today, yous, i'm starting to get neurotic about b&s tour dates. i shouldn't, but i am. i just want to know. i just want the tickets in my hands. i know i am not alone when i say: if i do not see belle and sebastian this summer, summer will be this disappointment, this Sad Tainted State. whereas seeing b&s will make this summer the Best Summer Ever. i'm having a week of extreme thoughts, no middle ground. (I was going to start a rumour, pass it on like, but i'm not one for idle gossip (lie). i will wait for Official Jeepster News...) mmm. stuart murdoch... football. i can barely believe this all happened. i feel so very far away. picnics: there will be no vancouver sinister picnic. just me and a bottle of wine in the park, asking squirrels if they think belle and sebastian will come to vancouver, and if not, why not, and if so, when, and if when then will they get across the border. but advice from squirrels doesn't actually count; they are rumourmongers. anyway, we could have a pacific northwest picnic, but the pacific northwest is fairly big... even bigger when your main mode of transport is a bike. or feet. ooh, but there's a train! trains are good. did sonic youth *really* suck at atp? were they the bad kind of experimental? i loved and love sonic youth, and news that they sucked lately live is not good news at all... but i don't know what "sucked" means. all i know is that i could listen to "skip tracer" over and over and over again. with his mild-mannered look on, yeah, he was truly hip... i went on sinister chat the other night. it was interesting, if more than a little jarring. but it reassured me that not having a grasp on the concept of time is nothing to be worried about. it's like non-linearity within a linear structure. it shouldn't exist, yet it does. it does all o're the place. i'm glad though. technology makes me so happy sometimes. but technology is exploited by petty people who can't think outside the next month, and this makes me sad. can't they see that computerization is bigger than just making a profit? the social (and even evolutionary/anthropological) affects of new technology are staggering. oh, i won't rant. i just got on about it for a minute. more at a later date in crazed photocopied pamphlet form, to be handed out on streetcorners by me, ranting while i play two notes on my grandma's faux-hammond organ to a samba beat. i'll see you see you see you on the highway, robyn (one day someone will tell me what "20, 15" means...) ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden@yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
