greetings! 'tis late --1:50am, to be precise. and i've just had many cups of coffee at the diner... where to begin?? i left school last monday, and finally today (when i arrived home) i had to delete all 330 sinister messages without reading them, mostly. of course, i had to see what all that iain business was about. but after a few posts, and honey's infinitely wise administration skills displayed, i said fuck all to it and just deleted everything. i tried to scan my 330 messages at first. that lasted to about, oh, 45. anyway.... so i've been all around ohio and pittsburgh for the last week. while in columbus, ohio, i was in a record shop called Magnolias (which is shite for used cds but good for new rarer things), i found the Gentle Waves, but no way was i paying $18 for it. also found 2 b&s bootlegs. one looked suspiciously like the blacksessions (which i have very good quality on tape thanks to fred via kimmy), and hte other had only 5 tracks. and both cds were something like $30. obscene! however.... at Used Kids (easily the coolest plac ein columbus, possibly in ohio, even the whole US -- no! no! must remain loyal to newyork!! anyway...) yes, at Used Kids, i did pick up lovely things like Braid, June of 44, Ida, and Jejune... well, my sinister darlings -- i feel like i'm posting blindly, as i did not read all yr posts (did i mention that i had 330???). but the last time i was off for so long (over winter break in january) i missed the underwear thread. at least i didn't miss anything so smutty as that. here, how's this for pathetic? yesterday, after dropping miss kimmy off at work, i needed to waste 5 hours in the suburbs of pittsburgh. the andy warhol museum (like all museums) being closed on mondays, and the rain falling as it was, i ended up at the Pleasant Hills public library, finishing "Rotten" and rereading half of "The Handmaid's Tale." oh -- and the secret ingredient in Dr. P. IS plum -- i don't know if we established that. and had i more patience, i would have more carefully perused the posts to see where this whole gay thread came from -- but it ought to be carried on! um, p!r!i!d!e and all that.... ("you'd be better off, at least they know where to put it...") mercifully ending this: love, from her alternate email account, marie ps. kisskiss, kimmy! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
