hello (the mists of time dawned on me, so i got up and opened the curtains) ally cooke mentioned curtains. my dad was fanatic about closing the curtains, to retain heat. i always liked the way that 'drawing the curtains' could mean either opening or closing them. or depicting them in pencil. i don't like sleeping with the curtains shut though. i feel like vampire. (if i'd had a penny for every time i'd said kajagoogoo i wouldn't be eating crab sticks now) it's been a while, i've not been able to get it together to concentrate long enough to post. even now i don't know if this will get cancelled and i shall start again some other time. you may never know these words existed. still, here's to a maybe. again i have found myself ending things and leaving jobs and houses. finally i went to university. its' decidedly bland. rediscovered shyness in the process. i am slighty homeless as a result. this is bad. (i still believe in magic carpets) martin (who is odd and talks to the TV) mentioned Constant Spray. i wonder if he has heard an early ep of theirs with 'filofax sad parade' and 'if seagulls weren't airborne would we still be shipshape?' on it. the ep also has 'laminate the landmarks' as a hidden track. at least, i think that's what it's called. it could be a version of 'tesselate tesselate or wait' though. this was before they adopted el lingua de dios, or volapuk as we know it nowadays, and simply sung in their native language. more recently though, i thought '3am wait for mr milko' was superb. much better than live versions. i visited the tate modern today. it's an impressive space. shame about all that art they've left in there. i shall be going to scalarama llama. i'll be the one with the badge that says 'don't get to know me' from: alix (i'd give anything for a giant marble egg, but how would i incubate it?) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
