Sinister: hail Mary's and other things

[petula]

Hello hello,

Assorted things, a pick 'n mix if you will.

Mr Whitey, I'm suspicious. Last time you were asking if by northern soul,
people were referring to the Verve album. It's too good to be true, I think
someone is trying to be cheeky.

Hello John, we meet at last. I'll forgive you for the lingerie comments and
tell you a bit more about those songs. They hail from the (bootleg) Ultra
Chicks series: "Filles in the Garage" and "Lolita Ya-Yas". Not only are they
full of fantastic pop, but if you own actual copies they make you look
really cool as well. Next time you have a party and when the music boys do
the inevitable flip through your records, put them straight in front and
they'll get really jealous.

It's true, you know. He's had to be issued a special visa to enter Canada in
2 days' time. It's illegal to have no conscience without a permit here. When
the CIB heard what he might be getting up to in Niagara Falls, they nearly
revoked the visa, but he started singing an endearingly pathetic and
out-of-tune version of the Canadian national anthem and saved the day.

Shame, shame. It's not nice to make fun of people who need their balsawood
dildos to have a bit of stuff.

I don't think I want to hear the Duke's penance idea. I'm not even Catholic.
It might involve staying in a cabin in Skegness for a year so you have the
solitude required to decipher every 80's indie guitar "classic" that didn't
come with a lyric sheet.

I have a much better penance idea. You would have to hibernate for the
winter wearing only brushed cotton pyjamas, and with only marzipan and
Tunnock's bars to eat. Any takers?

No one could out-shag Serge, but I could think of a few people who might
take up half of an LP. Coming second after Serge is nothing to sneeze at.  

>Must go, Christina Ricci is calling.

For anyone that's interested, her film "The Opposite of Sex" has just been
released on video in North America. I've got to see that *and* Pecker, I've
been a lazy cineaste lately. Luckily, in 2 days I'll have someone here who
can persuade me to go to the video shop. 

But Christina is cool. She can tap dance. I used to tap dance as a child,
you know. My first performance was to the tune of "Rubber Ducky", and I had
an orange tutu and feathers in my hair. Not unlike what I wear when I go out
clubbing nowadays. I might be lying, of course. 

48 hours. And no, I'm not talking about that pishy b&s concert. That's just
icing on the cake.

love elisabeth xoxo
