Pause

It's been a busy few days. On Thursday, I and a friend drove to Nashville to see Badly Drawn Boy in concert. An amazing show from first to last, though we had to leave before he finished due to the excessive lateness of the hour - after midnight Central time with a 2 hour drive ahead of us. I've liked his music ever since Matt introduced it to me two years ago, but this concert really renewed the music for me. I've been listening to The Hour of Bewilderbeast, Have You Fed the Fish?, and the About A Boy soundtrack a lot for the past three days as a result, and really enjoying it. Some songs, like "River, Sea, Ocean" that I hadn't really appreciated before were refreshed by hearing Damon Gough live. He also played a lot of stuff from his upcoming album, to be released in March.

On Friday, my parents arrived in town. I had class or other commitments most of the day, but they came up to campus for dinner, and then saw the school play. Saturday morning, I went down to Greyfriar's for breakfast. The actors' call for the play was at 12:30PM, so I headed back up the mountain and spent the rest of the day either getting ready to perform, performing, tearing down the set, or at Todd Willison's place for the cast party. A full day, but a good end to what's been a big part of my life for the past three months.

Now I have to go to bed. My parents are coming to church with me tomorrow, and then taking me and some friends out to Big River Grill downtown. Time for sleep...
