So I have already given up on being witty and moved onto stealing something and claiming it as my own (see Astrid's title on 4/29 or "Cemetry Gates" or Laura Llew). Moving on. I was trying to set a record for being the Longest Lurker. Actually, I think I just wanted to have the same initials as Laura Llew. Laura Llew. Striking Lo-Lita resemblance for me when it rolls off my tongue (I'm trying to do a Nabokov thing but it's been way too long). Am I the only one who gets turned on by her words? I watch the F#@&ing Gilmore Girls now for crying out loud. If someone could first kidnap and deprogram me from the Chu-nies cult, I'm sure I would be a LLewd cult member if I don't qualify already. I've been quiet for about 7 months, but a need to free myself of two (maybe 3) extra tickets for the May 4th Boston show forced me to write. I debated whether I should just eat the tickets in order to keep my streak alive, but I worried that someone out there might actually really want them. I would like to thank all of you at this time for my daily reading material. I found you all after I decided not to fly anymore in...what a shocker/coincidence...September. A big change for me since I used to fly on average 100,000 miles a year internationally and was on the road for up to 9 months out of the year. The most ironic thing to me is that if I didn't have such a big problem flying ("big"=6 mg of valium per flight before 9/11), I would be in Edinburgh this coming weekend instead of seeing B&S in Boston. I live in Boston and have listened to B&S for some time know. Ken, among your general genius, your tennis references crack me up as tennis is/was a major part of my travels. Content requirement: I can tell you that my favorite B&S moments were/are usually when I'm sprawled out and jet lagged in airports with "Is it wicked not to care" playing in my headphones (preferably in Olbia, Italy). In closing, I know I've probably broken about 10 rules in this email, but if I've learned anything over the past seven months it's that one is supposed to break rules, and then apologize for doing so. (Here's where I sneak in that I like the "Lists" to some extent. Why? 1) Any disc I wasn't familiar with I put on a list to check out and 2) Lists give Ken the chance to be witty). Therefore, I am now sorry for breaking any rules. I'm sorry I was rushed for time with this and have no Sinister name. If anyone is interested in the Boston tickets please email me at TJL511@AOL.com.
