Renovations and bluebirds 

Play Azulao! (mp3 format) (not available anymore. you will have to get this on your own. sorry) three:twenty-nine pm

Looks like I'm going to make another addition to my website. I'm scanning in a bunch of photos and I'm hoping I'll get them on the page by the end of this weekend. Thumbnails and all. :) Well, look forward to that. Today I popped in my Kathleen Battle CD "So Many Stars" and man oh man do I want her voice. It's so beautiful and strong, and for a woman of such small stature, it is just amazing how much sound she produces. I wish I could sing like that. Listen to my favorite song, Azulao (mp3). I will have it here in about an hour. two:forty-seven pm
 
 

Azulao
Vai, Azulao, Azulao companheiro, vai!
Vai ver minha ingrata.
Diz que sem ela o sertao
nao e mais sertao!
Ai! voa, Azulao vai contar,
companheiro vai!

Bluebird
Go, my companion bluebird, go
Go see my ungrateful one,
Tell her that without her my little farm
Is no longer the same!
Ah! fly, bluebird, fo tell her,
my companion, go!

It's friggin' 1:30 in the morning and I just spent the last 3 hours trying to make this website look pretty. Shows how much of a life I have, huh? Boy oh boy, you must be envious of me. Well, if you want to make me happy, look around at everything I added. Maybe you would want to sign my guest book too? That would make these three hours worthwhile. Love to all. I'm feeling better now. Somehow my family seems to get over things really quickly. Alexis, my dad, and I all went to La Talpa for dinner tonight. Great Mexican food. Well, somehow, we ended up talking and laughing, and my dad didn't seem so "depressed" anymore. I really hate that word, "depressed". It's a medical term, right? well, my dad isn't medically "depressed", he's far from it. It's too strong of an adjective to describe a feeling that disappeared in a few hours. I know that he will be sad and stressed tomorrow, but at least it is a weekend (thank the lord) and I will be home to cheer him up. That's what he needs, a small dose of laughter from Rachel Dearborn. :) till tomorrow... one:forty-one am
