More on last weekend’s trip to Western Mass

In somechicksings’ journal, I discovered that not only are photos of the picnic/concert at the peace center online here, but that you can download an MP3 of her (and Goose’s) performance! (There’s also a video clip, although I haven’t watched it yet.) The sound quality isn’t very good, but it gives you a sense of her style, and it’s not bad for the poem, which was her second piece (and which I’m really happy about having a recording of, since reading it on the page just is not the same).

On a slightly related note, had a great time yesterday helping ivyvigne carry some things upstairs and meeting her new housemate apassingfeeling (and apassingfeeling’s adorable little pug).

...and today

Today after work I met C., a good friend of mine who doesn’t have a LiveJournal account (I gather she communicates with people by actually talking with them! How palaeolithic!) for dinner at the Kebab Factory, a yummy Indian restaurant in Somerville, followed by a walk around the Fellsmere Pond in Malden. It’s not Jamaica Pond, whose nearness I very much miss from living in Jamaica Plain, but it’s nice. We had very good and (for me at least) valuable conversation, and I discovered that I must without fail see Shanghai Noon one of these days.

And now I am exhausted, so it’s time for bed.
