Underneath It All
Nov. 3rd, 2005 11:54 am
Work is sucking a little less than it has been since my glorious return from bronchitis. The workload sure hasn't decreased any, but Charles was largely off my back this morning and I've kept my nose to the grindstone so far. Now I'm just taking a small break between internet orders and tackling the stacks to blab about nothing at all in particular.
I got to actually *role-play* my whimsy character last night, which was...strange and new and exciting. I'm reminded about why I dig the faerie/dream-creature angle so much. There are a lot of small things about the way all things Dreaming is handled that appeal to me greatly. More on that later, perhaps; everything's existing as a soup in my mind, more or less.
Been in an odd mood lately, for various reasons. Relationships are things I'm still puzzling over, and I suppose I'm trying to find the right mix between making sure my needs are being met and being supportive of the needs of other people. I'm not even sure what my needs are, half the time, so there's the rub.
I miss Tube a lot. I think about him every day. I wish I could go to CA now.
Popped in Musical Chairs by Hootie and the Blowfish at work yesterday. I didn't think much of the album when it came out; in fact I remember distinctly thinking that it was the time that Hootie had finally 'lost' it. Of course, the album tanked and the band split up so Darius Rucker could star in horrendous Burger King commercials and dream of one day having a legitimate solo career. Thankfully, they're back together now with a new album called Looking for Lucky. The cover art is really neat, and I've heard the first single (this awfully cheesy 'let's get together and be brothers' feel-good song called "One Love"), but I'm in no position to commit to buying it yet. I have the other three albums to tide me over until I come into a spare $20, though. I'm also really interested in hearing Fiona Apple's new stuff. I've read/listened to a few interviews with her, and she seems a lot happier/less pretentious than she was. This makes me glad, because she has a great voice but a horrible disposition.
On a slightly related note, she was part of this class of female singer-songwriters who just...imploded sometime in the late 90's - early oughts. Remember Paula Cole and Sinnead O'Connor and Abra Moore and Lisa Loeb and Shawn Colvin? Ah yes, good times, good times.
