I have become enthralled with the end of Austrian phone conversations. When I sit in the U-bahn I always pay close attention to people on their cell phones because they have twelve different ways of saying goodbye, and they use all of them in one conversation. I always expect to hear "Ciao" or "Tschüss" or "Bis später" or something but instead it sounds more like "ok-auf-viedersehen-tschüss-tata-ciao". I don't consider my intense focus on other peoples' conversations to be eavesdropping because I only understand 20% of what they are saying. I never hear anything juicy, and I'm just waiting for the end anyway.
Obsession number two is eating fruits and vegetables in the rawest (I don't know if that is a real word) form possible. Like taking a big bite out of a tomato or crunching into an un-peeled carrot. It just makes me feel so earthy and rugged.
Tomorrow I'm singing "Popular" from Wicked on a solo concert. I'm hoping it ends in mad applause and not awkward silence like it did in the dress rehearsal today. There was only one lady in the room, and she is in charge of the instrumentalists. I don't think she knew what to do with American musical theatre. Oops...
