Good god there's a lot of internets to catch up on when you've been doing stuff two nights in a row, especially when Talechasing is being so fabulously spammy X3
My iPod doesn't seem to be shuffling all that much. It's played three Florence + the Machine tracks in a row. I don't HAVE that many Florences.
Soooo yes. Thursday night I went to the Musica Viva concert Mum and Dad couldn't go to due to being in Turkey. There was minor panic in that I think I may have thrown out the tickets, mistaking them for tickets to something else I'd been to recently like movie ticket stubs or something. I fluffed around with Bass, who put me onto Musica Viva directly, but they needed the credit card holder to ring them directly to reissue tickets and then it'd be $3.50 per ticket. Credit card holder is in Turkey. But the amazing lady at Town Hall was able to hand write them out for me with a wave of her hand and an "It happens all the time. People lose them or just get down here realising they left them in their other handbag. No trouble at all, love!"
So yes. Would've gone with Anna P but the poor girl got an ear infection D: So I went with uni friend Alex instead. It was fabulous <3 Trio Dali are a violinist, chellist and pianist, two Frenchies and a Latvian, and they were great. Mum and Dad have been Musica Viva members for long enough that they're right in the front row, close enough to literally see the sweat on the musicians' brows. The chellist was especially into it, with these brilliant facial expressions to match what he was playing--the joy at the bright happy bits, stern and severe as the music got dark, surprise when things suddenly went BANG even though he was the one playing it. When he was plucking the strings he sort of bent forward like he was creeping around on tiptoes. It was fantastic XD Love a bit of classical music <3
Last night we just bummed around the city a bit. I reached another monetary target at my last paycheck, so went to my favourite shop ever, Ikeguchi, for my reward present to self. Normally I get beautiful jewellery, because I would absolutely buy them out if I had the money to, but this time I got one of the gorgeous leather-bound books that I've had my eye on for YEARS. Bigger than A4, made of beautiful paper, black leather cover and it is amazing. I'm not entirely sure what to use it for. I'm considering using it for my portfolio, now that I'm actually accumulating physical stuff rather than just purely digital, but not sure yet. I'll just sit and look at it for a while first 8D
Footy today~ woo!
