So perhaps it wasn't the Lasagna after all ;_;

current mood: stressed

It is Raphael's turn to do the purging this time. He has been sick since 2 in the morning. Haven't had much sleep. I don't really know how to cope with throwing up. This is HORRID! ;_;

Poor little harling. He seem to be coping with this a lot better than me. Gabriel doesn't mind since he gets a day off. I can't take Raphael out since he throws-up all the time... hopefully this will ease up by the evening.

Until it does it is drink little and often policy.

BLECH! :(

In more pleasant terms - MercuryChaos over at InsaneJournal posted the following link in her journal and I am indebted to her for a new obsession - oh yes! A girl can never have enough of those! :D:D:D

Radu Marian is a sopranista - which I heard of before but never really gone far into investigating. This means he has an endocrinological condition which in his youth stopped his vocal chords from developing. As a result he can sing the most beautiful soprano (Not Falsetto - this is his natural singing voice and it is GORGEOUS!) allowing him to sing cantatas written for castrati... basically - BAROQUE HEAVEN!!!

Male Soprano FTW

I am a baroque whore - I could always play baroque one or two grades higher than my actual grade because it feels like I am breathing it. Not sure why ... I can't really think of life behind it.

And this is what I will be listening to in between moping the floors of puke, sparying all the furniture with fabric freshener and doing a load after load in a broken washing machine that doesn't spin anymore .

Or at least I WOULD if any of the Amazon sites actually SOLD any Radu Marian CDs ¬_¬.

*sobs*

Since he's from the Republic of Moldavia and all, I'll look in the stores here and see if I can come up with any album... doubtful, but it won't hurt to try.

I think the reason that CDs are not available on Amazon has less to do with him being Romanian and more to do with Male Sopranos not being as popular as they were in the 18th century ;_;.

In some ways we are so set up in what we believe a certain gender range should be.

People just go EEP when they hear Men sing Falsetto and Sopranista the same way they go EEP at Japanese ladies singing low in Takarazuka...

My odd tastes are sometime very old fashion XD.

I know he has a CD and he figures here and there on collections of Baroque cantatas ... sadly not ones that are available on MP3 via amazon or I would have bought those...
