hi there sinistah...   I;'ver meant to check in ewioth you for a while now, but to be honest my job is so dull that by the time i finish then dendure the commute home with twop heavy smokers that leaves me feeling

  *Breaking Away* I never believe anyone who says their favourite film is Citizen Kane...when ever I hear it I can't help wondering if it's really Tango and Cash but they feel the need to be 'cultured'. However, I'm not one to talk as my favourite film is really quite obscure, and indeed my copy is taped off a showing on BBC 2 sometime in summer 2001 sometime after midnight. Anyhow, if you manage to track this down anywhere send it to me and I'll love you forever, but first watch it to see just how wonderful a film about bicycle racing and then again nothing much is fabulous. (It reminds me about Gregory's Girl...a film that's osensibly about a boy fancying the girl in the football team, but I think it's really about obsessions with the best, smallest things in life..)   *Go-Betweens* I met an Aussie just before Xmas and quite scared him by enthusiastically asking 'Have you heard of the Go-Betweens?????' He hadn't. Bah.   *St Swithins' Day by Grant Morrison* A young boy, who dances only to There She Goes by

  like a beagle...i just have nothing to say. (Maybe that's why I don't get any interesting email these days ?! Just gush-porn and nigerians...) And you're all so wonderfully indie-cool that I feel positively tracksuit-clad by comparison. However, if I have one more conversation about corrie I may well go mad, so in an effort to stimulate myself and my inbox, I will praise fulsomely some things that I like that nobody else int eh world seems to.... the Las, feels a sense of disenchantment with his life and so decides to go and kill Margaret Thatcher. Which begs one question-is it really so wrong to get a crush on a drawing?

  *Old American Sitcoms* I'm sure sitcoms should be theraputic...there's a moral in there somewhere all the time, and the characters become your best friends if you let them. If I ever have children I want them to be just like the ones in Kate and Allie, or they're being sent back to the hospital.   *a decent cup of tea* I will not touch the 'beverages' in the hot drinks machine at work..   *the fourth floor of Manchester Central Library* Not only can you get Spanish editions of Mrs Doutfire here, but you canalso gaze upon geeky lit-boys while spending lunchtimes in comfort reading Simon Armitage anthologies. Hurrah!   *Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen album* My friend Kate tells me I was born in the wrong decade. Well, perhaps she's right (hey, who listens to Lloyd Cole in 2004?) but this album is fantastic. And all the kidz are down wit XTC these days.   *Jeremy Vine* Anyone who plays The Fall's 'Leave The Capitol' during daytime Radio 2 has to be cool.   Anyhow, hope my waxing hasn't interrupted your day too much.   -Gillian
