today i had to submit to an exam as part of the application process for my new health insurance. i gave two vials of blood.. seeing my blood drain into the vials was kind of hypnotic, after i recovered from the initial needle stick. now that's done, i should be insured within the week.
today at work we had more meetings for christmas carol. it's eating a hole in my soul. there are so many entrances, exits, interiors, exteriors, ghosts, tricks, and furniture that has to get on and off... aye me!
tomorrow is rufus. i'm so excited i feel i might blow up. i've seen him once before, when we got standing room right in front of the stage - there might have been 25 feet between me and rufus. they are general admit tix at the vic in chicago - i think this time we may opt for actual seats; he's playing solo and i expect it to be more chill which would be nice to have seats to kick back.
in other music related news, today i whipped out bjork's vespertine to bring to work today.. i haven't listened in a while because i was never able to really get into that album. i thought maybe i needed some time away. i was mistaken. i still can't listen to the whole thing in one sitting. i miss her dancier stuff, including selmasongs, which i love. her earlier albums, up through homogenic and some of the selma tracks were more like thunderous, rolling, beat-driven soundscapes. i miss that with vespertine which reminds me more of a toked up jewelry box. there are a couple of tracks that i don't mind, but on the whole it's not my cup of tea.
that's my spontaneous pseudo-review.

you know what vespertine is excellent for? driving at night, especially in the winter. it's got that crystalline, icicle vibe for me, and it's great at night.
i've been doing that a lot lately!
