I am sitting in my kitchen, waiting for some things in the dryer to finish, smelling my dinner cooking, listening to some Billie Holiday. Her sad, beautiful voice is perfect on this cold, rainy night. One of my all-time favorite songs is the one above. I'd like to be dancing to it right now.
This next song is another favorite, this time by Ryan Adams. Yesterday I ran across this version of it, with Laura Marling providing back-up vocals. It gives me chills.
Oh good, I got up from this to chop an onion and managed to cut two fingers. I own THE CRAPPIEST knives ever. I hope my sister got my note about getting me a good chef's knife for Christmas. (Hint, hint, Alix.) Anyone want to come chop an onion for me? Enjoy the music. I'm going back to it. Wish me luck.
