Ehhh... I usually have stronger opinions than I show in anon

In real life, I think I would want less people to know I have Crohn's disease. I used to tell everyone as a way to deal, but now everyone knows and I feel awkward about it sometimes

More people should know how I LOVE Nina Simone, omg

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:15:52 UTC

She's pretty fantastic. I'd be worried about you if you liked jazz but did not like Nina.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:19:22 UTC

My love for Nina is much, much bigger than my appreciation of jazz. There is a lot of crap jazz, in my opinion

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:20:15 UTC

The majority of today's jazz is crap. The old stuff is much, MUCH better.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:21:28 UTC

well, there is a lot from crap back then too. I like it a bit rawer.

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:23:15 UTC

But a lot of the crap from back then has already been sifted through, so you don't hear as much of it.

There's this jazz club in DC that does some brilliant live jazz, and it's mostly tributes to the old-timers, but in new ways. I love it. If you're ever around, I'll have to take you.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:24:23 UTC

That sounds cool. I'd love to, even though I'm not sure when I'm in DC again :)

I might go to my first opera on monday though!

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:25:18 UTC

What are you going to go see?

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:25:40 UTC

Salome

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:26:55 UTC

Ooh! Fun! Update us when you get back.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:29:27 UTC

I hope so! Me and a friend decided we need to see more theatre, classical concerts and operas, so here we go! If I go I'll let you know!

Have you ever been to an opera?

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:30:49 UTC

No, I haven't. I want to try, though. I was trained as an opera singer in college. Hated singing it because it was so bad on your vocal cords. But it was always fascinating to hear the music and the raw emotion that it evokes.

I'm jealous and will be living vicariously through your theatrical endeavors.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:33:26 UTC

for real? what did you study?

I am a little nervous, I've only seen Carmen on tv, and I have no idea if this is a good opera or not, but I like the story of Salome.

I imagine DC has some stuff like that, no?

doohickey November 14 2009, 20:39:05 UTC

I started off as a Music minor, but dropped that because I was afraid of performing. I ended up with just the Physics major and a billion and a half unfinished minors (including Music, Writing, Engineering, and Anthropology).

When I quit the music lessons, I was working on this song. I liked it, but it was really, really rough.

Yeah, DC has a lot, but it's prohibitively expensive and I don't have any friends who are really interested in it. They're all interested in more... physical pursuits. It's annoying because sometimes I just want to go see a performance and get me some culture! And I want an activity where I don't sweat profusely.

koffie_addict November 14 2009, 20:44:38 UTC

Oh that sounds awesome. I can't sing at all, haha

Well yeah it's expensive here too. My friends usually like way different movies and music and all, and I used to want to adapt to them, but now I'm just, fuck it, if I want to see it, I will see something, with or without people. and it turns out, there are usually people willing to come with me in the end, so yay!
