The show this weekend was brilliant, as well. Nick was phenomenal, of course, and that Elvis guy is no slouch either.
Starting my weekend with a show like that probably was enough to keep me happy for months, but the rest of the weekend also was fun. I spent a relaxing Saturday running errands and getting stuff done before heading to the movie house down the street from my apartment in the late afternoon to see The Social Network. I am very lazy about movies and rarely see them in the theatre, but I'd say this film was worth it. I'm not sure about all that Oscar buzz it's said to be generating, but it was entertaining and well acted. After the film, I scooted to Tony Nik's to meet my friends Kurt and Janelle for a cocktail or two. After Kurt left, Janelle and I got hit on by some fairly young and very inebriated gentlemen, but that's okay. They were harmless. Plus, what else would two ladies expect in a bar on a Saturday night?
Yesterday afternoon I had my first voice lesson in about a month, and it went swimmingly. My teacher has moved his lessons to a new, fancy studio with fancy microphones. Singing into a mic makes a big difference, I learned yesterday. Especially if it's a high quality microphone in a fancy studio, and my teacher and I are wearing headphones. If I can incorporate everything I'm being taught and put it to use, there may be a "real" singer within me yet.
As my voice lesson was ending, the Giants had the courtesy to beat the Padres and win National League West Division title. Now on to the playoffs. And finally, I ended Sunday by cocktailing and gossiping about boys with my friend Christine and catching the latest episode of Mad Men before bed.
Every weekend should be like this. Heck, everyday should be like this.
