ok, so i’m home with the flu, which is fine because i just have to talk on the phone and write songs about trees. but instead, for the last half hour, i’ve been on youtube watching the oscar acceptance speeches and mildly weeping. i’d blame the illness, but this would get me either way. and tilda swinton is the absolute bomb.
Gotta take care of that flu, Veda. Hope you feel better soon!
I believe I stopped following the Oscars when I was 20 or 21, when Forrest Gump was nominated for 12 or 13 categories, and won, say, 5 awards.
I am so alienated, sometimes, that I have no idea who won what etc. etc. :-/
Anyways, be well and take care!
I’m just listening to “The Raft of the Medusa” on the CBC’s concerts on demand site. Talk about weeping! I am not even sure what you are singing about all the time, but it is bringing tears to my eyes. It must have been amazing to hear that choir behind you. It’s an amazing piece.
Try watching the “Young At Heart” videos on Youtube, now those will make you weep. You’ll sob that flu right out of you!
P.S. Tilda Swinton is definitely the bomb. Good gawd.
