Another DR event went all righty last night. :)

Public speaking both RL and online is kinda nervewracking. It's mostly the wait beforehand that gets me though. Wondering how people will react, whether my facts are good. Once I'm actually there it gets better though.

At least no one could tell, or at least that's what they claimed, haha.

I was lazily poking at DR training this afternoon, but I think I'll get some exercise, come back for NWN2 (we're very close to finishing the first campaign now, but the battles there are nasty and it's pretty much impossible to rest and heal / get spells back) and then livestream with some online friends. I have a social life, it's just on the net... hehe.

My attitude this month is just to take all the relaxation I can get and do hobbies that are fun, not pressuring. Come Sept 7 I will be busy with college after all, so why not use my free time to de-stress, instead? It does mean rpol will continue to get neglected, but what can I do--something has to give! :(

On Friday we tried going to the Red Sparowes concert at La Sala Rossa.

Unfortunately, the venue was just... bad. Too cramped and the sound was terrible. Took forever for the first band to get set up and on stage, too, and then the crowd that came to see them got way too rowdy (really, a mosh pit in a room as big as an attic?)

Their music just sounded like a whole lot of aggro noise. The instruments just blended together, due to bad mix and acoustics. I couldn't really get into it at all. Heck, I can't even remember what the band was called!

My ankles were suffering (this was no sitting concert), too. So by the time Red Sparowes started setting up, I was really in a sour mood, and Jon was disappointed at the bad acoustics. So we just left without even seeing the headlining band. Pretty much a waste of money, unfortunately. :(

We did have a good time before that though. We went to the mall, had some yummy Indian food for lunch, and did some window shopping for birthday presents (my birthday is in four days! ack! and my mom's is... today! double ack!)
