it is very cold in toronto. i'm listening to this band called pedro the lion right now, they're not bad. but apperantly the fellow has this problem with girls shaving their legs because it's not natural. now i personally kind of like the look of unfurry knees, but what irritates me about that is the use of the word natural. i mean what is natural? is playing an electric guitar 'natural' mr. pedro the lion singer man? i mean, bathing and shaving my face so that i don't smell and look weasly isn't natural if we look at it a certain way, but i hardly think he'd object to me being clean and tidy. i have mice, i suppose killing them so that their disease carrying droppings don't kill me first isn't too natural either. i suppose really natural and virtuous people lead these idyllic rousseauian noble savage lives for all of 3 days until their bare hippy feet step on a nail and they get tetanus and die because their natural jaws locked shut and they were no longer able to sustain themselves on organic granola. just to prove i am no heartless killer of mice initially i was very solemn and weepy about putting the mouse traps down, i kept imagining that i'd be killing one of those super intelligent mice from the secret of NIMH. i'm still afraid of actually finding a dead mouse in one of the traps. but they kept me up for 2 hours last night with their carousing and i was inclined to take vengence this morning. speaking of vengence: Alexander 'ass man' Borgia scribbled:
I hope you realise, Steve, my mission in life now is to somehow seek revenge on you. Finally, sometime in 1986, I was able to get that stupid theme song out of my head once and for all. You have brought it back. Thanks a hell of a lot. I am now whistling the tune from Hogan's Heroes. Do you hear it? Good, I hope it gets stuck in your head for a few days and your sleep gets interupted by nightmares of being stuck in a room with Richard Dawson telling you, "Survey Says!"
First off, i was quite glad to find that little theme song re-appear in my head as i passed the dishes around the christmas dinner table. perhaps it was my increadible smallness, but i really liked that show and thought it was grand, not as grand as the belle and sebby tv show and not as grand as playing with transformers but pretty good none-the-less. you should be careful with this revenge thing, i currrently have the best of Bony M here qued up to the most catchy bits and i am fully capable of raising the ante in music warfare even higher. unless you want your ass Ra-Ra-Rasputin-ed out of existence i suggest desisting with hostilities immediately. also, speaking of revenge: can anyone make heads or tales of Kleist? if so, mail me privately. i have to read him for lit and its just not going down well. also watch it Alex or i may go Michael Kohlhaas on your ass. i just got a job ushering at the glenn gould studio here in toronto. its actually a government job, which sort of fulfills the only career plan i had which was to work for the feds and get all them shweeeeet benefits. so now i can buy more shoes and focus less on my school work and my own jules-and-jim-like personal life. happy days here we come. i also got a bunch of pink shirts in anticipation of wearing nothing but powder blue, lavender and pink as soon as the weather gets nice enough for me to pull such an obviously spring-timey move. the plan is to look like a member of Kraftwerk with the colour balance adjusted wrongly. also it should shock people after seeing nothing but grey on me for the past 2 months. jeeze, not that i have anything for real to say. i'm kind of scared of the listcrush thing now. i mean, now people could potentially find things out about me. ouch. steven +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
