tuesday - june thirteen, two thousand - 9:52am
the concert was a lot of fun. paul played some lou reed for me at lunch yesterday so i would know who i was going to see. i liked it, he's kinda mellow. i think at the actual concert it seemed a little louder and harsher - but that could've been because it was live. paul thinks he was a better artist when he did heroine - it's possible.
we went to the rock bottom brewery beforehand and had a drink and a burger... we missed the entire opening band - but, we didn't really care to see them anyway. it was cool, we sat out on the patio and watched the world go by - then it started to sprinkle, but we were under an awning, so we stayed put - it was fun. the orpheum is a really cool auditorium. it's like an old-time theatre... very old and antiquie looking, like victorian.... plus, bonus - they serve all kinds of drinks and allow you to take them inside the auditorium rather than drinking them out in the lobby!
it never really occured to me before - but, a guitar is a really phallic instrument, isn't it? i mean, the straps are exactly the right length to put the strings right in front of the crotch, so that every pluck, strum or stroke goes directly over the groin. it's kinda sexy. plus, they had this unusual instrument that i've never seen before - it was sort of like an electric cello without the bottom portion - it was just the stick part with the strings on a stand - and it sounded really great!
i wish it weren't raining today - i was really considering getting off my ass tonight and doing some roller blading. maybe it will get nicer by the time i get off work. i'm turning into big lazy fat ass.... i need to figure out a way to motivate myself... i have no idea what to do. it doesn't seem to help when someone else pushes me because then i just take it as an insult - randy always used to push me to workout and i just resented him for it. i need to motivate myself, but i'm not sure how. it's funny, i have a pretty strong will when it comes to a lot of things - like when i quit smoking, but not with this, man. maybe i have an easier time taking something away from my habits than adding something to them.... i don't know.
maybe since my clay class is almost over i can get in some sort of an aerobics, yoga or spinning class on wednesdays. start with once a week and work up to three eventually. i haven't received another catalog in the mail though for the community classes. maybe they take a hiatus in the summers.... alright, you're probably sick of hearing me try to muster energy. sorry, i'll shut up now.
