Sinister: I knew you were historical from all the books I've read

[Mike K]

Hello all

What a strange day it's been. I am sick (the doc says it's all in me head, but i'm fine really). I saw the strangest outdoor ad on the way home. "Lew, Lara: Now at this address (etc)". A truly weird moment. I s'pose it's a law firm or something of the sort. And sure enough arriving home i find Laura's written to the list. And every time i happen upon the word 'sinister' in a book, i stop and kind of smile, which can be very distracting, in a way. 

The Murdoch/Campbell historical family tree connection was very amusing... I sometimes wish we had clans and other things of the sort here in brazil but then again "you can wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which fills up first". 

Am i the only one that can't resist singing TBWTAS (song not album) with all the lyrics in the booklet? with "when you've been inside" at the end of the first verse etc etc. And i gaze for hours at the mysteriously italicized lines on the fold your hands booklet. Few bands have booklets as fun as B&S. Not to mention the tigermilk and IYFS booklet-stories...

I hear Teenage Fanclub might be coming down here this year which would be amazingly grate. Might the upcoming B&S tour include some south american dates? No, thought not. 

After reading Chapter 1 of Peter's Judy and the Dream of Horses, and thinking back to Belle Lettres and all that...i think someday B&S will have inspired so many short stories and poetry and little essays they could be collected in a book. Or a very nice website, anyway.

Tomorrow I get time off Literature or some other class to go teach origami to some kindergartners. The fact that I do not know origami is something i'll hopefully somehow overcome. I have moments where I think of being a teacher, but then I remember how rotten I'd be at correcting things. 

Can anyone recommend me a good Kafka book? I think I have one in portuguese, but i'd much rather read it in english for the full effect. If no one suggest anything, I suppose i'll read The Trial.

Time for medication and laying in bed for a while, listening to Gentle Waves (who, by the way, are not shit)
Love
Mike
