hopes, dreams, coffee
Been listening to Joanna Newsom pretty much constantly the past two days. It’s making me feel really whimsical and dreamy. Also, I wish I had gone to see her last winter when she played at the Church.
I’ve been feeling f’real sweet today, like the world is made of sugar. Again, I blame all the Joanna Newsom I’ve been listening to. I feel like putting on a toasty sweater and making cookies. Actually, I am going to make some vegan chocolate chip cookies tonight. That’s gonna be awesome!
I have been fantasizing about living in a city; in New York, or Portland, or Seattle, or back in Philly. I just want to be somewhere with culture and things to do, good food within walking distance, shows and galleries and steam and cafes. Somewhere where it gets cold and snows, where it rains sometimes and I can look at it from the safety of a snug apartment, or a rowhouse window. I never pictured myself in the south. It’s all wrong. It’s hot and everything is warm colors, all sepia-toned and orange, like the entire landscape is smoldering. This is a cultural wasteland. It’s not for me. I’ve always known I’d go north, and I can’t shake the feeling that this is just a pitstop before I continue on with what I actually need to be doing with my life.
Anyway, I can’t wait for snow and I know it won’t snow down here. It’s a very hopeless feeling.

I saw your blog on Google Alerts. Have you seen the video of that concert at the Church? I posted a high quality video of the entire concert at the following link: http://stage6.divx.com/user/polliwog/video/1136687/Joanna-Newsom-Live-at-the-First-Unitarian-Church
you can either download it, or it can be played online if you have broadband and the installed DivX webplayer. Anyway, I just thought you might be interested. Love that Joanna!
