yes.. after months of being a lurking creep amongst the cardigans of sinister, i have decided to post because of 'oranges are not the only fruit', 'the need', and Brautigan appearing, miraculously, in the same post... i would agree that j. winterson, author of 'oranges...' is a fantastic writer.. my favorite of hers would have to be 'written on the body'. i was trying to make a belle and sebastian connection to the novel, but can only come up with my personal opinion that belle and sebastian is genderless. now this, at first, fits well with the theme of 'written' but seeing as throughout the whole novel i was convinced that the main character was a woman.. i guess this nullifies any connection to belle and sebastian, or gender removal, or lust or anything that both of these entities contain. hmmm.. well onto the need.. i think they are a fabulous band, and thats all i have to say about them since ladyfest was not an option for me! also in the list of things i think are fabulous are the bizzare and hilarious short stories contained in 'everything you ever wanted to know about sex... but were afraid to ask'. sheep.. transvestites.. yeah! opinions anyone? well .. i promise that my next post will not be as short and erratic as this one has been.. i'm in a skittish mood! jillian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
