Dear All I Hope this finds everyone in fine health, May i open my email with a tirade against banks. I hate them, may i emphasise i H.A.T.E them and it is a bitch that one has to use them. I went up to bank money and check balance and apparently they took €25 for yearly admin charge. BAH HUMBUG which shouldn't happen considering i am student but anyway i hope this finds everyone well. Summer is great isn't it especially since it got *gasp* into double figures in the last couple of days. As i look out the sky is blue with some puffy things in it. Which is nice. I am currently listening to wandering alone on repeat for some reason. There is something about that song that makes me think of south america or spain for some reason. I have noticed that they have gone =very south american jazzy for the album which i ain't complaining ablout. SO four more albums to come. This suprised me greatly. I had heard rumours of a split from jeepster and the whole isobel fiasco sort of put doubts in my mind about the band an whether they would actully continue. but lucky for us they are. I just hope they play ireland before it is too late. I read with interest Mr Hendersons ESQ. post. It is incredible how cynics (like most of this list) can get bowled over by an emotions that are rather basic. What always like to read is peoples definition of love. Having never really experienced it in a romantic sense i don't really know. But i do get the feeling that it has to be a gut feeling that is reached over a period of time. I don't know if i have mentioned this before but i have got to go to three weddings in the next three months. None of the brides and grooms are over 25. One bride will be a day over 20 when she walks the walk and another will still have 2 years to complete at college. The bride who will be 20 whom i have known since she were 10 and i were 8 has been in love with 4 people. Each one of them has been * the one* until something better came along. the poor bugger she is marrying she was in love with within a week. Is that sustainible love. Unfortunatly i know this girl and know she has convinced herself because she felt she at 19 was on the shelf and if she didn't grab a man quick that would be it. Seeing those sort of relationships makes me want to slap each individual couple witha wt fish for some amount of time till they see some sense. So Dublin- i was up there this weekend and i think i love it even more than i did before. I only spent a couple of evenings of the weekend in the city in some of the pubs but i spent some time in Malahide up north of dublin and bray which is south of dublin which are both conviently located on the DART line Both seaside resorts living in faded glory of what they once were, Still nice towns , nice pubs and nice women. The witness festival held in dublin seemed quite good even though i couldn't make it.one of my friends phoned up during the dandy warhols to let me hear them and they sounded ok- i don't think they as a band suit festivals. right i suppose i should really go and enjoy the days of my young manhood plague and pestilence and love to all jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
