Its nothing personal but I guess they cant get hurt by somebody that they dont really know

So yes. With my favorite pastime gone camping for the weekend [and I say that with nothing but love], I thought I would have a lot of time to get things done that I had been putting off since school ended, but no! Of course, I ended up getting sicker than all hell and have spent the last few days laying either on my bed semi-sleeping or on the couch semi-sleeping [see, I can use my computer from bed whilst I semi-sleep, so that isnt a problem].

But this is sick is bloody crazy! Its the worst from about 1am to about 10am in the morning. I get all feverish and freeze [even though Im wearing like 4 layers, plus 2 blankets] and all the bones in my body ache and its impossible to actually sleep. But then 10 o'clock rolls around and I start to cool down and shed some layers and actually sleep until like 1:30 or so. Then I get up, and everything still hurts, but its bearable. Right now, Im very dizzy and my throat feels like I have just smoked a 1000 cigarettes. Fun times!

This didnt stop me from going to the show at the Yardbird Suite last night. Micha drove so I didnt have to worry about getting all delirious while driving home. It was fun times and I only really got nauseous during the break when we were all up and about. As for the show itself, I am copying and pasting this review from an email, because I am too tired to bother writing a new one [even though Ive probably slept more in the past few days than all of you combined]. Enjoy:

The show itself was crazy and I really doubt you would have liked it, because, well, there were points where I didnt like it [and neither did Katie and Micha]. It was divided into two halves and I thoroughly enjoyed the first half. It was all Brett Miles [saxophone extrondaire] doing duets with various people [the best ones being the duet with the drummer which was INCREDIBLY funky [best part of the evening.. he played his beer for godsake! It was crazy!] and the guy with the diggeridoo] and then he had a few monologues and such which were pretty impressive. The second half was him and his band playing while interpretative dancers did their thing in front of the stage. Im not one for interpretative dance usually, and some of it was not that bad, but a good portion of it was defiantly not that good. But they defiantly overshadowed the music, which I thought was horrible. The music itself, in the second half was all one 'song' and it was good in parts, but it was too chaotic for my tastes and would have been much better with a little structure. Katie adequately summed up the whole second half as "numbing", which is what it became after about 40minutes of it.

But this drummer! He was amazing! I just want to emphasize that a little more. Not only did he play his beer [and it wasnt even a bottle a beer but a glass of beer!!], he played his drums with maracas, which may be something drummers do all the time, but I had never seem it before so I thought it was pretty creative and it sounded incredible. I think his name was Merit Tyler or something like that. I was just going to check the program when I got home to actually find out, but the program says John Logan.. which doesnt sound anythign like Merit Tyler, so Im going to assume that its wrong. I will maybe call the Yardbird tonight and ask, because I would love to know if he is part of any other projects right now. I hope so. Amazing.

Quick closing question: Which instrument [excluding the standup bass, of course] is the sexiest: the saxophone or the chello? If you must, then you can say something else. Your help in resolving this matter is appreciated.
