After I busted out of bed to find the source of the steady scraping sound and swore like a sailor when I realized the snow removal company was...well, removing snow (shakes fist at winter), I flopped back into bed.
I really wanted to to try and get back into the dream where my amazing boyfriend had given us an adorable bulldog puppy but the dog doesn't want to go to the hockey game and hey why would we go to a hockey game when we're at your sister's wedding never mind she's already married it's just a party-pretend-wedding thing and why am I always under-dressed for these things and isn't this Maine?
Weird.
Speaking of weird...last night's concert was fantastic. Cirkestra is a five piece band with an accordion player (and former circus clown), fiddler, sax/clarinetist, tuba player, and percussionist. They did klezmer, folksy pieces, along with zany tangoes and their trademark: creepy circus waltzes. I kept thinking of Gogol Bordello for all it's Eastern European gypsy wonder... but minus the ska, punk, and reggae, and with some caberet, tango, and jazz instead. They rock.
Argh! I want a piano...and I want an accordion. What do I do??? Craigslist has tons of pianos that are just about being given away...but I'm wary of a lemon that needs refurbishment. Reputable music stores have plenty of options...starting around $500. And accordions don't come cheap either.
If only I'd been in the right place at the right time, then I could have scored this.
PS: I know it's a typewriter, but I love me some Ms. Fey.
