No voice, much gestures

January 24, 2007

My supposed-to-be-today song performance is sadly not taking place, as a nasty winter flu came and took away my voice. This is actually the first time I have ever lost my voice completely and I must say it has been quite an interesting experience. Nevertheless, after two days of mimics and clapping my hands, I was happy to wake up and notice that today I already have some voice back. I sound much like Tom Waits, but that is actually kind of cool. The doctor I visited yesterday however strictly forbade any talking let alone singing for the next few days, so I’ll just continue using my hands and expressions for a while.

The good news is that the flamenco is doing wonders with my neck. Since twisting it nastily in December (department christmas party, dancing, Doris - saynomore, nudge-nudge wink-wink), I have done all kinds of stretching and exercising and paid cartloads of money to various physiotherapists for them to make everything ok again. And now it seems that I have found my remedy. I am so happy that wawing my hands and making dramatic postures is so healthy, considering how fun it is!
