It's Sunday...

Sundays are nice around here, as it is the last day I must be away from my workshop and out in the world to furnish myself with lucre.

Work is generally pretty slow on Sundays, and I'm able to watch other fans of digital entertainments go through some of my favorite diversions. Today it was Final Fantasy IX, Oracle of Ages, and Super Luigi Galaxy.

Last night I went to see Muse in concert and it was...astounding. An experience, and one I wish I could share with you, all of you, even those who will never read this. The songs were well chosen, the band was fantastic, multi-talented, and their showmanship is...something else entirely. The stage design and the flow from one set to another was astounding. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite as powerful as the way the graphics worked with the band, the music, and the light show. I do believe they employ a wizard of great skill.

Before Muse played, we were treated to a live show by Passion Pit who, while I enjoy them, needed a different venue. I do believe they'd be much more entertaining in a small venue as the singer's voice was mangled by the acoustics of the Staples Center. The music, though, was enjoyable for the most part. My hat's off to one of their band members too; he was playing a snare/cymbal combo, a mixing deck, and a keyboard throughout the set at various times, even switching mid-song. Very impressive.

Now, I relax. I have an Exalted soiree to arrange on Tuesday and on Monday I'm being visited by a beautiful woman who seeks to be entertained by and in turn entertain my company.

For now, I shall leave you with your thoughts, dear reader.

Good faith, good learning, good night

The Magus
