Hello everyone, and welcome to my illustrious third post. Actually, I've been unsubbed for a week or so while I was not near a computer, but now I'm back. I'm in Moscow. I spent last week in the UK, as some of you already know (because I either stayed with you or terrorized you). Let me tell you, the nightlife in Russia is pretty damned DULL compared to what I experienced on the previous leg of my journey, although the bars here do stay open past 11. Last night Megan and I tried to go dancing, which was disastrous due to an overabundance of beautiful Russian women all dancing with a few skanky men. Anyway, I just got back from the Bolshoi. Funny thing, the ballet. I don't understand why everyone doesn't like the ballet. It's grate. I like it because boys are totally subordinate...they're only around when the girls need their waists held for a particularly spectacular move, or when the characters need a kiss from Prince Ponce. Boys should like it too, though, because you get to spend a few hours looking at pretty girls' panties. It does suck a little for those of us who like boys though, because men in tights are really unattractive, and they can't help looking poncey. Oh, I shouldn't be making fun of the boy ballerinas. They're gymnastic and they have great stamina. I'm sure they're good in bed. During the ballet I got to thinking about propositioning Stu M. (Perhaps in another note tacked to his door) about making a Belle & Sebastian ballet. But I think probably it would be hard to do ballet in corduroy, and the exertion might make it too warm for cardies. I think they pay for net use here by the millisecond or something, so I better go, but I wuv you all and miss many of you immensely. Sarahstarry, smoke a pack of Silk Cuts for me. (They don't have Silk Cuts here...I may have to switch to Sobranies, Morvern Callar's other brand of choice).

From Russia with love, Julie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
