well, first off, those clues about the tautology and the oxymoron narrowed it down and I found what may be the answers fairly quickly; for the tautology, "lewd and lascivious" from The Boy, and for the oxymoron, "They let Lisa go blind/The world was at her feet and she was looking down", which I see as an oxymoron because she obviously wasn't LOOKING anywhere. I could be right, wrong, silly, dreaming, etc. but I like those answers. anyway, there is a Modest Mouse concert in Toronto on monday, and provided I can come up with a plan which satisfies my mother (she is the one with a credit card) by tomorrow, I should be going. the trouble came when I told her I had a math test tuesday morning. humph. the bus and the train don't come back to stratford until the next morning, so I'll have to ask more people if they can drive tomorrow. everyone I asked up to now said they either couldn't drive, did drive but didn't have their license, or couldn't drive monday night. so I'll look harder! or no modest mouse, which would be bad, because not too long after I heard of them for the first time on this list I found out they would be in toronto on the 18th. aughh. I was going to say something else... I'm pretty sure it was not about Keith Secola, but I thought I would bring him up; he's a native american (although I always feel kinda weird using the proper politically correct term because native american persons so often use the term "indian" and canada still has a Ministry of Indian Affairs, don't they? no problem with convention, I don't actually think they are from india or anything...) ... anyway, he is a native american artist (in this case I mean musician) who sounds sorta kinda leonard cohenish, and I think everyone should at least hear "indian cars" because it is a cool song. that's not what I was going to say. I can't remember. darn. anyway. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
