Human Dreamlike Behaviour

Night moves fast.

I made plans for [livejournal.com profile] jellyfishfur to come visit me, but there was a problem with accomodations in my apartment (due to the fact that Sonia, Dagmara and Kevin were there as well.) So we all thought it would be ok to stay with Bjork and her family.

I tried finding Keleigh (jellyfishfur) but Kevin told me she was already at Bjork's, with Dagmara. We tried calling her mobile phone, we tried the land line, but nobody would answer. I felt a bit apprehensive, but also uncomfortable with such an imposition: Bjork would not like 5 people staying with her.

We went to her basement apartment and rang the doorbell. Bjork answered with her husband. Keleigh came running out and hugged Sonia, saying "I'm so glad to see you". Dagmara also came out and we all chitchatted. Bjork and her husband only had eyes for Kevin. Kevin kept promising he would send her a copy of his comic book Suzie the Space Girl. Bjork then said: "we had the energy of 12 children".

I was feeling very nervous, wanting to say something to Bjork, feeling a bit dorky. As we climbed the stairs to the sidewalk, I said goodbye but they ignored me. As we were walking away, Dagmara let out a sigh of relief and said that Bjork was completely mad. Bjork would drink glasses of water and say she was swimming. To which Kevin explained a game he had played with Bjork, called Arking, which consisted of going around with a shovel and digging holes in the ground. [livejournal.com profile] jellyfishfur looked incredibly relieved that we had saved her.

björk is worth excessive amounts of money, and/or the selling of the soul. she's so amazing live.

i saw her in worcester, massachusetts for homogenic (µ-ziq opened), then at the wang theatre in boston (matmos opened), and recently in paris (peaches opened). whether she's in a stadium, opera house or small club, she's smazing. her control of space is phenomenal.
