 Well, I can honestly say that the Midori concert last night was absolutely brilliant. Okay, I admit...I fell asleep about a half hour into the show, but it wasn't because I was bored. In all honesty I blame the hour and a half of working out before going that really did it. But luckily, intermission woke me up, so I was able to see the last half. But, seriously, it was really hard sitting through a two hour show when your but muscles are killing you. Damn my love affair with the eliptical machine!
And, it was totally embarrassing too, Jiabao dragged me out of the house before I could finish deciding on what to wear, so I ended up going to the concert in skinny jeans and an Abercrombie hoodie and flip flops. She was still wearing her work clothes, but lucky for her she was wearing her cute H&M sweater...And what is our luck? Nearly everyone was dressed up. Ugh, I made sure we sat in the back. There is nothing worse than being under or over dressed for an occassion. And why the hell was I wearing Abercrombie? If it wasn't enough public humiliation to be wearing my post-gym clothes...
Anyway, I can't seem to stress how impressed I was with the show. She played a lot of the classics, many I recognized, but then she just whipped out this really modern violin piece and I SWEAR everyone was on the edges of their seats. She was so Yoko Ono up there I could have died. She was flailing and plucking and swinging around...it was so magical...and the song! The song was amazing...but as soon as it was over she went back to being all stiff and classical...It was impressive, really.
And I cannot wait for Monday's gym session. I swear, I get cranky when I can't go to the gym...I sound like some kind of freak...but I've been picking really weird vices lately. But I guess being able to do something new, and something beneficial and somewhat social has been fairly good for me. And Angelika, the Ukranian woman that I work with has been coming with me, so we can Stair Master while we make fun of people and talk about cute lifeguards and how much ex boyfriends suck. Ah, I love her.
Anyway, I should probably call and see when I'm working tommorow so I can see whether or not I should go to sleep now, or stay up and watch Once, which I bought two weeks ago, and never bothered watching. But, i'll let you know how it goes when I finally crack it open.
