I don't want to work today, the shift starts at 4 and I'm supposed to get off at 9 but I have this horrible feeling that they will make me say later and close. Terrible!
So I have been writing, for fun, a musical version of The Devil Wears Prada. I don't care who has the rights (I sent letters to Weisberger and both her agents inquiring), I'm just over here doing it like it's my job. And in doing it, I've discovered that for certain roles, there are specific voices I have in mind. It's interesting...a lot of things I write I never have a person in mind for it, but so far all of the material for Miranda Priestly has been tailor-made for this girl from my school. Now I don't think she likes me that much, 'cause I made a really rude comment to her before I knew her, but honestly if I can get her to do this song for me my life will be somewhat closer to completion. The weird part is that I didn't even realize I was writing it FOR her voice until a few nights ago. For privacy purposes, we'll call her "Melisande." Now Melisande was a fierce Pennywise last semester. She's a voice student of Kristin Chenoweth and Kelli O'Hara's teacher. She knows what's up. And here's a link of her singing the gorgeous "Kissing You" from the R+J film:
Wasn't that awesome?
I'm going to go get ready for work, then grab an early dinner and go.
