Sinister: When there was nothing more to preserve, she began to pickle

[Lila]

I'll say, Struan has a love/hate relationship with summer:
"I know where the summer dwells/ When you're having no fun/When you're under
the thumb" (what does being under the thumb mean anyway?)
"I spent the summer wasting/ The sky was blue beyond compare"

I just returned from my college-seeing trip in the Northeast.  It was a week
of driving around in a rented silver Pontiac Sunfire named Stevie, listening
to Glaxie 500 until my mother complained, and getting lost somewhere between
Cambridge and Boston.  There's nothing like being 17 and being unsure of
where you'll be the next year, and having no better luck with career plans
either.  I'm sure life after college doesn't get any easier, listening to
the tales of other Sinisterites.  I know I shouldn't be using Sinister as a
college-searching utility, but if you happen to go to a college in the East
coast, do you think you can share your insight of your school?  That would
be greatly appreciated.  Oh! And when I was in Rhode Island, I saw a big B+S
display outside a record store, and I was so excited I took a picture.  I am
jealous of whoever got a Jonathan David video in a record store, because
there are absolutely no record stores where I live.

Yay! B+S in the US.  Although I live in Florida, I am most definetly driving
to wherever B+S may land on the West Coast, probably in California.  I
wonder if anyone is hosting a "picnic" (such a foreign word!) before the
concert?  Well, I shouldn't get carried away; they haven't even announced
anything yet, I think.

I keep on having nightmares about the Emcee in the play "Cabaret".  I went
to see Cabaret when I was in NY, and the light kept on reflecting on his
nipples, because he had red sequins attached to them.  It was so eerie it
made me laugh.

I have been volunteering at the museum lately. It's a relatively easy job,
pasting articles into scrapbooks.  I work with a 50-year old woman who
constantly makes eyes at the man who comes in to make coffee for us.  I get
embarrassed for her.  And there is a Dirk Bogarde look-alike at the museum
office; that's never good.

I've been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros lately.  Thanks to Blake for the
strong recommendation.  I think he sings in "Hopelandish", or whatever it is
called, but I can't tell, since I can't speak Icelandic.  I have also been
listening to Archaic Smile.  Has anyone heard of them?

Well, that's all for me.  Take care

Lila
