So, it's been two weeks since I updated this just about (to those of you who swear otherwise, shhhh...).
Concert itself was very good, though. Having been a fan for over two decades now (woah, really?), I've long been acquainted with Dylan's music and, naturally, I've managed to see a couple videos of him playing live. I knew that the songs would be arranged differently, and, having heard his recent albums, I knew that his voice would only be as good as 50 years of cigarettes and substance abuse allows.
That aside, I was not disappointed in the concert at all. Dylan played a wide-range of material, from classics like Forever Young and Like a Rolling Stone to treats for the hardcore fans like Ballad of a Thin Man and Simple Twist of Fate. Dotted between songs I knew were a couple, undoubtedly b-sides or songs from his 90s discography, which I wasn't familliar with. Still, Dylan managed to be captivating-- charming even-- and the band was top-notch.
Let's see... what else is there to talk about? I went mountain climbing with yulong and valerie last weekend, and we spotted monkeys. Um. It was Easter Break this weekend, but I didn't go out much; I got sick toward the end of the week and decided to spent the long weekend relaxing and doing some light reading and writing.
Gotta finish my paper by (I'm assuming) the beginning of next week so I'll be kicking it into high-gear for the remainder of this week. I'm still not sure what exactly I'm going to submit, but hopefully after logging at least 20 hours on both this week I'll have a much firmer idea.
And that's about it. Somewhat anxious, unsure as usual but lately it's been highlighting itself. Will trek on, as always.
