We like the same things and I like your style

On my way to meet [livejournal.com profile] lwoodbloo for what was a lovely lunch, I stumbled over some uneven asphalt and fell in the street. At the time it was no biggie, but now I'm hurting in several places. Getting older is awesome. At least I managed to get away without a trip to the ER this time. The weird thing is that it didn't really start to hurt until about an hour and change after it happened. Fun times.

Actually fun times were had last night with [livejournal.com profile] teany at the She & Him show at Webster Hall. Granted, that place is enough to make anyone hate humanity. (New Orleans Girl said: "Webster Hall: Where Douchebags go to meet their soul mates." Snerk.) Despite a really sucky crowd, to be in the middle of, the band was great. Apparently Zooey lost her voice last night, and that's why they had to reschedule the two shows that were supposed to be at Hiro Ballroom into one giant show. She was in fine signing voice, but wouldn't or couldn't speak. Instead she gestured, waved, danced, bowed, and held up signs. "Hello New York!" was one, "You all look great! You really do!" Was another. "Hi!"was probably my favorite, because she just randomly held it up towards the middle of the show. She was the very definition of adorkable. After seeing her live, I also wonder how different the movie Walk the Line would have been if Zooey had played June Carter. She's a MUCH better singer than Reese Witherspoon (which isn't hard, truly), but I don't know how she would have handled the America's Sweetheart stuff. (I could easily see her telling the woman in the five and dime who gets on her case about being divorced exactly where she could stick her Bible, so I'm not sure. But I do think she would have been interesting casting.) I also heard rumors that Yo La Tengo was their backing band on Conan last night. Is there any truth to this? Anyone know?

Anyway, I'm going to wrap up a few odds and ends here and go out to get my pedicure. YAYE. I'll be celebrating tomorrow's EIGHTY DEGREE weather with lunch in the park avec the marvelous [livejournal.com profile] antheia, whom I have not since in an obscene length of time.
