Despite the snow accumulation on the ground and the rather cold temperatures (it's minus TWELVE with the wind! Which is... TEN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.), and despite my ITALIAN TEST in the next, oh, 4 hours, I am in a good mood.
Why? Let us examine.
1) I FOUND MY BUS PASS, after spending an extra five bucks on the buses last night. It had fallen out of my jeans when I collected my clothes to take them to the bathroom to put on after I took my shower. And NC had even lent me $20 to buy a weekly pass, because I AM SO BROKE right now and did not budget for the additional expense of, you know, A BUS PASS. Or the $5 I wasted in transportation yesterday.
2) The concert last night was AMAZING. I am not the largest Sarah Harmer fan ever, but JB introduced me to her a couple of weeks ago, and I really do like her stuff from her album "You Were Here". Her new album, "I'm a Mountain", is very cool, too. The concert was in a tiny venue, maybe a couple hundred people were there, and it was general admission. There were a bunch of tables to sit around, and through TP's Parking/Table Karma, we wound up RIGHT IN FRONT of the stage. I was, literally, eight feet away from Sarah. It was AMAZING. I felt horrible, not knowing all of the songs, but the ones I did know, I was very enthusiastic about. When she played my favourite song, "Coffee Stain", I (and several others) broke into cheers and applause, and I was even able to call out the name of a song I wanted her to play. She played my three favourites ("Coffee Stain", "Around This Corner" and "Lodestar", all from "You Were Here") and ... it was a very different feel than any other concert I've ever been to. It was very mellow and relaxed, but energetic at the same time. It was GREAT. And her clarinet/piano player is PHENOMENAL. Having played the clarinet for a few years in high school, I really appreciate how difficult it is to do what he was doing with it. And I do love the sound of the clarinet. I love how all these different instruments and voices are melded together in her music. You should all go check it out on iTunes or what have you.
3) Did I mention I found my bus pass? :D
4) Despite not really having studied for my test all that much yet, I feel rather comfortable with the present and the conditional tenses. Sort of. :)
5) New Lost tonight. WHEE! (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drsnicket -- you may call me after the ep if you're up/etc because I will definitely be awake and we must discuss Lost!!)
6) No DSL again as of yet. But this whole dialup thing is making me go to bed earlier than usual. Maybe it's not such a horrible thing. ;)
7) I'm going to a NaNo meet tonight (or that's the plan, at least), but am leaving at 8 to make it home for 9. :)
On that note, I MUST study. :)
