Sinister: Oh yes, its a mess...but we'll be fine, we'll get by...

Are there any other Wannadies fans on the list?  I've been listening to their 
US album all week...its truly amazing.  I like it even more because every 
song is associated with something else of the past summer, 'cause thats when 
I really got into it.  Like playing basketball in the evenings once it cooled 
down, or driving to the Ocean on 3 hours of sleep, or driving go-karts, or 
waiting outside an all-you-can-eat buffet in Ocean City, totally drunk and 
sunburned.  Plus its a fab album in its own rights.  Everything about that 
band seems to be getting pushed back as of late, and its making me a bit 
frustrated.  I think they're new album is due out in the States shortly after 
the New Year, but their website has been down for the past 3 months, so thats 
a little hard to verify.  I really, really, really hope they tour soon.  I 
hear they live in London now and sleep in the nightbuses in Chingford or 
something, so keep an eye out.
All this talk about dead animals isn't doing wonders for my holiday spirit.  
I had a cat named Gobo once (named for the lead Fraggle in Fraggle Rock), but 
he died two years ago.  We still have his ashes upstairs, 'cause we had him 
for 12 years and he was the first pet our family really had.  In the nativity 
scene we set up under our tree every year, without fail he would plop himself 
down just behind the manger and squeeze his huge head inside the back of it 
so that he knocked over half the wise men and the sheperd boys.  We'd set 
them back up, but he'd do the exact same thing the next day.  He was funny 
like that.
Someone try to tell me that "It's Christmas Time Charlie Brown" is a total 
redneck waste of time, and I told him to piss off.  Everything Charles 
Schultz has ever done is pure genius, especially the Christmas episode.  I 
can't think of a single thing you could change about it.  I really hope he 
recovers from his colon cancer surgery (Charles Schultz that is) and doesn't 
discontinue the strip on January 1st as he plans to.  Forget about Y2K, that's
 a national calamity.  Well, that and South Park is probably hanging up the 
gloves this Spring too.
I locked my keys in my car today, with the ignition running.  Blame it on my 
finals I say...they've sapped my brains.
