good evening, ovejas. er, sheep. for some reason "oveja" used to be our favorite word in spanish. also, we sang some song in choir that had the line "oh we, like sheep, have gone astray..." but when sung, there was no pause between "we" and "like," and there Was a pause after "sheep," so it sounded like we sang "oh we like sheep" and were done with it. oh dear. so i always have the dirtiest thoughts about that line about the bath in "string bean jean." jo is a girl, but is phil' a boy or a girl named phillis? hmmm... either way, stuart in a bathtub with 2 other people... not only would they Not fit comfortably (and i don't care How cute and pixie-like he is), which means they'd be quite on top of each other, but clearly they'd not be dressed, unless they're Really saving on leccy bills by washing their clothes while taking a bath. whenever people dismiss b&s as cute and simple and even cheesy, i point out choice lyrics like this one. but speaking of washing, and i sort of was, i had a case of "b&s in an unusual place" (get yr minds out the gutter, kids) the other day... i took my car to get it washed, which is a rare luxury, but since i'd already gotten the oil changed and filled it with gas, i figured, eh, okay, i'll blow $7 on a wash. i was alone and IYFS was in the tape deck, and i got to ride through the automatic carwash while "me and the major" played. as the soap swirled on my windows, stuart sang "the snow is falling falling falling falling....." i kept giggling and looking around to make sure no one caught me, but then i'd remember i was all alone and No One could see me... so i laughed right out loud. speaking of carwashes, have you ever made out in one? it's good fun... my favorite b&s moment depends on whether or not i've got the lyrics right on "expectations," because during the last chorus or whatever, it sounds like he sings "now you're cool and you know" right before "you're a star ... etc etc." if that's true, than that's my favorite. if not, then it's the word "lovers" in "get me away from here i'm dying." it's that rhotic "r"... gets me every time. i can never get through all of george dickie's posts because i cower under the sheer force of them and end up deleting. i'm with lauren on romance. "i want all that stupid old shit, like letters and sodas" (-liz phair). i want to be taken Out, damnit. don't knock this gothic b&s stuff. i've got three words for y'all: struan in fishnets. that'll be all. xoxo, marie ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "to me she was just marie." -mersault.
