Well of course November 13th is my birthday-Fall is my favorite season,scorpio is one of the most passionate signs, and the lucky(or unlucky depending on how you look at it) number 13 to boot. What other day would I have chosen to come into this god forsaken place? Happy birthday to me.
Michael and I also had our first anniversary last week and he bought me the book" Half-Broke Horses" which so far has been a fascinating read. The same woman also wrote "The Glass Castle" which is one of my favorite books, so I have been waiting awhile for her to release another book.
I am also intrigued that Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" was made into a film and I just saw the preview last night. The cinematography looks as beautifully bleak as the book. The best part is that the quietly understated and gifted actor who plays lead was married to Exene(of X) and publishes poetry. You can thank Michael for that bit of trivia and swoon over the guys brilliant performance in "Appaloosa". Yes indeed we are film nerds.
I have had a nasty cold for three weeks that may have turned into a sinus infection so no singing progress on the record lately, but Michael has been working hard on drums/programming, some interesting sounds as well as guitar for the 8th song we are working on.I layed down some live drums over it and a scratch vocal and its coming along nicely. The song is called "High Horse" and my lyrics were inspired by watching the film "Mississippi Burning" and being deeply disturbed by the self-righteousness, hypocrisy, racism and lack of humanity people can have towards one another. We are happy with this batch of songs, even though the recording process has been slow-going.
On a more serious note, Michael's father was hurt real bad in a mining accident this week. Please send your prayers his way. Thanks all. Much love-Katrina
