Sinister: Subject Schmubject.. as if my letter has any useful info. ha!

[Laura Llew]

Please forgive me for this letter since it will contain almost no b&s 
related info. I was never very good at keeping those pesky things called 
rules. Even at an early age ~ much to the chagrin of my second grade 
teacher, Ms Haskett, who didn't like my innovative reality based playtime. 
Why let kids live in a little dream world where their buildings carefully 
sculpted from blocks would stand? Why not introduce some natural disasters 
of other randomly flying blocks? Our lives aren't always going to peachy- 
wake up kids, we have to learn sometime! Who better to introduce them to the 
real world than I? Mr. Rogers certainly wasn't going to do it. No no. But, 
Ms Haskett disapproved and I ended up in the early eighties version of time 
out. There began my first thoughts of rules being the enemy of intelligence. 
Of course, after a while we all come to realize that rules are actually the 
enemies of criminals. Details Details.

After spending half of the day in the emergency room yesterday, I discovered 
the answer to the time honored question of "is pneumonia contagious?"  Yes, 
my friends it is. Since, I'm stuck at home I decided to watch 'Pretty In 
Pink' since it seems to be all the rage these days. Some interesting trivia 
on the movie that you probably already know or really could do without 
knowing..

-It was filmed in the same L.A. high school where Grease was made.
- The original ending depicted Duckie and Andie hooking up, however the test 
audiences said they would have preferred to see rich boy Blane win Andie's 
heart. Plus, Molly Ringwald was sick during the filming of the ending 
(probably from seeing herself in that hideous pepto explosion of a prom 
dress), and director John Hughes (also the writer) wasn't satisfied with the 
editing. He was also concerned that audiences would take the original ending 
as a message that poor people and rich people don't belong together (if 
anyone else wants to help prove this stigma wrong then there's a poor single 
girl who has a nice cd addiction that would love being fed).
-The Rave-Ups are the band playing in the club scene. Molly Ringwald 
wapparently a fan of their music, and her sister had a child with one of the 
band members. Also, in "Sixteen Candles", 'The Rave-Ups' is scrawled on the 
notebook Molly's character is carrying while walking down a corridor after 
study hall.

Well, thats all the drivel I'll bore with you now. Better 'Pretty in Pink" 
than more The Who discussion. Though, I was quite disappointed when no one 
brought up Dr. Who. Talk about genuis! And to leave you with a quote from 
that show...

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep 
and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. 
Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else 
the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.....

I'm off like a prom dress~ Lleweth

ps- would there happen to be any other of you in Utah? If so, please give me 
hope that there are people around me with some semblance of taste in music.
