Clean slate

A little while ago, I took down the "women" list from my sidebar, because they all failed to hold my attention. All of them, with the exception of Natalie Portman, had gotten married and had a kid. How boring.

Rachael Leigh Cook? Married. Hasn't even been seen in anything recently anyway.
Michelle Branch? Married her bassist, had a baby, then launched a tirade on her own website about how she hates the world because nobody supports her country music side project. She also hated collaborating with Santana. She's obviously psychotic.
Katie Holmes? Must I even go into it?

But I'm keeping Vanessa Carlton. She can actually play piano and sing, and regardless of her songwriting ability that's enough to keep me happy.

But I've decided I really, really like Imogen Heap. She got recommended a little while ago as the smooth-singing female half of Frou Frou, and her earlier solo stuff (which actually precedes Frou Frou) is really picking up in popularity. But do a Google image search on her. She's really pretty. She has the voice of an angel and she's undeniably very creative. She's got a new single on iTunes that doesn't even have her vocals, yet it's still beautiful and complex.

I think I gravitate toward creative types. My first date was with an actress, and I've since gone out with various singing girls and one girl who wound up a ballroom dancer. Maybe there's a New Year's resolution to be found in all of this.
