Happy Happy day! Yesterday was the first time in months I walked around with an incredibly stupid grin on my face all day long. Sadly, it wasn't love related, but it was even better.....Do you know when people continuously tell you that something is impossible and that you either have to kill yourself working or plainly know the right person to get something done? And then you get nervous because you think "oh gee, even so and so had to struggle and they're killer, so what sort of chance do I stand?...." Well, I proved them all wrong! BWA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!! That's my non commital undefinable gloat for the day.

I just found out that my friend John will be reviewing the LP for Select.

I *think* he's a fan (although he's always annoyingly ambivalent about

I know a guy from England named John. Are we talking about the same guy? He's about this big and about this tall and wears his hair this way...... these

things), so with luck he'll give it five boxes out of five.

Boxes? When phrased like that, it sort of makes the reward sound very goofy. I want to revise the scale to where it includes every charm from the Lucky Charms cereal box. I give the last album green clovers, blue diamonds, a purple horseshoe, and the rainbow charm. Either that, or a very complicated system with all former members of the Smiths with the scale ranging from Andy Rourke's latest project to the impossible member reunion outside of a courtroom. Hmm. I'm trying to figure out how to rate good and bad on this scale. Never mind.

If I find out that he doesn't like it (god forbid), could we perhaps bribe him to give it top marks?

Couldn't we all just sleep with him? Some of us are broke..... I'm getting this mental picture of 500 list members appearing on his door step all at once. We can make a picnic of it in the botanical gardens in Glasgow. I still love the statue in the greenhouse of the man with a monkey in his lap. I died laughing the first time I saw it. s.s.
