staying classy

on tuesday everyone in the group got dressed up and we went to the opera. we saw rusalka which is the story disney based "the little mermaid" off of. the theater was incredible.

view from my seat

are you seeing this chandelier?! this ceiling?!

despite being really, really high up, i had a great seat. i was right in the middle. i used the little opera binoculars during the performance. the show itself was okay; the costumes were great but the sets were lacking. to me, the most amazing part about it all was the fact that none of the singers had mics on. these people were seriously belting it out.

no, there was no breaking glass.

blurry shot...wasn't really supposed to take pictures

i am currently in the process of trying to make a video to post on here. it will definitely be random and scattered, but that's pretty much how things work around here. i hope to finish it before spring break, but we'll see.

speaking of videos, i watched a really cool czech movie for my literature class the other day. it's called kytice, or "bouquet" in english. the movie is a compilation of seven old czech fairytales. i just found it to be really whimsical, sometimes a little dark. worth checking out at least.

that's all for now.

much love.
