tired

missed last night's post as we were out until almost 3 am! ON A SCHOOL NIGHT! I am too old for this. we went to see Yo La Tengo in Utrecht with one of A's colleagues and his girlfriend. it was a nice evening, tho I'm not sure what I thought of the band. They were good, but there was absolutely no energy from the stage. Not sure if that makes sense but usually live shows are nice because the band has a stage presence that livens things up. This was different. They were good, but just performed in a very insular manner. I guess I would too if I was in a successful act that with 20 years of experience. Enjoyable but not memorable.

also LOUD. so loud that my ears hurt. we ended up leaving before the encore (our ears were tired), having a few too many beers, missing the train and getting home just before 3 am. ON A SCHOOL NIGHT.

now it's friday and i'm heading to bed while i can still move.

tomorrow is knitting day in Rotterdam. wish me luck.
