Quickie Update
...Because I have to be up again in eight hours almost entirely so I can get Jo up in time for her job interview, because my clock is the one with the alarm.
We went to see NIN in Hartford Tuesday night, which ended up being really awesome. We had the super-cheap seats (which were actually super-cheap - $25), which I learned are open-air at this venue. This kind of sucked when it started to rain, but ended up being pretty good when it started to thunder, because at that point they let us into the regular seating, which was a lot closer. First opening act sucked (Peaches), second would have been pretty good if they weren't eardrum-splitting loud (Bauhaus). Then NIN started, and I had a surprisingly good time. I'm only a really, really super-casual NIN fan (the tickets were so cheap I couldn't really say no), and even I had a good time - knew, oh, probably about half the songs they played really well, and a handful more sounded vaguely familiar. It probably helped that a lot of the songs were the really well-known ones - I mean, who hasn't heard 'Hurt'? The visual stuff was also really well done, so if I didn't know the song, I just kind of went 'Oooh, pretty colors'.
Today was spent largely playing video games, along with a two am walk, and visiting Grace at work. Not much else. I
...And as always, 'short' ends up being 'long' for me when it comes to posts. And that walk really tired me out, I think, because I'm feeling a bit incoherent.
