Sinister: Tales from the windy city plus a bonus rant

[The Cat's Pajamas]

Hey everyone,

After this first paragraph, I launch into a rant that probably won't really 
interest anybody.  Not that this paragraph is that great either...Anyway, I 
got my B+S tickets in the mail a couple of days ago along with a friend's 
wedding invitation out of town for that same day.  After much deliberation, 
I decided that a friend who would schedule their wedding on a Belle and 
Sebastian concert date is really no friend at all.  I'll mail them their 
stupid blender and my regrets later in the week.  Actually, I'll probably 
try to make it to both so I'll be running the circuit from Chicago to 
Champaign both ways that day.  Speaking of Chicago, the Chicago bowling 
meeting was great.  We were the twee-est bowlers in town and all of Chicago 
shivered in fear at our collective bowling might.  Mad props to my Chicago 
homies Jen, Ray, and Robert.  Anybody who will be at the Chicago show would 
be wise to e-mail so I maybe I can start working on something.  I don't know 
where the theater is, or what the neighborhood around there is like so maybe 
I'm not the best man for the job...but e-mail me anyway so I can know who to 
expect.  Allright...this is the part with the rant, however in my next 
e-mail which will hopefully come later tonite, I have photographic proof of 
Ken cloning scheme underway by microsoft.  Stay tuned, same bat time, same 
bat channel, for my next post ;)

Sadly, I haven't been around too much lately.  Work has kept me really busy. 
  I'm actually e-mailing from work right now.  The most *perfect* girl just 
left the office, unfortunately she's one of my coworkers. So I'm sitting 
here and listening to the Strokes and stewing.  Why stewing you ask?  Well, 
because said girl would be completely happy to be sitting here listening to 
the strokes with me...in fact it seems we would be happy doing a lot of 
things together.  If it weren't for some old crush of hers appearing out of 
the woodwork to muck things up.  I'm in Chicago, this feller is from 
Montana, some 1500 miles away.  I've been crushing on her for weeks now, and 
suddenly a couple of weeks ago this guy appears out of nowhere, and now she 
is pondering what is going to happen between the two of them.  At first I 
dismissed it as just a flicker from an old flame, and a couple of days I was 
ready to let her know about my top-secret crush, but when I got to work that 
morning she was positively GLOWING because boy had called and confessed his 
mutual crush, and said he was flying in to visit.  GAHHH!!!!  So now, I'm 
forced to sit and wait and see what comes of this visit.  Are they going to 
decide that 1500 miles isn't too far?  Will they rehash old times, and 
decided that reality is going to get in the way of their crushes?  Does this 
girl have any clue about me?  Does it really matter what I think until she 
figures this thing out?  My hopes or guesses are: yes, yes, no,no.

So yes, I'm in a real pisser of a mood lately.  And I want VERY bad things 
to happen to Montana. But how can I not respect this kind of effort?  You've 
got to give the guy a gold star for trying...but it still leaves a terrible 
taste in my mouth.  Bah.  End of rant.  Thanks for hearing me out, y'all.

Jason
