childish....maybe...but still fucking adorable.

those plans sound like a lot of fun. i'll be in nyc for school in late august. i'd buy you some smokes.

Chan Marshall is amazing in all aspects.

Chan is a very interesting character. I'd love to read her biography or even talk to her for awhile. I'm sure my life would be changed in some way from the experience.

Did you see her with the new band?

You plan your trips way sooner than I do. I usually don't decide I'm going somewhere until a couple days to a couple weeks beforehand. It makes for some interesting pricing options, you'd be surprised at what you find last minute. I'm way too impatient to wait months for something.

Lately I've been in the habit of just walking to the car rental place, and spur of the moment deciding on where I'm going for 24 hours. The last time I did that I drove through Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, the Oregon Coast, stayed at a hostel on Seaside and ended up in Astoria, OR (where they shot The Goonies!). It was rather awesome.

Have you seen Stealing Beauty? I only mention it because I just read your "Lost My Virginity" response. If you watch it you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for your comment. So very tolerant and open-minded of you.

*hugs and kisses*

NYC in the fall and winter is the best. Especially central park.

Don't you just love the feeling you get . . enjoying a live performance? Especially when you know the performer!

I love that you're making plans to go out into the world and experience things! You have a wonderful spirit of adventure, that will serve you well, throughout life!

There's a little tiger behind that innocent face, huh?

You know, I *think* that it's a compliment that they include your image with the tag-banning. I knew that you looked familiar...

You can be my BFF when you are in NY

That parka is a proper old fashioned one, isn't it?

Cat Power live. Wowowow.

cute and childish, indeed!
and i commend you for your adventurous travel plans. just as long as you let me visit you in Gaviotas!

Yeah, it's a movie directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, one of my favorite directors. He did The Dreamers, and Last Tango in Paris. That alone warrants a watch, but there's a scene in it where a very young Liv Tyler loses her virginity to a Mazzy Star song.

It also has one of the best soundtracks ever made. It was thanks to that movie that I first heard Portishead, Liz Phair, Mazzy Star, Sam Phillips, John Lee Hooker, etc. I can't believe it's been 10 years since it came out. I'm getting old!

ooh montreal, eh? montreal winters have taught me that parkas are useful! perhaps not in the august-october time frame, but for the rest of the year tee hee.
