people! that subject line is an actual line from a mountain goats song called 'earth air water trees'. i can barely believe it. i think that even though it's not b&s it should be a sinister mantra. especially if we added 'and wine'. aaw. (how can the topic of cheese be so popular? i guess b/c it's *cheese*. yum.) a bit sad this morning. but i'm listening to the lucksmiths, which is making me exponentially happier. watching the italy-korea match was weird. the cafe was packed full of italians and i was tired. it reminded me of highschool, and you know how it is when you're reminded of highschool... a kind of grimey nostalgia, and you'd rather not feel any nostalgia at all. also, i was kind of cheering for both teams, myself. wrong of me? i am a fence-sitting canadian of the highest order. so when korea won i both feigned indignant disbelief and smiled from ear to ear. life, eh? can't make a decision to save it. so i've been wanting to be outdoors lately, like camping in the wildes of british columbia. but instead i've been sitting in cafes with smelly old italian men and shouting at a tv screen. summer solstice is on friday though, so i think i may do something like go to the beach and watch the sun go down. y'know, to remind me of the natural connection between cycles and progress, and in there the straight-up beauty of it all. aah, yeah, that's nature. sigh. i don't know, i really can't believe i got into watching the world cup as much as i have. a readily adopted obsession. can't imagine that i ever once thought that 4am was too early to wake up to watch the semifinals, let alone the final. pshaw, i didn't even go to sleep on friday night. one grows so much in two weeks. (aaagh. robyn falls asleep at her desk.) also, i told myself not to write to sinister while this tired. y'know, so tired i don't feel tired anymore but my eyelids won't budge past halfway open. yar. i'm actually almost as excited about these two consecutive nights of full-on sleep as i am about the upcoming matches. excited in an under-the-covers-drinking-tea-and-falling-asleep-reading kind of way. yes, so for some reason, i'm going to hit 'send' anyway. i'm just going to say also that i wanted to address things in other people's posts b/c i do read them and they make me think, laugh, cry, etc., but right now i'm not so hot in the 'memory' department. and it seems so far away from the 'wit and other accessories' department. i'm just going to buy this 50%-off pair of neon socks and be done with it. apologies. lobby please, robyn p.s. oh yeah, right, i was going to list some good mountain goats songs to (gasp) download even if you (shock horror) don't like the mountain goats (if you give it a chance, i will give, um, elliot smith a chance (yes, that's how to win friends, robyn...)), but then, y'know, the brain not working thing... so maybe just check out songs from 'nothing for juice' and 'nine black poppies' and, i don't know, the song 'going to georgia' is great too. also, the extra glenns 'martial arts weekend' album. the mountain goats just makes me happy even though a lot of the songs are about sad things. ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden@yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
