I had a dream this weekend that I had to stay after school for a few hours, but I kept calling my friend to remind her "PICK ME UP BEFORE 7 O'CLOCK" because apparently they were having a freshmen activity at 7 and the parking lot would be full and I just wanted to get out of there. But, surprise surprise, she didn't come, so I went down to my school's basement and it was all rearranged (as dream-architecture usually is) and it turned out that Maira Kalman was doing a book signing down there, because in dream-world she had written this SUPER THICK new book about everything in the French Revolution and also somehow a combination with her autobiography, so I went down to talk to Maira and we were having a lovely conversation and I started to read part of the book, and I found out that the editors had worked in all these little Stallone-grade insults into the text (you could tell they weren't Maira's because they were printed in using Comic Sans MS) and I was getting really dream-angry for some reason... Where was this going? OH, RIGHT, JOANNA. Maira and I went together to Barnes and Noble (which is like across the street from my school so it made sense) to get coffee and books. And Joanna was working at the Starbucks there (in a fashionable dress, no less). It was weird, because I pretended I didn't know who she was and asked for ice coffee and I was about to tell her no sugar and no ice but then she was like "No sugar, no ice, I know" like she was psychic (which she probably is, not only in dream-life). Then she ended up coming along with me to this weird passage where we had to speak Elvish to enter (Maira was lost somewhere along the way)
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head. When he put me there in the back seat, and he said, "Jesus save me, Jesus save me."
Hahaha, "no sugar, no ice, I know." I imagine her winking or something after that.
I love how in dreams people just come and go, or change into different people, or are two different people, or are somebody who is somehow representing someone else, etc. and it always just feels totally normal.
And lo did Joanna say: "No sugar, no ice, I know"; and the amazement of the gathered masses did bring them to their very knees for indeed no sugar was desired and no ice was desired.
I had a dream once that I was shopping at Goodwill. I was looking in the high end skirts isle (for those of you unfamiliar, Goodwill is a Charity shop. They have different sections for cheap clothing and higher end clothing), and there was Joanna, admiring a powder blue skirt. It was very similar to a skirt that I have. Only it was an awful shade of blue. I walked over to her, and it was covered with tiny white skulls-and-crossbones. She announced 'I am getting it', paid, and left.
Of course, I have one aim, the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing.
Forgot to post this, but a few nights ago I dreamed I was seeing Joanna, but had been dumb and waited to get tickets. It was at this huuuuge theater and I was in the third balcony or something ridiculous like that. So I kept getting up and sneaking around the theater, trying to get closer. I got down to the orchestra level and realized Joanna had gotten off the stage and was in the audience doing a dance number? Apparently it was a Lady Gaga cover, though it was nothing I recognized. I just knew in the dream that it was a Lady Gaga song? And Joanna had backup dancers and everything doing some serious Britney Spears moves and I am just like "wtf is going on?" And then I realize Joanna is covered in tattoos. But I think they were fake/temp tattoos because she was "playing a character"? And she was just sort of like "omg, you guys, I am going to be sooooo ironic and cover Lady Gaga and have tattoos!" I dunno. Don't ask. I have been taking so many (herbal) things to help me sleep, I am going to blame the weird dreams on that.
I had a dream that she announced a new album. It had something to do with the number 4. If only I could remmeber more.
At least, I assume it was a dream - I sort of remembered it the way you remember something that happened in a dream and I checked here and it doesn't appear to have happened, so I guess it must have been a dream.
I haven't been around here in forever, but I've just had Joanna dreams twice in the past 3 days. The coolest one was Thursday night, when I dreamed a visual representation of the lyrics "butterflies and birds collide at hot, ungodly hours." I looked out my window and there were butterflies and birds flying around everywhere and running into each other. And weather-wise, it was also hot. And the color palette of the dream was very much like this poster:
Lots of oranges and stuff...I think they were Monarch butterflies in my dream, which I actually see in my garden all the time.
Then last night's dream was kind of bad and I almost don't even want to share...but I dreamed I was seeing her live and she was playing "Good Intentions Paving Company" but her performance was terrible! There was no energy and she seemed like she just didn't care. It was sad. I don't know why I would dream this! I don't think it would ever happen.
I had a Joanna dream about a month ago. I don't remember the contents at all. But lying in bed after waking up, I had the idea to screenprint a t-shirt saying "SENSITIVE BORE" on it. In fact, I think I will do that to wear to the show next time she's on tour. I can post a thread here first and see if anyone else wants one.
I had a NIGHTMARE that Joanna was playing in tampa again. I was all excited and got my group together to go see her. After the show, we went around back to see her. But while we were waiting, someone had lit a candle inside. The whole stage and building caught fire. I remember in my dream, waking up in my bed and my dad said that there were 10 deaths and he handed me a newspaper. Among the list of dead were a bunch of names I wasn't familiar with and Joanna Newsom-29 . I woke up curled in the fetal position, clinging to my baby blanket for dear life, with actual tears on my pillow. Worst dream ever.
Of course, I have one aim, the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing.
I had a pretty funny and random Joanna dream last night. We were having an old school sleepover, like you do when you're a kid and she was telling me all about how she has two kids, a boy and a girl, and how she goes into hiding when she's pregnant so noone knows about them. She was also breaking up with Andy. We went grocery shopping and then did some laundry, towels... that's it. Hahaha!
My husband had a friend over (just some random guy) and I mentioned Joanna Newsom. He said he thought she was "lucky" and when I asked why he said, "Well, let's just say she's not exactly talented." I lost it. And then, my husband AGREED with him! We got in a huge fight and I told the other guy he HAD to leave and my husband BETTER apologize once he does and admit Joanna Newsom is talented.
1) my girlfriend and I are in a shop, and Joanna is working there or something, sitting behind a desk. We kind of walk around and catch glimpses of her and occasionallys say a word or two to her. then my girlfriend starts whistling or singing monkey and bear or something, and Joanna says she must not sing that now as she's in the process of creating her new album and cannot be influenced by her "former self" haha
2) I'm playing football on a little field in winter with a bunch of ten year-olds when the ball is kicked behind the goal and I have to fetch it. Behind it there's another boy playing a little portable keyboard and trying to learn to play a song that he'll be performing at some point for his parents or something. After this we're on sledges down a steep snowy hill, and this kid has some speakers and he's playing the song and I realise it's Sadie! I stop the sledge and break down crying because of how beautiful Joanna's voice is and how touching it is that this little boy appreciates her and is trying to learn her song.....
