Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

back to the Down to Earth

Um, and I think it was the version posted by the Classical Ballet and Opera House?

sorry, Gian Furlough Acorn Harlowe looks so goofy in this drawing haha normally xe's actually pretty serious so this makes me laugh. The texturing's also sorta... uhh... well, yeah I stopped cuz I didn't want to make things worse (and sorry the pencil is so light, I'll try to fix things up later)

hopefully the drawing doesn't cut off... it prob will...

I looked it up and think I found the right thing online. I watched a good amount of it. I was actually impressed by how well the music was played, especially the opening. I think if you liked that, you'll really like Royal Opera House's 2020 performance. You can get Royal Opera House Stream for like one pound for 6 weeks, so if you want to try that it's pretty low-risk. (You can also get it on the Marquee TV app but I don't believe that has a very good trial period. That being said I think you could really enjoy a certain Nutcracker performance they have especially so)

For reference, it's the version with Fumi Kaneko as Aurora and Frederico Bonelli as Florimund. Fumi Kaneko is superb - but she actually wasn't supposed to be Aurora. If I'm correct it was going to be Lauren Cuthbertson, and Fumi Kaneko was going to be The Lilac Fairy but stepped in after Cuthbertson had an injury. Compared to another ROH performance of the same "version" with Marianela Nuñez, a bit of her footwork is less clean, but other than that you can't tell (with the disclaimer that I don't do ballet XD). She's absoulutely superb and completely embodies Aurora. She's definitely one of my favorite dancers. And since Fumi Kaneko was the Lilac Fairy, the Lilac Fairy was replaced with Gina Storm-Jensen, who's amazing (and she's only a Soloist!)

Also, the Fairy of Songbirds (which I think they just took out of the version you watched ToT) is also amazing. It was Anna Rose O'Sullivan, who's absolutely one of my favorite dancers, and she is just. Amazing. (She's also one of Florestan's sisters and is just as good at that.) The Bluebird and Florine, Yasmine Naghdi and Matthew Ball, are also noteworthy. I've seen several other Bluebirds, plenty from the Royal Opera House, and they're the best. The White Cat and Puss in Boots are hilarious. I could keep going but it's just an overall amazing performance. The costumes are beautiful, the music is played really well, the set design is super cool, and it's just overall amazing. 10/10 reccomend, so if you're interested I hope you can get it :D Also if you do decide to get ROH Stream or Marquee let me know and I can reccomend a few other things!

also if you can get a better picture of your drawing please post it! I can't see it very well

Those trees and pokey balls were all over the place when I lived in TX! They're called sweet gum balls (from the sweet gum trees) and rather hurt when you step on them.

Happy purim! I wish I could show y'all my Purim costume, bc I'm obsessed with my outfit and am in love with how I finally got the silver eyeshadow to look good and it also looks good on my lips too, those people kept thinking it's blue, but nope it's silver, the same stuff that's on my eyes, bc though I don't have gray eyes, I can put gray on my eyes to be the gray-eyed maiden.

Also, because I came abt 20 minutes late to shul, I got to quote that one cut line from Epic that Athena sings that goes like "Glad to join the party, though I'm sorry I came late~"

Yes, happy Purim! What was your Purim costume? I ate sooooo many hamantaschen! It was so fun!

I was Athena! What was your costume? I agree, it was very fun. I loved my havurah's purim spiel; it was hilarious, as usual. What's your favorite flavor of hamataschen (why is it so annoying to spell)? I like chocolate and lemon.

How I did it was being super clear in my reasoning and having open communication, which I feel like is the most important part. I have no idea what your exact situation is but I wish you luck and support <333
