My first weekend in Vienna was not a lively one, but the good news is I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. I was super sick, so I just slept and took strange green pills all weekend and skipped the bar hopping and party going. Not that I would do that in the first place, Mom and Dad... There is a huge event this weekend because the Ubahn is going to run all night on the weekends for the first time. You can print out a ticket online (which I did just a few seconds ago!) that lets you ride any line all night and gets you into 31 different clubs for free. I don`t think I am much of the clubbing type, but it should be an interesting night full of getting lost and riding the subway I guess. I just got hired to be a librarian at IES for the music workshop! Hooray! Today will be filled with making copies of music for the performance workshop meeting tomorrow. I can`t wait to see what I get to sing and start learning new music.
It has been rainy all week, but I like the weather a lot. Blustery and a little chilly. It`s a bit dark and romantic, and I totally buy into it. This morning I wore my big tan trenchcoat and Laura`s black boots (thanks for letting me borrow them) and did that thing where you pretend you are in a movie that is all about you and right now you`re in the opening montage- other people do that, right? Maybe not. I bet Laura knows what I`m talking about.
I saw 60% of Don Giovanni on the big screen at the Rathaus last night before I got too cold and went home. The production was very...interesting. They used an all white, rotating set with lots of doors and sliding panels and whatnot. Contemporary dress, which seems to be a big thing in productions here, and nudity galore. Don`t get me wrong- I fully support naked people on stage. I just thought it strayed a little too far from the path, and the new elements of the production didn`t really enhance it for me. That`s just my opinion...

I do.
ReplyDeleteAlso I totally get the weather thing.
Also WTF of COURSE you got a job at a library in Austria! Can you see my eyes rolling? Seriously that's awesome though.
You sure deserve the fun and new experiences you're having. I don't know anyone who has worked as hard as you have. As always use good sence riding all night on subways from club to club. Since you're just getting over a cold try to get a singing gig where you get to keep your clothes on. Love you Dad
ReplyDeleteI only strip if it`s a really good role anyway. No worries. I can see your eyes rolling, Laura, and I know that when you go abroad similar things will happen to you so I`m not really worried. :-P It took me a really long time to type that face. This keyboard is so wonky. GUYS, get a calling card or something and CALL ME! It costs me like a dollar a minute to call you, but you can call me for 6 cents!
