Sinister: many things of great interest

[Hugo Shannon]

hello all!

what a day,
i think i've finally expeienced 'high society' in my adopted hometown.
having recently read american psycho and bonfire of the vanities i was 
briefly infatuated with the yuppie lifestyle. ( I could wear those suits, 
eat those meals, meet those models...)
however, i was disturbed when i found myself (unwittingly) in the place of 
sleazebag english journalist from bonfires, being presented with several 
drinks just because i was sitting at the same table as some peple who knew 
some people who knew me.

i did drink the drinks.

and i'm talking about nottingham england in case anyone thinks i'm alluding 
to much photographed sites of world class glamour.

i've always known there were people who earned good salaries here, i just 
never thought i'd go to the sort of place they did. (the social - where 
sometimes indie bands play !)
the drinks i drank cost more than those i bought (for the people i did know 
who bought me drinks - the fair and reasonable way of spending a nite on the 
town). this has left me feeling bad. i didn't want the drinks i was given 
(not that much anyway), and i couldn't possibly repay everyone who indulged 
me. all i can conclude is that some people are overpaid.

aside from all that, a lot of people have been talking about dreams lately. 
some people have sounded quite depressed too. its impossible to say this 
without sounding cliched or stupid, but things ALWAYS get better. my 
considered advice  - bearing in mind i'm a long way off being grrey haired - 
is not to think of pirates or witches (particulatly witches, or even, 
forgive me for entertaining the notion - pirate-witches) when trying to 
sleep. this should result in less nitemares.

happy dreams  can come true too. they often do. my favourite ever dream 
involved me and some friends rescuing a unicorn from a shelter in the woods 
made of blue spongy stuff. i was less than 10 years old. i'm pretty sure i'd 
not seen ridley scotts's legend at this point in my life. and so,

** belle and sebastian content** hearing judy and the dream of horses  for 
the first time struck a chord.

more stuff:

i've got tickets for the albert hall, is there a definite pre gig picnic - 
after gig club nite going on? i could stay at my brothers flat but it would 
be far more rock and roll to go out and get the first train home -WITHOUT 
HAVING SLEPT!!

i'm a little tipsy writing this, and am sure i've broken the 15 min rule.
so i'll continue.

80's films have been discussed. i'm confused betweeen pretty in pink and 
some kind of wonderful. is one a remake of the other? ferris beuller has a 
cabaret voltaire poster in his room. i think the film would have been 
infinitely more satisfying if master ferris had got his comeuppance(sp).

the best 80's film is labyrinth.

this e-mails getting uncontrollably long, so i'll end with an apology for my 
mock turtles/pwei pedantry.

perhaps there are two songs by the title can u dig it?  (i just don't know 
the mock turtles one. i probably should - i'm sure it would make me a less 
uptight person)

love and sweet dreams.
hugo.
