hiya. owing to the in-depth discussions of ribena, i finally felt qualified to post after trying it for the first time, even though it was ribena spring. i'll save the elegant $7 bottle of concentrate for next time i go to rodman's, the token "international gourmet discount food and drug store," my absolute favorite store in northwest dc. shelves of goya, wine and insane belgian chocolates intermingled with coffee presses, luggage and shower chairs for invalids... also, because i'm wading through a 600-kanji essay that determines whether i go to school in kyoto next year, any distraction will do quite nicely...i'm being a bit over-ambitious with my vocabulary, sure to entertain the admissions board. i'm crunching on espresso candies, and dealing with contact-induced pain...being too lazy and too traumatized by the catastrophic loss of sight to remove them will scratch up and dry out your eyes, so i have learned. the opthamologist keeps threatening me, but for now i'd rather wake up able to find the girls' room and leave the glasses to collect dust on the dresser... and furthermore, any one going to see arab strap this thursday at the black cat? as much as i like my 3-hour cia class, i'm not gonna be sold out of another show, like with the donnas. heartbreak. or anyone going to mac rock...can't wait to descend on the arse-end of virginia with three boys, a rented chevy metro and weekend passes...i'll finally have to prove that i can drink a 40...it'll make the hotel floor that much more inviting. it's the rarity of such drunken situations that makes em so much more memorable. i really have no motivation to get wuh-wuh-wuh-wasted while at school...who here will dance to "raspberry beret" with me? erm...content? my dad likes b+s because there aren't any "wrangling guitars," his stock phrase for dismissing anything after 1962 or so. he's kind of stuck at the stan getz stage...which is not such a bad place to atrophy i guess. thankfully enough, i once played bjork's version of "like someone in love," since he had been torturing us with his jimmy scott cd's, and he has approved of her ever since. ok, gonna pounce on my essay with a vengeance now. hmm. yep. stepheesha +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
