Thursday, July 20th, 2006I re-did the About Aggro Femme page after having stolen this “about me” template thingie from Hunter and filling it out. There are also some links in the links section. I got rid of the friends page and just listed (some of) you people on the About Me thing. So, look at it. And make me happy.
Amend “Oops.”

ABC’s The One: Making a Music Star
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006So ABC’s coming out with this American Idol-esque show to air during the summertime, and a boy I grew up with, Jeremiah Richey, is going to be on it. The premiere airs tonight on ABC (check your local listings… I’ve always wanted to say that) and vote for him, even if he’s not the best one.
Animaniacs: It’s about time!

Johnny Cash: American V
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006So a posthumous release from Johnny Cash came out a week ago, American V. I’m reading Cash’s autobiography, plus a book written about his spiritual journey, The Man Comes Around, by Dave Urbanski (reviews to follow not-so-closely). So this cd… depressing. And from what I’ve read, Cash usually liked to keep his music simple, and this is rather embellished for what I gather are his tastes. BUT! I still like it. He sings “If You Could Read My Mind” by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s my favorite. The latter book contains a quote by a Tom Dearmore, taken from an article he wrote for New York Times Magazine entitled “First Angry Man of Country Singers”: “He is singing what’s inside of him, searching in a haunting way for a note that isn’t there.” I LOVE this quote, it describes his voice gorgeously.
Rewind several hours:
I was reading The Man Comes Around at 3am at IHOP. My waiter had dreads and we discussed books, Johnny Cash, road trips, Australia, and the spanish language. It was fun, nice, something you read about. I left him a $10 tip.
