what can i say about chicago and pj harvey?

i love them both.

i had a great time going out there to see the other rachel, and i got to go see her live in action as a brand new art student at the university of chicago. it reminded me that there are these little worlds out there, for example this little world which consists of the art department at uofc, where everything is self contained and hyperimportant to the people in that world, but if you’re not involved in it, you don’t even think about it of know it exists. to the rest of the uofc it’s just the crazy old building without wireless on the edge of campus. and to the rest of chicago, it’s just that part of town where uofc is. and to the rest of the country, it’s just chicago, right?

i also got to meet rachel’s cousin lixian finally. it’s almost like i’ve already known her, as rachel’s been telling me about her and her about me for years, and we even went and visited her in hong kong back in the day (although we ended up missing her). but she’s also going to uofc, as an undergrad, and it was great to finally see how adorable she is in person. plus, she sang us a couple of songs, one off of her little ep, and i agree with rachel: she’s going to be famous someday! she’s got a great voice, and a really great sound. not a great website, but you can’t have everything.

and pj, of course pj was fantastic. she just out and out rocked. she sounded great singing her new stuff, and even threw out a brand new song in there, and came back for three encores, which means she loves us twice as much right? since the first encore is a gimme…

oh, and i finally saw dopamine, which was the movie that hmc was supposed to be coordinator on but had to leave because of that car accident the first day of her job way back in the day. it was horrible. it’s the worst movie i’ve seen in a long time. i don’t know if that accident is a blessing or not. i’m going to say no, but it’s still horrible.
