Hi kids!!! It's been a very very long time... I dont even remember when I last posted on the list. And yet, I've not unsubbed, I'm still here (but nobody cares anyway, since nobody remembers me... sigh...) I still read carefully your messages (more or less) and wish I could write nice stories too. But I cant. Look, I had a Belle & Sebastian dream two nights ago but it was too short and nonsens: I was talking with Stuart Murdoch and, hum, that's all I'm afraid. That's why I've got nothing to say. But I decided to write that I had nothing to say, simply because others do it and because this list is soooo quiet these days. Have you noticed the number of messages in which listees say they are "bored"??? It's amazing. You should go and have a look at the sinister archives and search for the word, you'd have fun (especially if you're bored, but anyway you are, we are...) Speaking of the archives... Yesterday, I tried to search for the phrase "soul of an unearthly" and found almost nothing. Well, a few people asked what it meant but there seems to be no answer. Does it come from a Postcard record? From a fanzine? Is it the title of a book? No, it's not, since i've also searched on amazon.com and other book stores. It's a shame: i'd love to read something new, more or less related to belle and sebastian, cause i've finished the books i wanted to read: Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (no, not The Belle Jar, the meaning would be slightly different...) which is a great novel ; Young and Foolish by you-know-who ; and an anthology of "new writing", coming directly from Glasgow (thanks Nik!). By the way, there is a wee story written by Ciara Mac Laverty, the Sinister "cover star". I didnt know she was a writer, at least sort of. I like her novel. .. I almost forgot to tell you I had the best christmas present in the world... Guess what??? A new "bus tshirt"!!! I had an original one, bought in Manchester, but the washing machines didnt like it and now i could offer this wee shirt to my youngest brother (if I had one...) So my girlfriend managed to scan the bus design and to put it on a new shirt... and here is the nicest christmas present I ever had. That's it, now. Just a last thing: a few weeks ago, my computer exploded and I lost everything (addresses, files, netscape, everything...). So, Jennifer, if you ever read this message, write to me cause I dont know where you are anymore... The same for Niall, this nice boy from Dublin I met before the B&S gig in Paris... And if you're bored and dont know what to do, why dont you have a look at my web site (provided you speak french...). It's at http://www.chez.com/tweeclub. I have to eat my quiche lorraine, now...
