Kris Jou is "nightdreamer"

August 9, 2007

I didn't know how i.ph notifies people about new blog entries, so when I first tried to notify my friends about my new posts, I opened my email and saw the notification's appearance.

It looked like an email message from someone completely random. If I haven't told a few of my friends that I sent the "nightdreamer" mail, they wouldn't know. They would've thought it's another one of those mails that promises p3n1s 3nl4rgm3nt. Gee, life is like a box of inconveniences; you never know how much you'll sweat.

The reaction someone in receiving a mail from nightdreamer may have is "Who the $#@% is nightdreamer?!" I put my name in this post's header to confirm that, yes, I am nightdreamer. Now you may start screaming, "Who the $#@% does Kris think he is sending me email like that?!" *Sigh* I don't even know how to answer that besides saying "I'm an egotistic and pretentious ass and like all asses I need love. :D " So there.

Apologies for these inane rants. I'll post a better thought of material soon. In the meantime, you can listen to the song I've inserted at the end of this post. It's Norah Jones' beautiful rendition of Vernon Duke's standard "I Can't Get Started", from her participation as an interviewee in Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. The album is rare and also very good; she plays standards, and tells a few stories about herself in it. It's worth tracking for any Norah Jones fan or, put simply, for fans of great music. Anyway, the song is among my favorites, and it contains a line that I can relate to (that is, had I been a better poet):

You're so supreme

Lyrics I write of you, they scheme

Anyway, without further delay, here's the song. 

I Can't Get Started
