Sunday
Another bulleted list for today (because bulleted lists rock):
- Met with my book club (Women’s Issues and Social Issues) this afternoon. We discussed Woman: An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier and next on our plate is The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Too few of us were in attendance and we’re looking for new members. If you’re in the Portland area, enjoy reading books of this nature, and are up for meeting once a month at a local coffee house, let me know!
- Plowed through five more folders of UK photos. Not too many left to go through and then I’ll be posting them. (Finally!)
- Heard Sarah McLachlan’s new single, “Fallen,” on the radio today; it’s from her upcoming album, Afterglow. It was just kind of there. Not bad or anything, but not really worth listening to again - just a bland, easy listening, blend right into corporate radio, there of a song. In my opinion, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is the only truly good album of hers. None of the others have matched Fumbling for sheer emotional resonance and consistency.

Definitely agree that Fumbling Towards Ecstacy is a great album, but Sarah McLachlan offers some other great material on her new album

Looking forward to seeing those UK photos of yours, Emily! Hope that you still have plenty of happy memories. Roger

Em, if I didn’t have my monthly writer’s group, I’d soooo join your group. But with school, etc., only time for one fun extracurricular event…
I agree about Sarah McLachlan and Fumbling Toward Ecstacy (which I adored when I bought it back in what, ‘95?). Since then I, too, have been sorely disappointed by the newer stuff coming down the pike. Uninspired did you say? I don’t think it has anywhere near the complexity of “Obssesson” or “Ice Cream.” She’s one of those promising artists that never panned out for me.
