Sinister: what release?

[Laurel Girvan]

     ink polaroid from yesterday, 9.8.98
     
     if you hold this photo so the light doesn't hit the flat spot that was 
     caused from dabbing off melted ice cream, you can see me gesticulating 
     wildly at the poor girl working at Virgin records.
     
     there's a bit of a sheen on my face and my shirt is sticking to me cuz 
     i've been carrying too many bags around looking for this brand new 
     store.  now that i'm here, i've just been told they don't have TBWTAS, 
     though the shopgirl is just as upset as i am, as she's been looking to 
     buy it ever since she got to work that morning.  
     
     the only thing keeping my face from appearing as a horrible rictus of 
     anguish is a bit of a joke.  you see, the shopgirl misheard me.  when 
     i said i was *looking* for the new album, she heard *working* for the 
     new album, so i had a few seconds of label exec fame.  of course, it 
     didn't get me the album any sooner.
     
     so i'm off to the store after work again today - here's hoping.
     
     smooches to all you kittens,
