i’ll be home by saturday

We just got in from a Hayden concert. As always, it was a great show. It was in a church, and our seats weren’t facing the stage dead on, which looked like it could have been really bad. It turned out, we had pretty high visibility, except when he played the piano. We could only see a poof of hair on top of his head and his feet when he was twinkling the ivories. Is that what they say?

I think I like Hayden concerts so much because they’re simple. They’re exactly what you get when you listen to his albums. There’s never any surprise, unless he does something particularly new… like “play” the trumpet parts himself. Without a trumpet (Pretty awesome!). It’s just Hayden, and his awkwardness, and it works. It was the second time I was given Hayden concert tickets for a birthday, a totally good present, I think.

I wanted to post more during the week, but I ended up working every night until 8 or 11 o’clock, and just didn’t have the energy to do anything but curl up in the fetal position on my bed and die for 5 hours until I had to get up and do it again. I’m hesitant to talk about my work, and the culture of the company I work for. What I will say is that since my boss gave notice, and my closest coworker friend gave notice to finish up at the end of the month… I think there may still be time for me to do the same. Being a grown up can really suck with responsibility sometimes.

Whelp. Gotta go.
