Sinister: Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.

[Laura Llew]

Hello darkness my old friends. I've come to post to you again…

I know, I know. You all hungrily sign on to your e-mail accounts and 
greedily go down the list of your 50 something messages in search of your 
favorite listee's post. Eagerly you click on that link to send you to a 
letter full of meaning, full of wit, full of fun and cheer. Well, too bad - 
just my tripe for now.... But thats ok since I send you cheery greetings 
from Northern Calipornia!

Now, I know what you're thinking. As you scratch your head, you're 
wondering, "Why, Laura Llew, California isn't on the way from Utah to North 
Carolina. Did they set you facing the wrong direction after they wound up 
the metal knob in your back?" Don't fret kiddies.  My plans for a wondrous 
cross country road trip fell again and so I am ended up at relatives house 
in Fairfield until I can get a flight back to the promise land (September 
8th). The 'Find Llew a Way Home' debacle of '99 has certainly proved to be 
interesting. Then again it should surprised anyone. I mean, my plans to 
prove that North Dakota really doesn't exist but it is a falsehood 
perpetuated by the government to serve their evil purpose were thwarted once 
again. Coincidence? Ohhhhh, I think not. At least I'm no longer living with 
my roomies.  I loved them dearly but it was akin to living with a plague of 
locusts. Though, locusts are most likely cleaner.


The dreamy Alasdair said, "yada yada yada." Ok, so I stopped listening to 
the actual words. Everyone (well besides Timmy Hopkins) knows that you don't 
actually listen to Al's words just to his dream accent for which the women 
swoon. The other day, my sister told me that she was moving to Scotland and 
marrying the first guy that came along who had that accent which seems to 
have that wicked witch of the west (definitely not of the south) melting 
effect.  She doesn't care if he's old, balding, toothless, or skinny (don't 
ask me those are the exact words she used) - so Xavier it seems as if you do 
have a chance! ahaha

On the road trip out here to Cali, I got the opportunity to introduce my 
brother to both IYFS and BWTAS (which sound like military abbreviations). Of 
course, this was after suffering through his requests of something catchy 
like Third Eye Blind or the such. I played him Billy Joel, The Beautiful 
South and Fountains of Wayne - slowly but surely easing him out of the 
stagnated pool of radio play. While he was listening to b&s I thought I saw 
him go through a change of heart.  He seemed to be happily pondering his own 
thoughts while listening to the music. I was sure that he had fallen in love 
with them and was being taken to whole new worlds of thought and enjoyment. 
Then he turns to me and says, "What did the dog say to the other dog as he 
lifted his hind leg."
I gullibly answered, "What?"
To which he replied, "From a scale of 1 to 10,  you're an 8."

I'll pause for a second to let the stupidity of the joke sink in…

I'm sure my face was a mask of pure horror and disgust. Here I thought he 
was being seriously effected by my selection of pure ear candy.  Instead, 
some muse that I have never heard of nor am in interesting of ever meeting 
is inspiring him. In retrospect, I believe that is was just the fact that we 
had been on the road for so long because then he started to mindlessly 
babble about the evil of sweater girl (a girl that we nicknamed so because 
of her tendency to wear a sweater around her shoulders. He thought she was 
bearing false witness since she had the sweater but had no intentions of 
wearing it. Plus, the past few times he had seen her there had been no 
sweater.  He seemed quite perturbed by this whole situation.) Yes, I'm 
blaming the heat. If you're travelling through Utah, Nevada, and California 
during the summer may I suggest that you have ac in your car that actually 
works. A novel idea I know.

My sponsor a musically impoverished Laura program is coming along quite 
well.  This list is full of charitable, generous, lovely souls namely ta ra 
martin robinson,  simple p. pete ramsdale,  etr327, and terrific tom 
yosomethingorother.  I will get back to you all tomorrow or so when I have 
more extensive use of the computer. I just wanted to send out my deep heart 
felt thanks for your thoughts and generosity. That and to guilt trip other 
list members into being more generous to wide eye Laura's everywhere... I 
don't think it will work though.

Well, I'm off like bell bottoms in the 80's. I too will be back. I love you 
all -  that other mailing list mean nothing to me. You must believe me

Laura
