canadiandiamondOff to town for the day today. Wasn't planning on going in, as I'll be gone all of next week for a bachelor party that's a weekend away with the guys in a cabin in central NL with snowmobiling and the like. I've never really driven one so here's hoping it goes well. XD But yes, the other day a friend asked me to come in and I haven't really seen him much lately so I'm going in to have supper and hang out awhile. Pre-plans include maybe seeing a movie with my sister, as The Artist is playing again in there, and after I see everyone I'll probably head home tonight. If I stay in there overnight I'll just sleep in tomorrow and linger in the city which will a.) cost me money, and b.) mean I won't get into the office tomorrow like I want to do. So we'll see, should be a good day anyway.
I'm also queuing up what I want to listen to on the drive in. My experiment with rap continues, having picked up Nicki Minaj's first album and Dr. Dre's 2001 earlier this week. The former I mainly got from hearing her on some of Kanye's songs but, well, honestly a little underwhelmed at the album on the first spin. Granted, that's only one listen, but it's nothing like I thought it'd be. The latter I know I've heard many, many people talk about before, I just never was into rap so only getting to listen to it now, haha. We'll see how it goes I guess.
When it comes to music, I've been trying to push my boundaries a bit. I've always been pretty open minded about music to begin with, at least I like to think so; country, rock, pop, metal, indie, alternative, I've always listened to a bit of everything. Certain things like classical, though, and rap, and awhile ago jazz (though that's been on hold with rap taking over lately, heh), I've never really tried out extensively, so here I am. Classical scares me the most in a way because there's so many different versions of things out there, it's a little daunting. This is probably because my normal M.O. is to just buy up whatever there is of an artist I like and give it a shot, but with classical there's so many different people doing versions of things, and so much of it, you can't really do that. Having only so much money - and only so much finite time to listen to things - prevents that, heh. I dunno, maybe I'll turn my ear back to that next, we'll see. Main thing is so far I'm really enjoying the new things I've set out to listen to lately. :)
