so i was showing my pictures of the bowlie festival to some family members last night and they were all confounded by the one of the queue to pick up the tickets on Friday afternoon. my cousin thought it was a Macedonian border crossing. what with all the haggard people, desolate scenery and general glumness. hoooo, boy. the pet naming thread is right up my alley, folks. i have 2 cats- Simon and Harriet. named after pop stars, but i won't say which ones. i also have a hamster named Faddle, who used to be part of a duo- Fiddle and Faddle, until Fiddle escaped and ran down the furnace pipe. i'd like to believe he's frolicking about in the appalachian mountains right now, so don't ruin it for me, ok? i also used to have hamsters named Mabel, Marvin, Boris and Porl. (the Cure thing was unintentional at first). but i find great joy in naming animals, i think it can be a special thing. all of my pet's names came to me in a relevatory way. i had a dream the other night that my cat Harriet told me her name was Faye in another life. isn't that odd? B&S CONTENT: well, sortof. haha, i tricked you. i had a dream last night that a friend and i were with Stu M and Isobel in the new orleans convention center. they were going to play there, to over a million people and it was going to be beamed out by satellite to 147 countries, like Live Aid or something. anyway, they couldn't remember any of the names of their instruments so i was constantly going "oh that's a guitar" or "you mean a cymbal?" or "that's actually a *trumpet*". interpretations will be accepted. i'm really starting to wonder: how little money can i live on? is being jobless prudent? -christa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
