reading about stacey's marathon meet n greet i feel positively insular. oh well, that's what online communites are for i suppose - people who can't always be arsed to create a 3D social life. though visitors to my lonely corner of southern england would always be appreciated, you know <archel sniffles appealingly>. oh, and stacey, i suggest that when you tackle that pile of books, you pull out 'the golden bowl' and use it as a doorstop. i have never seen the point of henry james. an english degree didn't enlighten me as to his merits, but if anyone wants to try they're welcome. heard 'waking up to us' on radio 1 at lunchtime today, which was faintly surprising. also surprising was jo whiley announcing that b&s had live dates coming up. is this true??? surely they've earned themselves another 3 year break...? glad to see robin 'inaccurately named' stout back with us. maybe you can give me some hints about acquiring a proper job? i had two interviews today, and i hate them SOOO much. if it really is all about selling yourself, why can't you just send someone in your place to do it for you? i need an agent, dammit. matt gave me IYFS, TIJAMRS and that gentle waves album that i secretly hate on vinyl yesterday. i am happy :) (but why? why do i care? i never buy vinyl, and i'm so not a completist. i don't get it. but when it comes to b&s i have no power to resist. bloody band, they've still got me under the thumb after all these years.) so, the mix tape battle commences! the rachels have far too much style and charm not to win. (plus we're all sleeping with the judge, obviously. see you later, ken.) and on that note, it's good night, sweet sinisterines, and may belle & sebastian sing you to your rest. luv archel xxx *************************************** archel@iname.com For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords@bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
