Sinister: level as a lake beneath the moon

[Emily Wilska]

Allo allo.

Although this phase has probably long passed, I wanted to add my two cents
vis-a-vis fave B&S moments.  I'd vote for those little bits of songs in
which SM drags out what he's singing: "...and he thinks it's a sin that he
has to leave the house at aaaaaaaaallllll," "...dream of
ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-orses," etc.  There's probably some musical-type term for
that, but I don't know it.

Also, the line "Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me, for I'm
stupid and blind" in "The State That I Am In" never fails to blow me away
with it's sharp and bitter edges.

Right.

Dan Hooper wrote of California's pseudo-Autumn, which I'd agree with for the
most part. However, I was up in northern Sonoma county yesterday, and I must
say that things are certainly more fall-like up there.  The grape leaves
turn all sorts of crazy colors, and the play of sun and fog causes some
crazy light effects, making everything look like a big gentle explosion of
gold and red and green.  It settled my inner East Coaster to see it.  Being
warmed inside by all sorts of fabulous wines didn't hurt, either.

>>Some time ago, I unsubscribed from the Beepster news list because I
didn't want to get it anymore. Wishful thinking. But it's quite good
now. Every time it comes through, its ponytail has grown.<<

which made me nearly choke on the sip of coffee trying to make its way down
my throat.

Unable to stand the wondering anymore, I bought a Godspeed You, Black
Emperor! cd last night.  It is the soundtrack to a long drive on lonely
roads near dusk, rain coming, and I dig it a lot.

Off to work I go--
