I had a revelation today: I don't want exactly "what I don't have." I mean, I don't want to be someone or something I am not. I would rather be the very best version of myself that I can be. With as few (vocal) technical problems as possible.

Power Vinyasa yoga + Handel's Cleopatra + ornaments from Sills, Claycomb, DeNiese, and Te Kanawa + Unused I am to lovers (and its not-hard-to-tap-into subtext) + "I attempt from love's sickness" = :)

My teacher said my middle was "more closed" today, perhaps because yoga was amazing (the first time I'd been in over a month), perhaps because it was past 9 PM at night. I was also able to sing the otherwise challenging "Non disperar" octave from B4-B5 and then A4-A5 more easily.

Perhaps it was because it was the end of the day?

I was mostly happy with what I heard on my recording for once.

Duet in the works with Walter :) Yahoo! "Heart and Soul" will steal the show. It will be cute.
