All I ask is every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime...

Even though I'm still on the verge of being sick, I must say that there is no finer medicine than good friends and good music. I went to the movies tonight with my friends and we saw the Phantom of the Opera. It was simply phenomenal. Gaston Leroux wrote the original book, I recommend the book before the movie since you'll follow the plot better. It's a great book too, really exciting to read. I saw the actual show when it came to Denver a long time ago, I was little, but I loved it back then too. This movie though really exceeded my expectations. The acting was magnificent, the singers were great, although I wasn't completely sold on the Phantom in the beginning but once you begin to see his character more, you understand that the singing truly fits the part Gerard Butler plays, but I must say that probably one of the best scenes was the duet between Christine and Raoul- All I ask of You. I never really liked the character of Raoul before, but oh man, the actor in the movie played him so very well. Ok well I should quit rambling about this movie now, but seriously, if you don't want to spend 50 bucks to see it on stage, see the movie...but only after you read the book. Then go buy me the soundtrack.
Tomorrow, I'm meeting with my uncle and his...um "friend?" Paula for lunch. This woman friend (I hesitate to call her a girlfriend) is an Interior Designer here in good old Downtown Denver and I'm trying to get my foot in the door. She does commercial design as far as I know, but hey, it's a start. Sometimes, I freak myself out because I don't feel like I'm doing enough to advance my career and I get scared that I'm going to suck at life and never find a job because I didn't do enough to prepare. That's when I have to take a slight step back and realize that I'm 19 and I've only completed 3 of 8 semesters and I don't need to freak out yet, because I'm pretty sure I'm doing alot already. But oh well, I'd rather be overprepared than not prepared at all. I'm going to call it a night and go think of questions that I want to ask this lady. Plus I'm starting to get woozy from the medicine. I'm praying for you all. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's weekend!
