I'll say, Struan has a love/hate relationship with summer: "I know where the summer dwells/ When you're having no fun/When you're under the thumb" (what does being under the thumb mean anyway?) "I spent the summer wasting/ The sky was blue beyond compare" I just returned from my college-seeing trip in the Northeast. It was a week of driving around in a rented silver Pontiac Sunfire named Stevie, listening to Glaxie 500 until my mother complained, and getting lost somewhere between Cambridge and Boston. There's nothing like being 17 and being unsure of where you'll be the next year, and having no better luck with career plans either. I'm sure life after college doesn't get any easier, listening to the tales of other Sinisterites. I know I shouldn't be using Sinister as a college-searching utility, but if you happen to go to a college in the East coast, do you think you can share your insight of your school? That would be greatly appreciated. Oh! And when I was in Rhode Island, I saw a big B+S display outside a record store, and I was so excited I took a picture. I am jealous of whoever got a Jonathan David video in a record store, because there are absolutely no record stores where I live. Yay! B+S in the US. Although I live in Florida, I am most definetly driving to wherever B+S may land on the West Coast, probably in California. I wonder if anyone is hosting a "picnic" (such a foreign word!) before the concert? Well, I shouldn't get carried away; they haven't even announced anything yet, I think. I keep on having nightmares about the Emcee in the play "Cabaret". I went to see Cabaret when I was in NY, and the light kept on reflecting on his nipples, because he had red sequins attached to them. It was so eerie it made me laugh. I have been volunteering at the museum lately. It's a relatively easy job, pasting articles into scrapbooks. I work with a 50-year old woman who constantly makes eyes at the man who comes in to make coffee for us. I get embarrassed for her. And there is a Dirk Bogarde look-alike at the museum office; that's never good. I've been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros lately. Thanks to Blake for the strong recommendation. I think he sings in "Hopelandish", or whatever it is called, but I can't tell, since I can't speak Icelandic. I have also been listening to Archaic Smile. Has anyone heard of them? Well, that's all for me.
