Saturday morning I helped a friend move, it was one of the quicker moves I've been a part of in my moving caree. Most of the day went by in contemplation, with a little retial therapy (new CD walkman for the car). Sudden plans materialized in the form of dinner at the Burren, with drinks and snacks. Eric, George, and I continued on to the Joshua Tree for a drink, and discussion of future trips to Noir or some "classy" bars.
I ended up at Shelter, and was extremely surprised by the fun that was in store. I wasn't expecting much from the set at all, but Hellraver threw in a lot of old school industrial along with some newer noisy stuff, and it proved to be just what the doctor ordered. There were also more familiar faces out than I expected, which was really great. My brain behaved, I stuck to my limits, and the result was a Big Win for the evening.
Sunday was spent in more contemplation, a win at Warhammer, food shopping, and a visit with my oldcommon law husband roommate DaZhuang, who's in town for a whirlwind visit.
My attempts to get to work on time were foiled by a fire at the T station, but the trains were up and running again after a minimal wait. Still, what's going on with the MBTA lately? Two major outages and a fatal crash within two weeks. Enough already!
After doing a little poking around on YouTube today, I am digging up all the classical music I listened to growing up. A little know fact about me is that for much of grade school, I only listened to classical music. (If it wasn't played by at least a 50 piece orchestra, it was crap!)
So far I've dug up and listened to
Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Bach's "little" fugue, and toccata and fugue in D minor, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Night on the Bald Mountain, and Danse Macabre. Ode to Joy and the Unfinished Symphony are still amazing and emotionally moving pieces. I'm looking forward to what else I'll discover.
