my premiere post to the list will begin with this sentence, which, sadly, is not nearly as captivating as i would prefer it to be. my name is blair, and i spent two weeks in canada two summers ago. the natives were pleasant folk, and are not, in my opinion, deserving of harsh generalizations. as a texan, i am well aware of the destructive capabilities of such generalizations, and believe me, both myself and the horse i ride to class each day are deeply hurt by narrow-sighted bigotry. i spent the winter holidays in switzerland, experiencing my first taste of life across the pond. the swiss were almost as pleasant as canadians, and shared with the citizens of the "great white north" a bizarre inability to serve iced tea. belle & sebastian have never found their way into my dreams, though i once dreamed that i was swimming in a pool of tang, and that has to be worth something. if any of you lovely sinister folks are ever in austin, texas, please drop me a line. free meals seem to abound in my company, so take advantage. i hope this post finds you all well. lovely talking to you - really. fondly, blair _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
