Kimberly Saves the World (or at least, hopefully, the forest)

[mangofandango]

So, my Kimberly, aka [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], is involved in a protest at Cornell to save a small forest from being cut down and made into a parking lot. There's an article about the protest in the NYTimes today:

(you have to log in to read it, but you can use username: ifmud, password: ifmud )

There's a website about the woods and the protest here, also. Kimberly has been in and out of a tree, on the phone with various important people, threatened by workers with chainsaws, and generally being amazing and running around like crazy for quite a while now, so I hope she saves the trees soon so she can get some rest! *hugstoKimberly*


In other not-so-news, I was tagged. And because Meredith told me to, I must meme. :)

Six Songs That I'm Into at the Moment

1. Shawn Colvin - Trouble (specifically, the live Lilith Fair version - much better than the album version, I think)
2. The Killers - Mr. Brightside (and really, the rest of the album :))
3. Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.
4. Dar Williams - Iowa
5. Tori Amos - Parasol
6. The Dandy Warhols - We Used to be Friends

I'm not tagging 6 people, as is the custom. Sorry. :P

The homework has been beaten down, at least partially, and partially is good enough for me for tonight. Wahoo. :) Goodnight, Livejournal!

Hooray for "Feel Good Inc."! Have you heard the rest of the album? I'm considering a purchase.

Also, hooray for Colvin. And did you ever go to Lilith? I dreamed of it but always missed it.

I have the rest of the album, but have yet to listen to most of it. The parts I heard were good though - I just can't give much of a review until I've listened while paying attention. :)

I did get to go to Lilith Fair, and it was amazing. Well, I was like 16 and stil had to go with my mother and my uncle as well as my boyfriend and my sister, but that was okay. I saw Imani Coppola, Heather Nova, Rebekah, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, obviously Sarah, and undoubtedly other people (I think Me'Shell Ndegeocello was there too, but I'm not sure because I didn't know who she was at the time at all). I remember eating cherries and running back and forth trying to catch all the women I wanted to see (they were playing on a couple different stages). It was great. :)

I'm assuming since celticberry is living in a tree somewhere, she wouldn't see a comment from me, so please tell her something along the lines of "Way to go! I wish more people did this sort of thing!"

Will do! We're going out to visit her this weekend, assuming she's free and on the ground for a while, so I can even relay messages of support in person. :)
