Sinister: Yay! It's stuff relating to me in some fashion or another!

[Carmel Petra Wright]

Heather,
 I've heard of Pink Martini and listened a bit to their
record.  Definitely a cool band, I just don't have
anything of theirs.

I have actually lived here in rainy Portland (coming from
rainy Seattle) for a couple years.  I'm going to school
down here and I'm in my third year.  There are some cool
indie kids around, mostly hiding, but I just don't know
many of them.  My school is full of the Abercrombie kids
driving their SUVs that mommy and/or daddy bought them as
recompense for their lonely childhoods.  So, I am swamped
with Rosie 105 listeners....sigh.  Oh well, I guess
someone needs to listen to that stuff.  It's like the
good old philosophy that we need bad to contrast the good
so we realize the full meaning of the good.  That's all
for now. Sleep well sinisterinos!
