Feb. 5th, 2007 01:22 pmI cannot believe I didn't check out Joanna Newsom before. She plays a pedal harp and sings along with it, and she's like nothing I've ever heard. (Certainly not traditional, not that it matters). I saw a video for her song called "Bean and Sprout" on YouTube and now I have to have her albums.
Someone commented something like, "It's like the first time I heard Bjork--I knew I liked it, but I couldn't figure out why." *LOL* Totally different vocal style IMHO of course, but definitely has that taste of other-worldly that I can't get enough of. Yeah.
In other News: Going to see the Portland Opera's performance of Norma, with the same woman who I saw Faust with. Oh Yes. The plot is about a Druid priestess in love with a Roman. I listened to some sound clip on the Portland Opera website and now I can't wait.
I hung out with Katrina a bit this morning, and we're going to NW 23rd tomorrow. She's never been to Lush, bwah ha ha. I have a gift certificate from Christmas burning a hole in my pocket.
I got some old clothes she no longer fits. Several items, I have no idea where I'm going to wear them, and I don't care, including a very 20's or 30's-style black dress with a handkerchief hem and white strips on the edges, and a prairie-style dress from I think the 70's made by a brand called Gunne Sax. Matter of fact, in the video for "Bean and Sprout", Joanna Newsom is wearing a dress very similar. Ha! Anyway, I was thinking it would make a great dress for Oregon Country Fair. I was thinking about making an old-school bonnet to wear this year, so it works. I have no idea sometimes why my mind goes where it does. I mean, bonnets? WTF?
I think I'll wear that black dress to the opera. With my heels. Yes.
*looks around online* Fuckin' A. I missed her show in Portland, in early December. And it was at the Aladdin, a short walk from here. *curses loudly*
What else? Need to go to US Bank and apply for work. Thinking about applying for the carpentry apprenticeship program, because something that keeps occuring to me, is that despite any urge I may have to be a nurse, I really like having my nights and weekends to myself.

jenhowell's room, so that's where I am. Oy. And that situation isn't likely to change until we move, which is something that's definitely going to happen in the next couple of months. No, our landlord has no desire to fix it. Ugh.
