My own, dear Sinisterines, A few more little stabs at coherence, then I'm off. Did any of you London listees see the Evening Standard yesterday? My eye was caught by a large photo of a young boy hugging an enormous white furry dog on the front page, with the caption "William Dowell with Cassis, his beloved two-year old Pyrenean mountain dog.. "My goodness", I thought, "does Belle & Sebastian's media infiltration know no bounds?" The story in fact had little to do with Madame Whats-her-name's adorable yarns about big white dogs and boys. It was instead a sad tale of those heartless bureaucrats flying in the face of public outrage and moral decency. But still, it was a great B&S moment, of sorts. On another slightly less bizarre topic, Sandy wrote:
Crushes seems to be the topic of the week and that is the only relevance that this letter has to this list. I started off by having a massive crush on this man but when we realised our mutual feelings we started going out with each other. That was 8 months ago and for all that time I have loved, cherished and worshipped him because when I fall in love I fall very hard.
Anyway, Late night I saw this "god" coming out of a friends bedroom half dressed leaving a naked woman lying in bed.I cannot understand why he did this to me. What have I done wrong to deserve having my tender heart broken.
To Sandy I say, tough break, but in the wise words of D:Ream, "things can only get better". The whole situation did sound rather Seeing Other People, mind. I read somewhere that in those situations it is always the person who breaks someone's heart that ends up worse in the long run (guilt, inner demons and divine justice in the afterlife for wanton cruelty, I would imagine). In the mean time, I can only reiterate, "avoid the sad songs that make you cry". I don't care what you say, Bug, you all know it makes sense :) Am I helping? No, I thought not. Mind you, on reflection there are few problems in life a few grams of hot Tigermilk vinyl action can't solve. And we have but 4 days to wait. Hoo hoo, oh ho, my my. Urrrrr. Must remember to engage brain before posting on list. Oh, before I go, What is a Russia's favourite band? Steppes Sorry J.
