Prizes for those that _have_ heard of these people.  ;-} You are obviously true 
indie legends, just like my main man Kirsten.  ;-}

On to other news....well, I am no longer an Official Book Burglar Catcher at 
the library.  ;-/  Our job officially ended two weeks ago-but on the upside, we 
get a nice new Book Returns Room with a huuuuuuuuggggeeee window looking out 
onto ground level Albert Street-so I get people perving at me all hours of the 
day and night.  Just like working in a cafe, really.

The Sinister Pcnic in a Library thing sounds like just my cup of Earl Grey.  
How many Sinisterenes are there in Auckland?  I could smuggle us all in here on 
a Saturday afternoon, then we could wander down to Pizza Pizza and get really 
sloshed....oh, wait a minute, I do that on my own, anyways....;-}

Ummm.  I wish my name was Will.  All the Andre's on the list, rise up with me 
now!  They can take our dignity with stupid girly-sounding names, but they can 
never take our FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM.........

I saw this girl yesterday, and...wow.  I've seen her 'round before, like when I 
worked as an Official Book Burglar Catcher on the front desk, and every time 
she's caught my eye.  Wears lots of pink, which I something I'd usually avoid, 
but she has dark hair and dark eyes, so it works.  Plus, every time I see her, 
we just seem to stare at each other until something else distracts us, then the 
moment is well and truely gone. I know I should go up and say something, but-
you know how there are some people that just melt you?  She's like that for 
me.  <sigh>  Yesterday, she was standing next to the Short Loans counter when I 
went up to drop a book in from the BR room and, I had to walk right towards her 
to return the book.  We just sort of stared at each other as I walked towards 
her, then I (being an irredemable idiot) paniced and looked down.  I placed the 
book on the counter, muttered something to the counterperson, then turned 
and...well, not quite _ran_ away, but close.  And yesterday was the last day of 
lectures, so I may get a chance like that again.  <slaps forehead>  Stupid, 
stupid Cunning Andre.  <sigh>

On that note, I'm off to do more nothing.  

Right-o, that's me,

Cunning Andre
