Bought a copy of the sheet music for Paganini's 24 Caprices for about 1200 ft and a little framed, matted portrait of Paganini for a little over 1100 ft (about $6).

I also saw my ideal concert dress today. Somehow it's inherently wrong for me to fantasize about my ideal concert dress when, realistically, there is a snowball's chance in Hades that I would ever give a concert as a soloist, but I still do it. This one was simple, strapless in black satin with a band of sequined and embroidered lace across the top and a slit up the front which had red satin lining peeking out. Beautiful, simple, with red satin as a sort of Paganinistic prima donna/virtuousic kick. *sigh*

I should go practice now.

Oh, there is a longer version of my day in my other blog if you're interested.
