Hello list, I'm glad someone mentioned Lloyd Cole & the Commotions, because it's a perfect gray rainy day for listening to "Rattlesnakes." And I miss the Monday Poem; will the parrot ever come back? It's officially a holiday today but I'm doing some work anyway. So, I'm in the mood to respond to this work-related suggestion:
of tea, send something. One suggestion I'll make is that you all tell us what you do for a living or something, that's always rather interesting, especially juxtaposing it with you humming Belle and Sebastian at your place of work...
I'm at a university where I'm a graduate student slowly earning a degree in art history but also doing a lot of work as a teaching assistant. I wish I could wear my "...Sinister" t-shirt while I'm teaching, or make some kind of coded reference to B & S in class, to see if any of my students would react... Recently I was talking with a student who needed me to write a reference for him, and at the end of our meeting I was putting his paperwork away in my bag when he spotted my B & S rude-little-boy button on the bag, and his eyes brightened and we ended up talking about music for a while. So that was a nice accidental discovery for both of us. And, on a somewhat related note, while home for the holidays, I had my first B & S parental experience. I'd made a compilation tape for my mother to listen to in the car, and she came home one day and said that she'd really enjoyed it. Apparently her favorites were "the one about the boy on a bus, and the one about a walk in the park." I hadn't written any titles on the tape, so I thought that was kind of sweet. Which songs she actually meant is anyone's guess...
Underwear scare stories but they're not any old boxers. No, no they are a hybrid or perhaps a mutation of the boxer. You could say they were half box, and I hate to say this, half Y front.
I'm afraid I don't have any scare stories at the moment, other than the realization that if I don't do some laundry soon, I won't have *any* available underwear. So, I'm off. And you're still falling, jessica m +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
