I'm on vacation this week at work. I can't say I have elaborate plans, just need to burn the vacation days or lose them. I've had faint plans, maybe to go to Chicago or something, but work seemed to make that difficult to plan and I had some sticker shock about what a few days would cost, what with the airfare and hotel costs (unless I stayed about a million miles from downtown). I just need to sort myself out and try not to waste the entire week. Unlikely!

CDs listened to today:

• Rufus Wainwright: Want One
• Luigi Nono: Como una ola de fuerza y luz
