i used to think the above line was "not as fat as dostoyevsky". ;) anyway, i was going to write about how i got my first flame from someone on the list today. i'd like to point out to new people that there's no point in paying attention to private flames. private constuctive criticism, but someone who wants to inform you that you smell like "knat's piss" probably isn't anyone worth listening to. ;) today i bought the ep. i made a special trip out to the record store to pick it up. i'm listening to it right now. i know where the summer goes is better when stuart murdoch is bopping up and down right in front of you, but otherwise i like it. ;) i ran a lot of errands this afternoon, including buying a record player. i didn't mean to buy, i already have one though it skips sometimes and i don't like it too much. but there's a presbyterian church about two blocks from me. it's a beautiful church, one of the really old ones built with large brown stones that has pretty stained glass windows inside, the ornate type. they're going to have handel's messiah there on sunday, perhaps i'll go if i don't have any projects to do. er, ok, i digressed pretty badly there. anyway, in the churchyard, was a man in the kilt playing bagpipes. i'm not necessarily a huge fan of bagpipes, but he was playing beautifully. i got my lunch and sat on one of the little benches and watched him play, despite the intermittent car alarms and honks. christmas time in the city is soul crushing, it's loud and noisy and full and cruel. so sometimes the little beautiful things are more important then than at any other time. well, as to how i got the record player, there was a craftsfair at the church, so i was going to look for a christmas gift for my mom, but i ended up going downstairs to look at the fleamarket type stuff instead. hehe just heard the gate and it isn't half bad. this is a rather mellow ep. perhaps i'll listen to it while getting down with my bad self. ;) oh, and any girls of about 18 or 19 who were serious about acting in my films (you have to be free and able to get downtown aroudn 2pm on tuesday *or* thursday of this coming week) *please* write me. xox megan mkl206@is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
