OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!
EITHER I SLIPPED UNIVERSES BECAUSE ALL MY POUTING MADE THE COSMOS FEEL BADLY FOR ME OR I'M THE LUCKIEST LITTLE IDOT THAT EVER WAS!!!!!!! (I did get very sleepy trying to read some John Locke this afternoon, for fun, despite being halfway through a pot of coffee and everything felt majorly in flux making me dizzy so I opted to nap. also though, I really am one of the most spoiled and luckiest little idiots ever when it comes to the Universe orchestrating happy surprises for me and giving me what I want at just the right time in just the right way. So could be both.) BECAUSE!!!! BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE!!!!! Remember me saying I had a sad the other night about missing George Winston's Milwaukee show because it was the same night as my theater tickets to APT and not thinking midweek solo drives to Eau Claire or Green Bay next week my smartest choices?! Well, I was also majorly pouting there were no Madison shows I could make work because he does love Madison very much and says so every time, even when he plays other cities. So today, my feeling sorry for myself dumbass decided to check HIS website instead of the Ticketmaster dates from the email I got Thursday night reminding me of the Milwaukee date I couldn't go to. AND!!!!!! AND AND AND!!!!!!! ON HIS WEBSITE!!!!! HE'S PLAYING MADISON!!! AT ONE OF THE SMALLER THEATRES IN OVERTURE HALL!!!!!! AND! IT'S TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!
Tomorrow night!!!!! I caught it in the nick of time!!!!!I didn't just barely miss it find out a day too late or anything stupid!!!!!!! I can still go so long as there are still tickets available!!!!!! 💖😍💖. OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA JUST HOW HAPPY IT MAKES ME TO FIND OUT I CAN FULFILL MY SELFISH WHIM OF A WISH TO GET TO SEE GEORGE WINSTON THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!
Squeeee!!!!! I need to double check tickets first though.... But omg yas!!!!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! The show starts at 7pm and Packers kickoff is at 7:20pm, but we've been playing poorly and both my heart and soul are in NEED of the healing of beautiful live piano music!!! Wait! What if! I should call my maman! And see if 1) she would go with me (otherwise I can go by my own dang self, wouldn't be the first time) if she wants and 2) since she dvrs the game if she could either wait to watch it with me OR save it for me and I could watch it Mon afternoon after my appointments and running to the east side for some skull shaped chocolates and other goodies from Gail Ambrosius.
O!!!! And!!! Also!!!
My magical mystical spoiled by the Universe dumbass who always gets what she asks for as long as she asks for it was also pouting that he was here at Halloween time not Christmas time because his Christmas compositions are so gorgeous and NORMALLY he's got his 3-7 Wisconsin shows between Thanksgiving and Christmas. (Yes I'm spoiled. George Winston used to live in Wisconsin and he loves it still has family here so he comes to play here for me every holiday season multiple opportunities for me to see him even though he only plays a limited number of shows every year.)and when I checked the dates!!! Somehow!! Magically!!! The Eau Claire date is now in December AFTER I get back from Seattle and not conflicting with anything else!!! And there are also Brookfield, Wausau, Minocqua dates now too in December after I'm back from the PAC Northwest!!!! So I will have four very drive ably close opportunities for George Winston Christmas time concerts!!!! O I'm such a luminously joyous soul about all of this right now over all these happy surprises of exquisite piano music all aligning for me!!!! 💖
SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I'm so happy right now that I just started happy crying at this realization and the promise of beautiful piano music in my future!!! And like, if you know me, it takes a lot of strong emotions for me to happy cry.
Okay. Check laundry and move it over if needed --> check overture tickets for tomorrow night ---> call my maman --> make dinner (yeah I know. Early 10pm and i haven't even started making dinner....just consumed coffee and tea and Reese's Halloween candy and apples since my eggs at brunch... I'll slice up some veggies make me a yogurt curry to balance that out just as soon as I figure this out about me being able to get my wish to see George Winston fulfilled tomorrow night!) Will order tickets tomorrow when not on phone. Unless the seating is nearly sold out then I'll drive over to work to buy them tonight.
OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I'M SO FULL OF THE MOST GRATEFUL GIDDIES RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! GEORGE WINSTON CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT HWRE IN MADISON!!!!!! 💖
Update: there are still a whole bunch of $45-55 tickets available up in the balcony of Capitol Theatre!!!! So even if I wait until tomorrow after I get my COVID vax in the afternoon, I should be okay to still get a seat even if it's just for me by myself!
Update 2: just checked with my maman and she confirmed to me that she had looked at tickets to buy at the same time she bought the Hadestown tickets as a surprise for me, but didn't think it worth the price for her level of George Winston enjoyment to spend $45-55 per ticket. Which is fine. I told her my memory was that both her and Crissy were willing to commit to $25-35 in Madison or Milwaukee to go with me for George Winston, but not more per ticket and no further drive. But she said that she wasn't sure how late she'd be wanting to start the Packers game but even if she watched the game earlier she could leave it on the DVR for me to watch on Monday afternoon then delete it. Unless it was another game really not worth saving to watch later.... Been a not great year for Wisconsin sports teams so far and alazard is now confirmed out with a shoulder injury....I'm feeling rather dubious if Packers may even HAVE a post season in the playoffs at this rate. So I currently have every intention of going to see George Winston all by myself tomorrow night at Capitol Theatre and I'll plan to order my ticket tomorrow have it at will call or head buy it when I get there given the number of remaining seats tonight.
YAY!!!!!! ALL MY WISHING WORKED AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE GEORGE WINSTON TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!! 💖 TOMORROW!!!!! BEAUTIFUL PIANO MUSICS BY ONE OF MY FOREVER FAVORITE COMPOSERS/PIANISTS!!!!!! TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!! O WHAT A HAPPY HALLOWS EVE EVE TREAT!!!!!!! 💖 I'M JUST SO HAPPY HEART FULL OF GIDDIES RIGHT NOW!!!!! Okay. Right. Time to eat something more than Reese's Halloween candy and orchard apples. As promised, I'll go cut up some veggies and make me a veggie Tikka curry. Or maybe I'll cheat and make a premade bag of Tasty But Jodhpur Dal and bulk it up with some garlic and onions and spicy peppers.... I should probably do the latter if I want to eat before midnight at this rate, lol.
And then after the dance party of one in the kitchen and eating some food, I'll put on some George Winston and curl up with a second steep of the Bombay Chai green tea and go back to reading these selections from The Empiricist Theory of Knowledge. Which, in all fairness is very interesting (it's the modern origin of the concept the mind is a tabula rasa and it is only what we experience and learned from how others define/explain those experiences for us that gives us knowledge, not intrinsic innate ideas from birth) and I've read it before but ages ago. Locke isn't nearly as tediously deadly boring as Hegel or Kant, it's just that I hadn't slept in over 24 hours at the time I was trying to reread it and when my body is overtired coffee actually makes me very sleepy. So the combination was too much and I wasn't really paying attention to the words on the page and my eyes kept closing on me so I chose an afternoon sleep and to go check on Henry after I woke up and moved the laundry along some more. But I wouldn't read Locke for fun if I didn't find merit in his writings and like the ways he stretches my own thoughts in new directions. Certainly would not be rereading him if I hadn't found his ideas good the first read through, lol.
