Bad News: I had an incredibly bad day at work on Friday. Nothing seemed to strike me right and just another insult to injury it seemed. Todd and I had plans to see a concert at Innsbrook and I really needed a drink. We were late, it was crowded. Everyone in the world seemed to be there to irritate me. (Standing in my view, talking too loudly, taking a cell phone call, smoking, etc.) It was all irritating me. I am not normally an aggressive person but put alcohol on a bad mood and it can be interesting. I kept saying things at people that I wouldn't normally say such as "the people finding the need to talk is irritating me". The guy taking the cell phone call actually hung up. Lots of snide comments made. I knew I was not being a good date but just couldn't control myself. I did resist the urge to take the man's cigarette and put it out. I let my day at work effect my private life and that was irritating me even more. It was just a vicious cycle.
Good News: I was really excited about seeing Nickel Creek. I love their playing and Sarah Watkins has a very interesting voice. I wasn't as excited to see Fiona Apple. I don't dislike her songs, I just never felt inclined to seek them out either. Her voice complimented the fiddle, mandolin, stand up bass and guitar group. Her hit "Criminal" was played with a bluegrass twist. I was very pleasantly surprised at the interest I was taking in her music too. I especially loved her first song but I wouldn't be able to tell you the name if I tried. I enjoyed the music and wish I had been able to focus more on it instead of letting my bad mood get the better of me.
Six more weeks to my vacation!!!
