Dearest Sinister It s funny I was just thinking about the list crush thing and wondering in the absence of the photo pages would charm really be the basis of attraction not as unreal as integrity say but a step above pure physical infatuation Step above only in the sense of being generous Really no value judgments intended And I just noticed that it s the seemingly artless confession of vulnerability that makes me read twice and sigh But you can t really give people guidelines to follow cos it s not a matter of choice as noted by Lloyd Cole with additional songwriting credits to Lawrence Donegan Don t ask me if I want you Only ask me if I must I can t get them out of my head from the boy in the green sweater in the line for the submarine ride at Disneyland when my hopes were dashed cos the ride reached full capacity between him and me to the person here about whom the less is said the better as that might serve as an impetus for me to accept my fate Sometimes I am unreasonable enough to regret leaving a place cos I fear I ll never have anyone to adore again and hence my life would be meaningless but I should know myself better than that As noted in a lyric by Darren Hayman You love to be in love about which he said it was actually said to him And Genevieve you just need to unfocus your eyes a little and let his charm sink in His awkwardness so great as to seem deliberate is the very substance of it Stephen Trousse famously why famous it should be said that he looked like a muppet whilst unnatural for my dialect I know but I m susceptible to the charms of British English myself playing keyboards
In case you hadn't noticed by now, I don't really have anything to say at all.
The longer I continue the less I seem to be saying And more incoherently This is great Very true to life Whenever I used to tell people I was a linguistics major they would say Um yet you speak so incoherently I once wrote a paper on speech disfluencies using as my data conversations recorded at a library reference desk and I still remember a particular patron who was looking for a dissertation on Shakespeare Yes a crush needs very little to go on A person who at a momentary loss of words still sounds composed There are no radio stations to listen to in Columbus The only one I can tolerate is the classical music station They just had a program on called Indian Diffusion At first I thought it was going to be about American Indian music but they meant the sense not the reference of the term Indian as Columbus used it It was funny cos most of the DJs have a really high brow speech register and German or Scandinavian accents but the one for this show was speaking in the style of DJs on stations like KCRW in LA For the 1000 listees not residing in LA it s the middle aged or late twentysomething counterpart of the intonation used by people who work at cafes with mismatched cups and saucers and velvet sofas and walls painted red or some non background color For men it s the opposite of falsetto but not in a Rick Dees kind of way It s so that you pay attention to all the wrong words as with practiced flight attendants On the Belle & Sebastian page thanks to the person who wrote the top 10 George Harrison songs And I find it hard to believe that he could be the Beatle that everyone loves to hate as Peter Miller or some other musically omniscient listee noted Last weekend I rearranged the furniture in my room and put my speakers on top of my bookcase Someone else had conveniently bored a hole in the back wall of it so that I could connect the wires And it s a very pleasant experience to relisten to songs and hear all this stuff that I never heard before on account of the improved acoustics I m finally downloading Real Audio Player to listen to song samples by Comet Gain on the CD Now web site The song titles sound so promising that it could only be a good experience As my sister said on the phone yesterday the important thing is to be happy One more thing is that everyone in LA should listen to Eric J Lawrence s show on KCRW The station is 89 9 FM and his show used to be on at midnight on Tuesdays +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
