No Don Giovanni this year

Delerium was awesome last night. They ended up playing a two hour set, which I was not expecting. We ended up getting there kind of late, since technically doors were at 6 and the show started at 7, but the opening act was a side project that I wasn't overly worried about seeing. The Axis looks completely different from the last time I was there. They've cleaned up the place a lot... I actually want to say that they moved the women's room to another place, but irregardless, they definitely redid it. The best thing was that Boston is smoke-free, now, so no more coming home smelling like an ash tray. I indeed might start steering less away from shows in town, now. They're usually less expensive and since I work retail now.

Speaking of, I start training tomorrow. It should be ok for now through Christmas, but I definitely want to see if I can get something else when I go back to UMass in the spring. Realistically, I'm not going to want to go to school for a full day, with a full class load, and then want to drive all the way back to the South Shore, through traffic, to work a 4 1/2 hour shift. It's not worth minimum wage. What I really need is to win the lottery or have a rich, eccentric relative that I've never met suddently die and leave me their whole fortune, including a mansion on the beach.

It's too bad I wasn't paid to be imaginative.

I did nothing today. I didn't feel really well and I've kind of had a fever off and on since I woke up (late). Missed soc class because I had a doctor's appointment, which I completely forgot to get a note about. The doctor's appointment really only confirmed that a) I still have low blood pressure, but the pills are keeping it at low-normal and b) I still have a little bit of a heart murmur. I knew both of these things. She had me schedule another appointment for three months and call if I have any problems. I'm basically all set with dizzy spells; I've had none since about two weeks into taking the pill.

Must remember to use free pizza coupon tomorrow before I forget about it again and it expires.

I am not going to see Don Giovanni unless some miracle happens. Because I suck, I never got my act together to check when tickets went on sale, so tonight, the night before opening night, there were no $15 tickets left and I certainly cannot afford $43.50. I'm a little annoyed with myself. I suppose I could get tickets to see La Traviata in March, but Verdi is definitely not Mozart. I'm mildly tempted, however, because the Teatro Lirico D'Europa has gotten phenomenal reviews. Realistically, seeing either La Traviata or Rigoletto would probably be as good. Rigoletto is kind of Verdi's version of Don Giovanni, as well.. Maybe I'll console myself with tickets to that. Realistically, anything more that $20 is out of the question.

Or I'll call tomorrow and see if there are rush tickets.
