lots of love, Uncle Peter "Have you got a big bottom? Because I've got a really big bottom." - - Isobel Campbell GAAAAAAHH PJmiller, you stole my favorite quote!!! good one!! you deserve cookies and milk. Skim milk, or maybe that fake milk made of rice. hmmm? I've got a big bottom too, maybe we could do some female bonding over those International Coffees after a bout of monster shopping, and have some nice aromatherapy candles going before we get ready to party with Ally McBeal. ah, girly stuff!! But then i'd have to convince her to throw a lingerie party with me, and invite all our girly friends, and it would just get too messy i'm afraid. I voted for our favorite heroes yesterday, i have to say it made me feel very ciically responsible to the ArtMusick world i pay fealty to. strange to imagine them winning, they're quite unknown in th States as far as the mainstream media in general, though all the indie college kids are mad for them. i wonder if they've ever been mentioned in a rolling stone article even? i wouldn't know. i just realized as i was writing another surrealist email to my partner in CRYME(ancient cryme) jess, how much this band has ALTERED my perspective in some way. i listened to arab strap about 4 times yesterday, interspersed with a couple runs of France Gall, but still, nonstop sleep the clock around for me. Gawd i realized how beautiful it was. is it wicked??? i was nearly moved to weep. but that has a lot to do with the fact that i kept staring at this beautiful girl who is in two of my classes. she usually sits in front of me somewhere in art history, and draws somewhere near me in life drawing, and she has short hair, wears baggy pants and funny shirts and carries a camouflage duffle bag, and she had a big plastic ring just like one that i have but i never wear. and a KDHX tshirt, the radio station i worship. but i've never been able to think of how to start a conversation. yesterday she had on a blue long mohair sweater and a bunch of bobby pins knotted into her short hair, and she didnt' even look at me when she sat down, and my heart was breaking. i almost cried while watching all the slides of Bosch and Donatello, that is when i wasn't falling asleep from being awak for 24 hours, weird things happen when you're up that long, and i was in a fairytale land i started thinking of my broken heart and Seymour Stein, send her back to me!!! I was at my wit's end. there is an adorable Japanese girl in my AH class, she has the most amazing cutest clothes, she drives me mad because i want to make her into a little doll and take photos of her, she's so unique. and i saw these 2 little boys, swinging and running around a small tree on the hill, they were laughing so, i tried to smile at them, and wished i could be with them, and join all these beautiful people, but i'm just too afraid.......I would ride buses all day, only watching them pass by but never brave enough to catch their eyes for too long. it was very belle and seb. i hope this didn't bore you all, but i've been reading all of the dear diary posts lately and they are my most favorite, I love those fragile glimpses, so this one's for m elise, deary, hello out there!!! We should start a Midwestern chapter of sinisterines. anyone up for it?? we're oh so lonely out here, what with the cows outnumbering the interesting people. i want to hear the butchering of fox in a snow, i hope someone can help us out on that mystery. as for the question of christian rock, I wouldn't consider them xtian rock per se at all, in the sense of most christian-named music, which is "we are here to glorify Jesus" which i don't see blatant in their songs, it's more music and beauty for its own sake, purely secular, but with an eye for the spiritual, mostly in questioning. I dont' think anyone would say that IYFS "celebrates" christianity, it's just a study of a particular few lives in questioning. as i'm sure you all know. well it's my opinion. and as such essentially worthless. gentle waves mania: i can't wait to get my hands on the gentle waves special edition Pooh bear and christopher isobel. and how about the gentle waves Wave-maker, for your very own personal pool, so you can sail upon them. DO NOT forget the gentle waves tiny wave box, a clear plastic box containing two sections of blue and clear gelatinous and repelling liquids that float upon them a tiny rowboat containing stuart and isobel on a pea-green boat. it makes a great paperweight for you corporate types. But i'm especially excited about the line of lingerie, it's top secret though, don't tell anyone I told you.
