Hello People.

Well, good old center valley and mother nature teamed up for a delayed Halloween trick. It is the end of finals week, I HAD a final friday morning, and now its pushed to 730AM saturday morning….why? Because we’re expecting 4-6 inches of snow topped off with hours of sleet and freezing rain! Delicious. Watch today’s Vlog for the bitterness.

Other than that, It was a really good day. Watch the Vlog for more.

So more on Jon and Kate + 8. I absolutely love this show. It always brightens my day to see this family going through their day to day lives. Its so nice to see that in a world of such chaos and unhappiness, there are families that make it work, with given their circumstances. I totally suggest you read their new book, Mutiple Bles8ings. I read the first chapter and it is so cute, and it is a quick read. Each chapter starts with a little verse from the bible, and even though I’m not a Christian, I appreciate them and the intention and thought behind it all.  I will definitely do a little review after I read it all.

oh, So here’s my Voice recital Piece, THAT SMILE by John Bucchino (from ITS ONLY LIFE) :

Well I guess I should finish up some take home finals and actually prepare for my acting final. Expect some sort of Snow Blog…?

Stay Merry (and Warm),
Peter



Finals week is Here. Happiness and Cheer?

Hello People.

So in a few hours, Finals Week will be in full swing. Silence in the halls, caffeinated twenty somethings, heavy breathing, etc. Surprisingly, I am quite calm. I have a take home final for contemporary theatre, a music theory final (not too nervous about it), and an Acting Final (I need to get on my lines). I feel I have really retained all the information I’ve learned this semester, so studying has been easy and just knowing I know the material really calms me.

The only stressor for me right now is my voice recital.  I know my song, the lyrics, what I want to do with it, but this song is a challenge for me. I usually do songs with a lot of story telling or emotional depth, and usually a ballad. This song is uptempo, and has almost a pop structure to it. I connect to it, but I have to find a way to build through the song, somehow make it my own story. A video of the performance will be posted this week.

okay, and the VLOG for today ——–

Well I believe that is all for today. Catch you later after final #1 and my voice recital.

Stay Merry,
Peter

Fun right! Feel free to share pictures or comments of any ornaments you may have made!
Anyways,

I found out I am an understudy in DeSales upcoming production of Death of a Salesman. I’m quite excited! The call back was more than enough, but to get a chance to work with this group of people will be fun. Plus I get to watch Wayne Turney as an ACTOR! (www.wayneturney.20m.com)

With all of this out of the way, Now I can focus on final exams, Parties, and bitter-sweetly, Next Semester. Filled with rehearsals, classes, MORE auditions, and etc. I can’t wait for Winter Break!

Well that is all for today. Expect a Youtube Obsession later this evening!

Stay Merry,
Peter

Hello People.

I realize the last post was kinda…Boring? yeah…

So this is entry is full of substance!

These last two weeks have been the longest//Fastest two weeks ever! I can’t wait to take a break from the academic life and the stresses of being a theatre major. As much as I love it, one can only take so much.

Yesterday and Today I had auditions // callbacks for Death of a Salesman. I’m more than happy with just the call back I got (for the waiter). If anything else comes of it, its just icing (lIke the good kind, that you eat from a jar…).

The holiday season is in full swing. My room is decorated and my tree is actually decorated now, A blog about the how it looks next week sometime.

Oh, it is official! I will be in California for Christmas day and New Years, and then some. You can bet there will be some Blogging from there! Gaysian in Hollywood! ooo…..miniseries?

oh here’s the video for this post. Its a little Holiday music Analysis including: Hanukah/Xmas Counter point, Elmo, and Riffing Chipmunks! ———–

Well that is all for today. Enjoy!

Stay Merry,
Peter

PS: Stay tuned for youtube obsessions!
