Ooooh lookie... after midnight and I didn't turn into a pumpkin! I just got home. The wine was outstanding (not that you care). Jean-Paul was excellent tonight. Normally, at this venue, he plays a lot of tango to fit the atmosphere. When I showed up tonight, things were clearing out and he and I were just going sit and talk over some vin, but some people we knew came in and stared throwing money around to get him to play some concert pieces, so I got to hear him perform a few things I rarely do... Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue for example. He is fucking amazing. If you have any idea what kind of time and talent it takes to master that piece, then you can appreciate what I am saying. Holy shit... just unbelievable. Ok, I am planning on RoShamBo-ing myself to decide on whether or not to take a hot bath before going into a coma. I am so tired. I am turning the phone off. I am turning the alarm clock off. I am disconnecting the door bell. I am locking my cats out of the room since they have this burning desire to knead bread on my chest in the morning (they're so cute!). I am going to sleep as long as I possible can... and then... I am going to sleep some more. Bon nuit.
