I just realized that the album I've been listening to non-stop for over a month has an opening track which is about a man who has rodents in his apartment but doesn't want to get rid of them because they keep him company while staying up late at night waiting for his someone to call (which they never do). Thus, if this post seems downtrodden just be thankful I'm not writing Hallmark greeting cards or - worse yet - answering sucide hotlines. I for one would like to thank Big Stu for the summary posts of the interviews as I quite enjoyed them. Heaven knows that if I had been chosen you would have gotten no details except for that I spent time with Struan while he was in the bath. Then if I was forced to divulge anymore it would only come out in a tuneless rendition of "Rubber Ducky" which is probably why I wasn't picked. Well, that and I didn't apply. I said I would only inundate you with boring posts weekly and here I am harassing y'all a second time this week. I promise it isn't because I'm bored or anything. The sheer productivity of my days would astound and amaze anyone. Why I have even been making homemade bread almost daily. Well, "homemade" meaning using a breadmaker but what did you expect - me to granulate the sugar? I still have to put the ingredients in IN ORDER and they have to be at room temperature and everything. It's enough for me to break out in a sweat just thinking about my hard labor. Of course, if I get any more domesticated I'll have to start crocheting scripture covers or something. I'm writing today because it's a TRADITION for me to write on February 22nd as it is Miss Ree's birthday - and today is her 25th one at that! I've been doing it for three years, except for last year I was TRAPPED at a dirty hippie farm in Massahoweveryouspellit. However, this year I continue with my wishes for Miss Ree. I usually list all of the reasons why she rocks but we know those already so that's old hat. Instead, this year I shall believe I'll send her birthday greetings by presenting her Trading Card which can be found at: http://www.joannou.net/petullant/ree.php Wheeee! Laura PS - Flannery's birthday is this coming up Friday but I promise this is the last birthday post for this year - sorry to flood you. For past memorees see: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200102/msg00224.html http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200002/msg00337.html PPS - Good to see sexy Steve Kado AND every cute coffee boy's crush Eric Brasure posting again - whoot! PPPS - If you don't have a Sinister Trading Card, it can only mean that I don't love you. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
