la valse

Okay so scrap tomorrow's Rachmaninoff concert, it's basically sold out. Which is heartbreaking. I don't know when I'll ever get to see Piano Concerto No.2 performed live (and only by the New York Philharmonic, mind you. I'm very partial.) siighhhh and it was Hans Graf's debut concert. All-Russian repertoire.

However, as always, there is a redeeming light that glimmers far away. Very far away. Next-March-far-away.
Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" (which is my second fav Rach piece), Ravel "La Valse," which is beautiful, Schubert "Symphony No.5" and a Schoenberg piece that I don't know, "Variations for Orchestra, Op. 31." March 22-25, 2006.
This time, I'm going no matter what! I won't hold out until the last minute waiting for another classical enthusiast only to be disappointed by raised ticket prices and a sold out theatre.

So there.

Went to Cooper Union's final art exhibit to see some of Mike's work yesterday. Saw drawings of Raf everywhere, he must be a popular model!
Saw exactly how sobriety provides for an intensely awkward "mingle"
Had din with Justine and Van @ pane e cioccolato. Afterwards, I cannot express how utterly depressing it was to know that Hayden was 2 minutes away across the park, but that I had to walk by it only to go to the train station that would take me back here. To Jersey.

Aujourd-hui, am deliberating whether or not to go into the city. Triple is recording today, downtown, so I wanted to drop by (and check out the studio, it might be useful next year) but the original plan was to go into the city early today and do some job-hunting. But I woke up late. So I'll go Friday. (Is Friday a bad day to go give resumes out? And is Mon-Fri considered a "full-time" job if the store is open 7 days a week?) Anyway. It's cold and miserable out so I don't know if I want to leave the warm comfortable house. But I probably should.

In fact, I should stop babbling away on this journal and leave right now.
