absence of music

I'm looking forward to a week or two of musical overload. The past few
weeks I have kept myself busy, in good ways, but away from those
recitals which I enjoy so much.

First, I can have fun late at night. Carousel showed that I can interact
with others so late in the day. /The Queens/ was so well done that I
stayed awake. (Background: I was falling asleep while walking outside to
the show.) And a couple of longer walks yesterday got me some much
needed fresh air.

Second, I can interact with complete strangers. Yesterday afternoon I
was in just the right mood and was quite comfortable approaching
persons. Now, where did that mood just go? And how did I get there in
the first place? If nothing else, my self-confidence got a boost.

Third, I became self-conscious again in dance class. Funny thing is I
knew what we were doing... save a couple of transitions from early on in
the routine. And two transitions out of 3.5 minutes is a good ratio for
me in a group routine.

Fourth, it's time to learn something about the music scene. Not around
drunks at night, but the industry which pumps out what they are
listening to.
