-Get haircut??

I want to just get up and go draw something kind of. But it seems kind of early to start goofing off and I'm pretty sure I can hear a circular saw running intermittently downstairs. This means someone's working on the kitchen. I'm most anxious about doing the bowings and fingerings because we have a lot of new music that I need to be getting on with. But hell if I'm gonna play crappy violin while somebody's working on the kitchen.

I'm going to be in a friend's wedding party in June. I've been putting off getting the special dress because it involves driving way the hell out somewhere. I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to buy it in store or order it. I think I'm supposed to go to the store and get fitted or something and they'll order it I suppose? Either way I have to go all the way out to Olney or DC. Olney is too boring and too far for me to want to go by myself and I would have to find parking if I went to DC. I'll figure it out. Maybe today I can drag someone to Olney. And I can get a haircut....Man I should've gotten up like two hours ago.

I started watching House of Cards for no reason. What I find most interesting about the show is the dynamic between the congressman (Kevin Spacey) and his wife (Robin Wright). I think the script summed it up pretty accurately when the congressman said "I love that woman more than a shark loves blood." They're both extremely successful, ambitious, and cutthroat. They've been together long enough that they've agreed to be of one mind and one intent, to act as a unit even though they lead separate lives. It's hard to see the love and tenderness in their relationship because they seem to love each other the same way you might love yourself, with unshakable faith and no need to prove anything to anyone. It's refreshing to see a relationship like theirs when modern television so dramatizes and glorifies infidelity. I don't really fault them for it because it's a quick way to play up conflict. I get sucked into it as much as anybody else. Infidelity always involves a lot of internal struggle and a lot of tension between characters, a lot of angst all over the place, and occasionally a lot of sex, so it's easy to get drawn into all the emotions flying around. I'll admit, it's interesting to me. But it's a cheap and easy way to ramp up drama. I admire House of Cards for resisting that temptation thus far. I have a feeling it might not last though so I'd best enjoy it while I can.
