Comrades, It's been some time since I've posted. I was rather upset that no one picked up on my whole Orwellian theory about our names slowly changing into our e-mail names. I looked once, twice... nope, no one seemed to care a jot that my name might become wmh74 or that you also might possess a particularly ungainly name. So I decided to just leer at you all. If you've felt a prickly sensation on the back of your neck lately, that's me. Glowering and wearing a black duster in the shadows. Oh, I know where you all live... and Llew, you really should do some more dusting in the corners of your bedroom. I almost contracted black lung disease hanging out there. Actually, I've just moved from Chicago to Seattle. The drive out was terrific and lonely. There's nothing like the empty sky of the Great Plains to make one feel small and terribly still inside. I suppose that's what drove the folks of Mitchell, South Dakota to build and maintain the Fabulous and Gawdy Corn Palace. They needed to make their insides giddy with something. I listened to belle and sebastian only a little bit on the trip I'm afraid to admit. That's the only real b&s content I can serve up here. Anyway, any Seattle folks should send a little note to me at my e-mail address: wmh74@hotmail.com I'll write back if you don't seem like your one of those thugs who's going around beating up all those white gents here. Yes, I will. Perhaps we can even get a picnic or something going before the slate-like winter. I'll keep this short so I can get back to my gawking. The slack-jawed yokel, Bill PS--Was watching the Flying Circus tonight and saw the episode where Ringo is hanging out on a sofa at the very end and the character that Michael Palin plays that starts out all the shows by simply saying, "It's..." and then they start the whole animation thing... you know, the one with the long beard and the raggedy clothes...yeah him. He comes out and sits down and then the end credits run and then he head-locks Ringo. Well, it was funny. Far better than my description. I just thought I'd throw that in there b/c of the whole beatles debate. Whether he was the best drummer or not... whatever. He was the funniest looking one and that counts for something. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
