ugh
The cheapest tickets to Tori Amos's two Sydney shows are $100.
I love my country for many things, but the staggeringly high price of tickets to imported musical concerts is not one of them :( No Tori for me.

BUT in more cheerful news, my mother & brother are in town because of the Australian Figure Skating Championships. I watched my brother's long program last night, and it was such a good skate! His steps and spins were all fantastic and he didn't get any deductions, and he missed his double axel but didn't double-foot the landing so his points were still okay, and he landed a fantastic double-toe double-loop combo, and the judges completely fluffed up the comparative presentation scores because of some inexplicable bias for another guy whose skate was pretty mediocre, grr hiss. Some of the boys in his division had gorgeous choreo and really interesting spins, though; I really love watching the Nationals because the ACT has such a tiny amount of male skaters.
And then this morning Mum & I went shopping in the city and she bought me a strapless Kenji Urban summer dress <333 It has CRANES on it. I will take a photo of it at some point.

...also, yeah, those ticket prices are ridiculous. I saw Tori when she was in Canberra, and it was something like that, too.

...possibly I am just going crazy.
