indeed. i almost cried when i heard that line from 5ive's latest offering. quite cringeworthy. anyways.. Theresa rote:

subject line and the mood i am in i just don't care! Today my doggy died and i am very sad. My dog was twelve years old so he has been with me since i was 10, which is a long time, he was really part of the family, you know? Sorry to inflict this on you, by the way, but i am sitting at work and i really cannot be arsed with it at all. Might

aw, bless. i know how you feel. i used to have a grumpy airedale terrier called Dylan, a big old grumpy dog, but we loved him to bits. he was 10 or 12 when his muscles decided they'd had enough and decided to pack it in. i shed a fair few tears i can tell you when my mummy had to take him to the vets that final time *sniff* i loved the Animals of Farthing Wood. i read the entire series when i was pretty young at skool, and i remember being quite proud of myself because it was in the grown-up section of the kids library, and none of my similarly young friends believed me that i read all the books :( Kimberly wrote:

i'm almost finished reading "seymour: an introduction" by jd salinger, of this parish. after you put on your hiking boots and trudge through the first half the second part is wonderful. i want to start a seymour glass fan club. mmmmmmmm....any buyers?

ooh, i'll buy, i just _love_ Salinger! he's my author of the month. well, last month anyway. i actually tried to put on my hiking boots to read Seymour, but they were the wrong size and i was rather quizzical and head-scratched by the time i reached the end. i think Franny and Zooey is probably my fave of his.

II by The Smiths. It agrees with me a little more than others, but the artists I think are most B&Sesque are Simon And Garfunkel. I don't know if anyone else agrees with me on this one?

i would probably agree, the vocals certainly are in my undoubtedly uninformed opinion the most reflective of our Struans. Stevie Jackson also would probably agree with the S&G comparison (Chickfactor and S&G's Homeward Bound, and he likens Isobels Is It Wicked not to Care with Cloudy in a Mojo interview). ive never really ascribed to the Nick Drake comparison. ive tried, but with Nick Drake i always cant help but pick up on the sheer hazy psychadelic seventies-ness of his music. which doesnt really compare with belle and sebastian. i dont think any artist has closely. i think thats why i have such a love affair with their music. is the eclipse tommorow in the morning? if it is then i may miss it through sheer lazybastarditis. though i dont particularly give two hoots if i do see it or not. im rather sick of all the hype about it, its all too much. also, everybody is saying that looking directly at the eclipse is a big big no no. well ive glimpsed at the sun on several occasions when there wasnt a moon to cover it, so does that mean that im risking my eyesight? i never thought so before as i always looked away after at most a couple of seconds, but now im starting to panic. some cynics may say its 'other' activities which would lead to my potential blindness... lastly, i never had a crush on cheetarah, but April O'Neill from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon always sparked a pre-adolescent flame within me, whenever she appeared on the scene in her tight-fitting yellow jump-suits. Yowser! if we're talking real crushes, my fatal one was with a radiant beauty hailing from Nicaragua, Central America, capital city Managua, who once i laid eyes on, i was completely besotten. once that happens, you're liable to follow the 'law of the poor foolish bastard'. which involves things like falling over in their presence, or leaving important exams half-finished just because you saw them leave and must try to talk to them. double lastly, lewd winks all round for those few who decided for vote for me as a list crush. bless you all! - 'wicky wicky wah' JaMeS :) http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hall/7789/music.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
