hello all, i've been a bit of a stranger lately, not really up on my emails as school is monopolizing my time, but i guess it wouldn't hurt if i posted something since, after all, i *am* helping allan sort out the toronto meet (october 24, send email if you'd like to join because we all love you, really). it's so cold here, very gloomy and rainy and not at all a good day to be outside. i got soaked coming in and now have a deep chill that isn't going away. i've bundled myself up in blankets and turned the heater on, and i'm brewing some chai tea as i write, putting off my homework as usual because i'm not in the mood to do any sort of constructive thinking about either intercountry adoptions or stages of family development. sounds thrilling, yes? a word about cheese: this thread got me all excited about cheese, i hadn't had any really good ricotta or mozzarella for ages (which could have something to do with my total lactose intolerance, but i digress...) so i went to the market today and got some good looking three-cheese tortellini and was subsequently very sick. i'm all better now, thank you, but i just figured i should inform you that you all have some very persuasive and tantalizing descriptions of cheese dishes, able to sway even stubborn and intolerant me. all of a sudden, there are all these good shows happening! belle and sebastian, rachel's, cat power...and i missed fantastic plastic machine, who i had heard were superb. it's not good, though, me having to spend all this money on shows and book all these nights off work. i'm slowly getting up the courage to begin making a b+s tape for my crushboy, which i've been meaning to do for quite some time now but have been a little scared of. not that he would automatically know it was a crushtape, i'm also trying to talk him into going to the b+s show - i'll make a convert out of him yet. i hope. and if not, he'll still be positively lovely to look at. no harm in trying, i say. take care, sinisterines. don't be swayed by popular opinion and eat things you have bad reactions to. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
