest, I am most looking forward to getting into this show.  I can't give a bunch of details, but it's unlike anything anyone is expecting, and the fact that we get to take it abroad excites me even more!  

I have to cut this one short as I really don't have much more, and just wanted to get my little quote in.  I have a little rant about the olympics, but I'll save it for later.
