Rigoletto

On Saturday I took Andrea on a date. It was horribly romantic. Ok not really but I can pretend right? Anyway. We went to Rigoletto up in Salt Lake. It was AMAZING!!! I thought I knew the plot from the other Rigoletto I had seen but it was entirely different and super intriguing. I love the opera. It was so beautiful. It was in Italian of course. I thought the tenor was amazing but then the soprano came out. I can't decide who I loved more, the soprano or the bass. The soprano sang more but the bass had such a presence! He was playing the part of a hit man and he did it so so well. The soprano was the daughter of the main character and she would be crumpled up on the floor singing like an angel 3 octaves above what most people could dream of.
Look it up. Read it and if you can, go to the opera. I pinkie promise you won"t regret it.

Requirements

So a few days ago I had to go on a date. I generally hate dating. Ok let's face it, I always hate dating. Anyway. The date was fine. We went to a Jazz game and had freaking 5th row tickets!! 5th row! It was an amazing game, super close the whole time and way back and forth. I was yelling my head off (which was entertaining for all those around me because I had a horrible cold and sounded like an old smoker lady on crack). So when I got back from this date I was thinking about all the things I like and don't like about boys. I decided to make a list of things that my future intended will do. Here I go!

-not mock my taste in music

I'm getting bored of typing things now. I'm sure I could think of many more things, but I think you get the idea. So if anyone knows a guy that will comply to my specifications then send him my way! I probably won't date him because dating sucks, but I'll stare with fondness in my eyes.
