Hiya Sinister, Looks like it's gonna be a week of lovely weather here - below 80 during the day and cooling off to the 50's at night. I thought we were gonna steamroller straight into summer, but now we're walking briskly and watching things grow before the heat overtakes us and we'll just have to loll about. Today I saw a girl in a lavender coat made of light wool, or maybe a sort of tweed. There was a slit in the back and when she walked I could see the olive green lining. It was a really nice coat. It looked good on her. She had naturally curly hair done up with one of those clips. Yesterday I walked by Mirror Lake and saw a really frightful sight. Several ducks were astride another duck and they were pecking its head, fiercely. I hope that isn't how they mate. Then I saw a couple kissing goodbye in a car. The kiss could be described as a pecking sort of kiss. I looked away immediately, but I couldn't help notice. The day before that I saw a dead cat at an intersection in a residential area, so not a very wide street. It was lying at the dead center of the street, as if someone had placed it there, with its front legs splayed apart.
Looking at the big picture, pop's effect on global culture has been virtually nil. The Khmer Rouge didn't come to power because of Purple Haze, Nelson Mandela wasn't freed because of Free Nelson Mandela, asians weren't dubbed because of Asian Dub Foundation.
Meester Miller, what we wanna know is this: Did Atari Teenage Riot improve anyone's score in Ever Quest? I know about that game because my brother used to play it. Maybe he still does. I'm very bad at video games, so I don't really ever play them. I just move the controls about randomly for a while 'til my brother loses all patience with me and pushes me aside. And what about Cornershop? Did they help any struggling young couples start a cornershop or off-license, as they're called over there? I heard that in New York many liquor stores are owned by Korean couples. But that's just the opposite of an off-license, isn't it? I once got lost on the way to an off-license. It was very embarrassing. You know, it's the life of the people we're interested in (a samurai is not one of 'the people')... I've been to Aberdeen before. That's where Ailsa is from, I think. I was only at the train station though. Scotland is nice cos it's cool and there are lotsa lakes and trees. I wish I had gone to Edinburgh and seen the university and all places they sing about in B & S songs. I wish I had stood around longer on Byres Road like that character does in the first book of the New York Trilogy. (It wasn't Byres Road though.) I coulda stood outside Hillhead Station waiting for Sebastian to come back from meeting Isabelle or stood outside Iceland waiting for Stuart to choose a fish pie for his dinner. I wouldn't have stalked them. Only said hello. Or not even that. Just stood anonymously, not really there, you know. Oh well.
