Personally, I was stealing the neighbours' wireless internet connection before they wised up to the scam, ending my sweet sweet free bandwidth and, thus, my frequent posting freedom. Oh, the humanity. So...how bout that rerelease of everything you already have and are not too thrilled about being suckered into buying again for packaging reasons? Pretty awesome, eh? Seems like the only time folk get hepped up about b&s stuff these days is when they can subtly brag about their pre-release hookups. And I guess it's not like anyone can say, "My favourite new track is Slow Graffitti, as you will see when you get *your* copy, many months after I've enjoyed mine." Or maybe I'm just jealous. Actually, I like the pre-release reviews that the sinister illuminati tantalise us peons with. I guess I'm just trying to incite some good old-fashioned drama, involving pithy and cutting remarks about one's person and/or writing style that stay just this side flame. But too bad for you, my belligerant bunnies, cause I already know my person and/or writing style is crap. Sucka! In other news, I started a wildly successful band, proposed to my boyfriend and have secured a spacious two-bedroom flat with floor-to-ceiling windows and all mod cons in the first urban colony on the moon*. And I will be running the first (and most awesome) club there. We dance in low G to songs written in the key of G. The club is actually called F##, but it's just a marketing thing (and, if you know your musical notation, F## is actually G in disguise. Thank you, Mrs Normandeau, childhood piano teacher). A lot of the songs we play have to be tweaked a bit to get them to conform to our key-of-G trend, but due to a convenient legal loophole, Earth's copyright laws will not apply to us until 2052. So, in fact, *I* will be hearing ALL the new tracks as they're remixed and rereleased, making me so much cooler than you it's like I'm exposed to the vacuum of space and you're suffocating under a blanket of atmosphere and greenhouse gases. I just hope there are neighbours with wireless internet that I can steal from on the moon. You wouldn't BELIEVE how much broadband costs per month up there! Vicious price gouging if I ever saw it... But before I take possession of my awesome two-bedroom spacious moonflat with floor-to-modular-ceiling windows and all modular mod cons, I will be moving to Melbourne over the first week of September to live a ghettofabulous life while the moon details are being worked out (legal issues, zoning considerations, and some titchy problem with the windows venting internal atmosphere when you open them...I told them not to install screens!), which I'm very much looking forward to. As it happens, the boyfriend is Melbournean (a Melbournite? Melborean? what the fuck is the term??), which makes ghettofabulous living much more fabulous, I bet. Also, according to Kim Stanley Robinson, we *should* be living on the Moon by now. What's the hold-up?? And also, weren't we promised HoverCars like five years ago?? I keep asking these questions, and the shadowy men keep shooting me with brain darts. I don't get it. What is tsjaklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll (sorry, brain dart) There is no mystery. Everyone return to your predetermined life roles. Wait!! There are no predetermined life roles! We all have free will!! WE ALL HAVE FREE WILL!! DON'T LET THEM SHOOT ME WITH BRAIN DARTS AGAIN!!! aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm spent. marisa *one of these statements is true...now the guessing game fun begins! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
