Sinister: we apologise for the non-global nature of this message

[Archel1978 at xxx.com]

much as i would hate to revive the 'best kid's tv of our youth' thread, i 
feel i must announce that yesterday i received 'the complete bagpuss' on 
video.  this made me disproportionately happy, i suppose, but it is just 
*very* good.  especially when the mice threaten to strike if they're not 
allowed to sing, although the calypso turtles are also a high point.

i've made my decision to buy tigermilk episode 2: a new hope, having listened 
to it a bit courtesy of the bagpuss provider yesterday.  it is better than 
mine, and i fully comprehend now that crime doesn't pay.  i think i am also 
going to buy the gentle waves album, as i get job seekers allowance now and i 
feel that this is just the kind of thing it is designed for.

i'm feeling disgruntled today, the bagpuss euphoria having worn off a bit.  
my inner bitch (hi lj)* is lurking at the forefront of my brain, grumpily 
shuffling her feet and threatening all sorts of things, but refusing to just 
get out here, cause trouble and get it over with.  i have managed to pour 
cold water all over my boyfriend's enthusiasm for going to cornwall tomorrow 
though: 'you do know that you'll get stuck in traffic and you'll be watching 
the sodding eclipse from a layby on the M4, and it's going to be cloudy 
anyway?  have fun.'  maybe i should go up a hill on wednesday with all the 
other hippies and meditate in the 
slightly-darker-than-usual-and-therefore-mystical conditions, to restore 
mental equilibrium.  or maybe i'll just SCREAM at someone.

* this is not intended to imply that lesley jo IS my inner bitch, i was 
merely acknowledging her authorship of the phrase.  but i wish she was :)

better be off then,

ps: forget confusion over 'la pastie' - i thought that the blair witch 
project was a reference to kate hoey, clare short, mo mowlam etc.  oh dear, 
that wasn't very funny even to UK listees, was it?
