Light Opera Society concert tonight. My parents and little sister came to watch me sing...it was kind of late for my sis, and they were sitting in the second row, so I got to watch her slowly falling asleep...until we did our funky-ass rendition of 'The Teddy Bear's Picnic' and she sat bolt upright ^_^
Feeling positive about work tonight, probably because I've gone out of the house and done something (damn, this means I have no excuse for not having a social life...)

Yup. You won't see me hitting those glass-shattering notes any time soon...
Gilbert and Sullivan wrote Pirates Of Penzance, HMS Pinafore and a bunch of other comic operas. I know about them mainly cos my mum took me to some of the plays when I was little - and I sang in HMS Pinafore 2 years ago.
(Hmm, when I tried to type Pinafore there, my fingers automatically tried to write 'Piranha' - too much JSR fics, I think...)

Well, maybe you should start writing "Boogie" instead. *COUGH*

Just kidding...but hey. If I ever won an Xbox in some sort of contest or somehting, ya'know, like I unscrew the cap on a Pepsi and the caps say "YOU WIN AN XBOX!!!", I'd actually send it to you...and pay shipping! ^_^

HMS Pinafore? The one with the song, "British Tar?"

I was just wondering, because in one of the Star Trek movies, they begin singing it, and I heard that "British Tar" is from HMS Pinafore. Is it? I like that one!

[tallulahgs]

That's so sweet of you!
Probably. The one that goes 'A British tar is a soaring soul, as free as a mountain bird?' (I'd sing it if we were IRL.) I'm glad you like it! (Why were they singing it on Star Trek?)

Yes! I love that song.

Well, you'd only understand if you're a geeky nerdy fan of Star Trek.

Nah, all you have to do to understand is at least know Star Trek pretty well.

It was in one of the movies. Are you into Star Trek at all?

[tallulahgs]

I quite like Star Trek...I was into the books quite a bit when I was younger, but I've never seen the movies and I don't make a point of watching it (but then I don't watch much TV in general.) Do tell and I'll see if I can get it! I know most of the characters.

Well, this movie is from "The Next Generation" Series. You know, with Captain Picard, not Kirk. Meh, you probably know.

Anyways, the movie is called "Insurrection". It's my favorite Star Trek movie.

Data goes a bit crazy, and hijacks a fighter ship. So, Picard and Word chase hin. To distract Data, Picard opens a channel and begins singing "A British Tar", and Data begins singing along.

Yes, I know (the difference between NG and Original, that is.) LOL! That is so cool, thanks for telling me!

You're welcome.

By the way, typo:

Word = Worf

Anyways, check it out when you get the chance.
