my sweetest downfall

fatty summed regina up best, i think: "the more i'm here, the more i love her, but the more i'm here, the more i hate this place."
have you ever noticed that singer-songwriter-piano-player-types always have the worst crowds? do people just completely THROW common courtesy out the window when they go to shows? i don't get it. besides the loud i'm-wearing-a-suit dude talking his way through the show about how he only rolls in BMWs and the teenage girls texting everyone, then checking everyone else's texts and squealing, to the guy who asked my friend to excuse him (finally! politeness!) and then stood so close IN FRONT of her that he STOOD on her FOOT, i had had it.
it's a new venue, great sound, but still terrible. it was so packed--no one could see. i ended up watching the show from--get this--a tv in a lobby. because no matter where we walked in the room, we couldn't see anything. a small tv. with basically no color on it. yep, i watched regina on a 27-inch tv in yellow and black. mm hmm. glad i spent $30 for that! her last show was no better (though not her fault). loud, loud, loud people next to me (counted 'em: 10) sang through every show. so i paid for karaoke, essentially.
i'll never understand that. a loud rockin' show, sure. sing and dance. a quiet one-girl-one-piano show? shut up. shut up. shut up. unless it's a singalong at the end. that's different.
regina spektor took some growing on me, but now she's definitely one of my favorites. i'm shocked at her range, her sense of humor as she plays complex pieces, her lyrics, and her pitch-perfect voice. probably one of the best technical musicians i have had the pleasure of seeing live. love her. love her!!
today i came home while the sun was still out. amazing what that did for my mood.
also, i am having thoughts about my dress. new thoughts, remaking the bought-dress thoughts. i had a dream about it. hmmmm. i can't really talk about it here though which is the hard part, since william doesn't want to know. so again, i can send out an email if you let me know you're interested in my thoughts. :)
i keep meaning to rise above the daily grind posts, but i just don't have the juice right now. once recovered from crazy hours, i promise some quality blogging.
