friday.
Tired. To the bones.
But the day ended on a good note, so to speak. The concert was really good. The Prokofiev really reminded me exactly how much percussion there's represented in Romeo and Juliet, but some of the parts were chilling (Dance of the Knights and Tybalt's Death especially) and I think it was excellent.
However, not as good as P. Vasks' Musica Serena which initiated the concert and it was amazing. The vibe was otherwordly and the resonance of the violins felt like it tapped directly into my nervous system.
I also got my birthday gift from the friend whose birthday gift it was that we went to the concert in the first place. She gave me an anthology of queer literature from South Asia (she's taking a course in Indian literature at uni) and I can't wait to dig into it!
While I was downtown, I bought an "Easter egg" for my gf (surprise, it was actually a bag) and she was really happy with it, so all in all, my afternoon and evening have been wonderful.
But even wonderful things drain me and I'm also just worn thin now. I will need tomorrow to recuperate.
Before I go to bed, though, please have this amazing piece of music and share your opinion with me, when/if you give it a listen! It's definitely up there with Arvo Pärt in profundness.

I think I have a feeling about music, but that's really all it is. A feeling. I know nothing about playing instruments or the technical shit in music at all. My gf is so much better at these things than me and I learn a lot from her, but for now I can really feel music if something about it speaks to me and I've cried more than my fair share of tears over good (especially classical) music. I guess that's how literate I am?
When I began attending the ballet, I hardly knew any classical music, so my exposure to it has also helped a lot.
Anyway, that was me rambling when I really just wanted to thank you for your input! I'm glad you gave it a listen!
