Baby, I was born to survive

[komadori]

As promised, here are some of the good things that did happen to me during my all too long journaling hiatus:

• Last year, I saw Lady Gaga live at Dodger's Stadium. I Love her ♥ I sang along and allowed myself to get lost in the experience. Plus, there was this kid behind me screaming about how Lady Gaga saved his life--that's priceless.
• I joined a choir; I am a fiend for choral music. Also, my conductor was this really cool non-binary person who has really great taste in music Sadly, they are moving to Washington state, but they will be coming back to SoCal periodically to work with us again.
• I saw the musical Six about the six wives of Henry VIII. It's fun, and the music is really catchy.
• I worked on my university's scholarly journal.
• I have completed all of my coursework for my Master's degree. All I need to do now is take the comprehensive exams to graduate.
• I finally got to go to this great okonomiyaki place called Chinchikurin.
• I had kitsune udon for the first time.
• I became obsessed with What We Do in the Shadows.
• Ooh, I also saw Hadestown last fall, and it is now one of my favorite musicals.

There's probably more that I am forgetting as life has been very eventful in both good an bad ways. I plan to make a post about the books and music I've been enjoying too.

Omg you are very theatrically inclined! I enjoy musical theater, but have not been to a show in ages, so I'm jealous at how many you saw and the musical experiences you engaged with! Very cool

Yes, I kind of went crazy after being cooped up from the pandemic. XD I blame Disney for my obsession with musical theater, though. I hope you get to see more musicals sometime soon too.
