Arantxa, after her wimbledon tennis defeat*, commented: "It is amazing to my eyes how Brazilians as Gabriela or Ivo, who has become a lurker or quitted straight away, can feel close to their songs." where is Ivo? does anybody know? Ivo, are you there? and do you still love Orlando as much? i too feel that B&S' music has a grey, wintery quality to it, but perhaps that is because it is always grey and wintery when i am listening to them. i was just thinking this morning how i wouldn't like to live anywhere where there wasn't as much rain as in Yorkshire. i love rain so much, it makes me feel happy inside. the only problem with the rain is that i have to liberate a mouse today, and that means getting very wet, as i have to go far enough away from my house to ensure my cats won't bring the mouse back. Lesley Jo's wallet has Badtz-Maru on it.. so does mine, and so does my (male) best friend's. there is a little stall of cute Japanese goodies in the corn exchange in Leeds, and my friend and i fell in love with the same wallet, so we had to buy one each. Hello Kitty is a little TOO cutesy and girly and clichéd for me, but i am a wee bit cutesy and girlie (and maybe clichéd too, who am i to say?) so Badtz-Maru was perfect. he is cartoony cute, but he has an evil streak. my friend's a bit girlie too, and he revels in it. the wallets are plastic, and mine is already falling apart.. *sigh* but it's okay cos we're going back to Leeds to shop in preparation for Breeze free festival which is a week from today, and will be featuring the lovely Rosita. is this the right list for being obsessed with an ex-member of Kenickie? no? okay then i won't go on about it. oh, i have to go now, it's stopped raining. i need to find the rodent-carrying device. love abi, who could broadcast Animal Hospital live from her own house, if only she had the obligatory australian celebrity. *please excuse wilful confusing of listmember with tennis star, it is my favourite pastime. next week: Tim Hopkins or is it Tim Henman, in "hilarious" similar name fun. or maybe not. i think probably not. sorry, i'll go now. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
