Friday and Saturday provided me with events to inspire me to do more work on my thesis. Shame I have been positively narcoleptic since Wednesday night.
The music department regularly offers concerts with the Symphony. This year there has been a series called "Con Ojos Americanos". And on Friday, the featured piece was Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons. The concert started with Mozart, which at first annoyed me until I realised what a nice contrast it was to the Argentine. The Four Seasons was excellent, a little tweaky since their seasons are reversed. It was distinctly Argentine, despite the lack of bandoneon or percussion.
Last night, the theatre history department (all 3 of us) got together to eat pizza, drink Malbec and watch tango. It was marvelous! We sipped wine and chatted all over the place. I felt exceptionally cool as I realised how much I actually know about tango, and watching other people watch it.
Now I eat brownies and try to get inspired to do more work.
