Terrific weekend... best in a while.
The Dresden Dolls concert was really good. Really good. Honestly, I have sensitive ears, and generally loathe loud noises, which is why I typically don't go to concerts (yeah, I know, insert Fark.com standard picture of crying baby here). Truthfully, my ears kinda hurt by about midway through. Still too good of a performance to leave and miss. Whining aside, though, it was interesting. On the CDs, Amanda seems to kind of carry the two, but it's completely different live. Brian just drastically expanded my notion of what it even means to be good at playing drums.
Anyway, I won't dwell on that too much, since I don't really have much in the way of musical vocabulary; I'd just end up repeating the same superlatives over and over again, and nobody wants to read that kind of fanboy crap.
The weekend itself (the concert was Friday night) I spent at J's place out in Western Maryland. She and her boyfriend have moved into their (i.e. her) house, so I got to see that. It's really nice. A little run down, but only because it's so old, which gives it a sort of charm. Her boyfriend pretty much works all day every day on his art in the shop, so that more or less left me there to play husband, which I found surprisingly appealing. People who know me wouldn't imagine I'd enjoy helping J care for her daughter and take her to the park, etc. but I really did. R still thinks I'm destined to marry J in some distant future. J,of course, thinks the same of me and R. All my female friends expect to eventually pawn me off on one another. Whatever.
Anyway, spending time with one's best friend is nice is the moral here. I'm feeling all love-y now. That's the only downside to spending time with J: I get all affectionate but can't really express it, since we're not formally attached in any way, and I think she mostly ignores and tries to forget the fact that I feel that way. Family stability for the daughter and all.
It's ok, though. R will be down here tomorrow or the next day in advance of our New Orleans trip, and I'm sure she'll be happy to accept my shows of affection. As often as I may complain about having emotional attachments to so many women, every now and then I get to see all the girls I love in quick succession, and then it's great.
