Life lessons from the Sith Academy:
If you're having eating problems, don't drink - no matter if the wine is awesome and sweet and only 4 oz.
Also, the shoes may look good with the outfit, but if it's 34 degrees and raining and those shoes are thin slippers meant for spring and summer, then find another pair (even if that other pair looks blah with the outfit).

The concert was fine. I'm still not a Mellencamp fan, but I have a new appreciation for his music, especially his more recent stuff produced by T. Bone Burnett (who'ssort of a really big deal). Our seats were AWESOME (seven rows back from the stage), and the set was gorgeous and intimate. The concert itself started with a documentary about the new album. I found the film pretentious (on the part of John Mellencamp, not the filmmaker), and perhaps revealing in a way that wasn't flattering or intentional. Also, it was long and dragged, but I liked the camera work, which was done on 8mm with a several old hand-held cams. It made the quality organic and intimate.
It did me good to go to the concert. I may not be a fan, but the act of going out and attending an event raised my spirits immensely, and I feel a little less intimidated about going out.
Anyhow, I woke up this morning feverish and out of it, staggering around weakly when I had to crawl out of bed for whatever reason. I'm better now, but it's almost mid-afternoon, so I feel like I've wasted most of the day. Maybe I can find something productive to do.
(Excited aside: In March, Garrison Keillor is coming to town!!! Fuck yeeaaah! I love A Prairie Home Companion, and while this isn't the show itself, I like Keillor's wit enough to want to spend an evening listening to him)
