Sinister: electricity comes from other planets

[ian nicolson]

ey oop!

i've been kinda ultra-busy of late and not really been
able to keep up with the list, so this morning i sat
down and waded through 155 posts AND READ EVERY ONE OF
THEM.  so i'm going kinda mental now and my eyes are
flickering a bit from staring at puter screens, but it
was worth it, cause they were all ace, cause you're
all such luverly people.  etcetera.

but having been so busy for these past few weeks, i'm
pretty much finished college *forever* now, which can
be quite exciting from the point of view that there's
a whole big world out there just waiting for me to
take it on, but there's also the big temptation of
'hmm, maybe i could just stay in bed...'.  so i'm not
quite sure what i'm going to do now and there's a big
stretch of uncertainty and emptiness ahead i guess.  i
probably will just stay in bed for a bit.  at least
i've got the new album to keep me company.

unlike a lot of you i hadn't heard it before
yesterday, so it was dead exciting.  i nearly ran from
the record shop to the bus stop to go home, before
realising that me running would only slow me down as
i'd have to lie on the pavement for a bit to
recover...i was a bit apprehensive as well, given what
some people had written and the fact that it *only*
got four out of five in the sunday herald, but i
needn't have worried, cause it really is ace.  and i'm
pretty sure i'm saying that for real and not just
cause i want it to be.  it was pretty much on repeat
yesterday and listening to it on my walkman on the bus
this morning i was still getting goosebumps every two
minutes (even with one earphone not working).  i think
'there's too much love' got the biggest goosebump
rating, although 'woman's realm' and 'i fought in a
war' were up there too.  but you knew this already. 
someone said that 'beyond the sunrise' would be most
likely to cause list comment and i have to say i could
probably have done without it, although it might grow,
solely due to its silliness.  and what does 'nice day
for a sulk' remind me of?  good to see a mention of
the mightly fall, though (as john peel would say). 
'don't leave the light on baby' is GRATE *and*
different, so they are moving on, idiot music hacks.

i'd luv to be able to get to the edinburgh picnic on
saturday, but i'm not sure if i'll make it.  my big
f-off college leaving thing, with ballgowns, tuxedos
and kilts and stuff, is on friday and me hungover is
likely to scare the children.  i should be looking
forward to it, i guess, but i know that a certain
person who's going will leave me hurt and disappointed
yet again, which is not a nice thing to know or look
forward to.  so i'll probably spend saturday in bed
listening to 'slow graffiti' over and over.  not for
the first time...but hey! my stoopid problems are *so*
boring and maybe going to the picnic will make me feel
better.  i've never been to one before, and i'd really
like to, so i'll try my best.  doubt if i'll be eating
much, mind...

see yah

luv
ian n
