Work in Progress

You oughta hear the mirror in my house You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth Says I’m imperfect in every way: “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”/...But I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna shine and multiply I’m gonna fill up the great divide You’ll never break me with all the things you say “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”

Fantastic Day!

Today I went downtown with Sandy to see the CSO. It was rather exciting, because Pierre Boulez was conducting (we just discussed him in music history), and they were playing Stravinsky's Pulcinella (a ballet that's rarely played in orchestral form, from what I've read). We took a gamble and got student tickets, which are only $10 each. The only catch is they seat you wherever they have available, so you can get wonderful or wonderfully crappy seats.
We were on the main floor, about six rows in. Which was rather happy.
The performance was SPECTACULAR. =D
Afterwards, we ate at Bennigan's on Michigan Ave. Which was rather exciting, because we both remember last year when it was supposedly closing...as do my parents...I don't know why it was still open, but both of us were surprised. It was happy.
Before the concert we had some spare time, so we wandered around in Millenium Park. It was in the upper 60s, which was *glorious*! I got to wear a skirt and no jacket without freezing. =D
We caught our train with time to spare (which hasn't happened to me for a while, normally I'm running to catch it).
After coming home I decided to look up where we were sitting and how much those seats *actually* cost...
*drumroll please*
$84.
And we only paid $10!!!!!!!!!
=D=D=D
Oh happy, happy day...
Now I'm off to boring things, like laundry. =P

Odd dreams...

So last night I dreamed that I had cervical cancer. And my doctors were Meredith Grey and Christina Yang (from Grey's Anatomy).
Then it switched to helping Sarah make wedding plans (this is the third time that I've dreamed about Sarah getting married so far).
Then it switched to me getting pictures taken in my wedding dress on my wedding day.
Then the phone rang and I woke up.
...wtf, mate?
