down the rabbit hole.

how i "wasted" a couple of hours online.

watched tonight's episoe of glee (fox, 2009) -> like last week's, it was awesome as usual -> glee actors sing their own songs -> kurt (chris colfer) and rachel (lea michele) hit high Fs (amazing) while singing wicked's "defying gravity" -> how is that song really performed? -> watched "defying gravity" performances via youtube -> idina menzel performed the song with kristin chenoweth on broadway -> kristin chenoweth guest starred on an earlier episode of glee and is classically trained as a coloratura soprano -> one coloratura soprano role is the queen of the night from motzart's magic flute -> watched der hölle rache performances via youtube -> i acted in a junior high rendition of the magic flute as tamino -> chenoweth once dated violinist joshua bell -> bell played a number of pieces in the red violin (1998) by françois girard -> the red violin is one of my favorite films -> the story is apparently inspired by stradivarius's red mendelssohn (1721) -> the mendelssohn is currently owned and played by elizabeth pitcairn -> watched pitcairin's violin performances via youtube -> pitcairn is a descendent of major john pitcairn of american revolutionary war notoriety and john pitcairn, jr., founder of ppg industries -> elizabeth studied violin at usc -> man, were the trojans crushed by stanford in football last week (55-21) -> the bruins also crushed washington state (43-7) -> GO BRUINS!

whew.
