in which I feel picky

If you really want to, you can hear preview clips of all the songs on Nick Cave's upcoming album Dig, Lazarus, Dig! at this website.  I shake my head sadly.  A new Bauhaus album comes out next week.  I am fraught with tension.  I am avoiding any preview clips so that I can have that fan girl moment of rushing home with my cd (I can pretend it's vinyl) and plunking it into the player and really listening.  If it's not good I will weep like a 16 year old babybat.

Watched Hal Hartley's The Girl From Monday over the weekend.  ( would you like to know more? )

Also watched The Place Promised in Our Early Days, an alternate history anime in which Japan was divided between the north and south following World War II, with the south being controlled by the US.  ( More about that )

Debating signing up for Asharah's workshop in March.  I should find out from her or the sponsor how essential a tribal background is.  I'd like to meet her, though, and I do like what she does.  If there's a show after the workshop, I might just go to that.

Spent the day pretty much alone at home yesterday.  The house is very empty.

Raks Spooki III

Save the date--it's the third annual Raks Spooki on October 19, 2008, featuring a workshop with the one and only Tempest!!!  It will take place in the usual location, the Regent Theatre Underground in Arlington, MA.

(do not send me a performance request now, I guarantee I will lose it.  Call for performers will go out in the summer :-)
