Ramblings.

Had my audition.  It went well.  Great in fact.  They seemed to adore me, and one judge even said, "Wow that's nice to come back from lunch to hear."  No callback, however.  I'm getting the feeling that although I'm singing well and make great impressions, this just isn't my year.  The best singing in the world will not force a company to change their repertoire and do an opera where there's a role for me.  It seems like the wrong productions are being done everywhere.  Well, there's still more.  I have many auditions coming up, many for shows with roles I can sing, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Diet wise, I'm doing alright so far.  I did most of Jillian Michaels' "Burn fat, boost metabolism" this morning (WOW that shit is HARD), and I'm about to finish the rest of it.  I was interrupted by the email that I needed to be at the place of audition in 2 hours, so I stopped when I was almost done with the DVD.  I've had 4 different f/v's so far today, and tonight I'm meeting the man at Cafe Blossom to celebrate his victory.  I will order something light (probably a salad) and have a much-needed glass of wine.  I'll do my best not to go over 1600, however it's probably not a good idea to eat out on day 1, but John really wants to go.  Unfortunately the calorie counts for this restaurant are not listed online, so I'm just going to have to make do.  My best bet is the Blossom Greens salad, which has cucumber, jicama, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas.  It's mostly vegetables, so calorie-wise it should be pretty safe.  I'll do my best to measure out the chickpeas and calculate the calories when I get home.  Usually when I go to Blossom I splurge and get a big hearty sandwich with sweet potato fries, but not this time.  I'm serious about getting into shape, and I will not splurge tonight.

K, off to do some Jillian, then out for a little walk.
