Sangria, Bridget Jones and a brand new pair of lungs!

My computer battery is completely dead, hence the five days between posts. J'excuse!

The past few days have been a complete whirlwind. "Lend Me a Tenor"n on Friday was absolutely fabulous. The seats were so close to the stage that we got spit on by Tony Shaloub (Monk). Funny, funny, funny especially if you like Opera humor or anything to do with screaming Italians. Saturday, I spent the day sleeping and got myself a fancy schmancy (and surprisingly cheap) pedicure and then headed to the NY philharmonic for the evening. Filled with culture and beautiful music I ended my weekend by spending my Sunday with family in New Jersey. Now here's the best part. My cousin, who has (had) cystic fibrosis, has been waiting for a new pair of lungs for eons. I was just about to head back to my dorm in NYC when he got THE call. While he was headed out the door, my cousin turned to me and said, "Well, Gen, you're either good luck or bad luck. We'll see". I'm hoping that I'm good luck. Surgery went well and today his breathing tube was taken out so he was able to breathe from his new lungs for the first time!

In other news, I had some delicious sangria with dinner this evening at the most wonderful Cuban restaurant. Note to self: while vegetarian paella is delicious, meat and seafood is always a better decision. Also, Bridget Jones marathon + friends + popcorn = one happy lady.

More updates to come. Working on a scene from "Chorus Line" for acting class. Check out the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cPBWzsQ5zo . I play Maggie, the third woman to sing. Enjoy :)

Peace, Love and Paella,

Geni
