Sinister: "Banana Yoshimoto: meet the man who sweats."

[jarkko frantila]

Nice to see Dougie Coupland is popular here, although I personally think 
"Polaroids from the dead" was a bit boring. Hmmm... Was it called that? 
Can't remember. Talking of books, I'm reading Banana Yoshimoto's "Amrita" at 
the moment, something like 50 pages to go. Pretty naive but wonderful. Not 
as good as N.P. was, though. Can anyone tell me why all those Japanese 
writers seem so gloomy but cheery at the same time? Yoshimoto writes about 
death almost all the time, it's sad and suicide and spirits etc, but still 
she manages to keep it a bit happy at the same time. Maybe it's their 
culture? All in all, her text is sooooo beautiful (insert schoolgirl tone of 
voice here). And a writer who's obsessed with Sonic Youth and also likes 
Shonen Knife is always nice. Oh, sister I'm a poet.

Anyhow. My groin is getting better after that footie-accident. Just this 
mild pain when I try to strech it, but nothing serious. What is serious, 
however, is my big problem with sweating. Now, I like black clothes as much 
as everyone else who likes black clothes, but every now and then I'd like to 
get all summery (that's not a proper word, is it?) and wear these yellow or 
light blue t-shirts. But I can't do that, since I'm sweating all the time. 
Looks horrible, these big stains of sweat. Even when I'm lying on my bed 
without my shirt on my armpits just... Well, you get the picture. I'm using 
this deodorant at the moment, but it consists almost merely of alcohol 
(something like 96 per cent, I think?) and it HURTS like hell, burns right 
through my skin. Any suggestions what I should do? It can't be because of 
stress, so...

Oh, and btw, Big (?) john Warrander wrote:

Eh? "Wuv woo"?

Ok, I'm off for a ciggie now. And do not hurt the trees, they have feelings 
too. "Pink pink pink pink moon."
