If the Pinefox is our Milton, let us hope he does not have any daughters. And I would like to echo the call for words of wisdom from Velocity, our very own Jane Austen. Wait, let me explain. You see, Austen can be credited with not only developing the style of dialogue known as indirect discourse, but with the very genre of the novel itself. Furthermore, she wrote with great wit and irony about the great political topics of her day, all the while cloaked as mere gossip about men with big inheritances. We can only hope Velocity inspires a similarly productive literary genre. Indirect discourse may already have been discovered, but Velocity leads the way in indirect capitalization. Only she can know the psychological insights such a development will surely bestow upon us all. Words of encouragement must be extended to JohnJohn, whose post of summer walks and broken hearts was beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us all. Final props go to Robin Stout for the eloquent green vs. yellow defense. Let us hope your prediction is true. Does anybody else find the new white stripes album engagingly depressing? it haunts me, especially the line, " what would i like to have been? everything you hate," it traps me in, i want to resist, i want to say no! i will listen to sleater-kinney today and shout and be happy! but instead, as i near the CD player, a strange compulsion puts my hand in autopilot, and in pops the smoothly white CD, like a nice clean slate, a tabula rasa, only the future has already been written, i know exactly what will happen. it's predetermined. like luther, i can only study and pray that my deeds will somehow affect my fate, which i know to be sealed in alabaster. anyway, we need a picnic mummy for SF on the 8th. We need a proper Golden Gate Park location, as well. We need to warn all out-of-towners to expect bone-numbing fog and winds. so let your fashion decisions be made accordingly. xo kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
