So I've got one question. I recently found this CD and I LOVE it, but I fear that no one else knows of it. Who knows of Steve Poltz' new solo album "One Left Shoe" (or for that matter, anything by the Rugburns)? That is all. Heather Moore (who has adopted Steve Poltz into her cutie-nerd-boy-hall-of-fame...anyone who wears a big red "L" on his left shoe and a big red "R" on his right shoe is okay in my book) ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Funny you mention your kindergarten Hallowe'en costume being youth culture oriented. I, too, dressed as a cartoon in kindergarten. Are you ready for this? I was SHE-RA Princess of Power. We made the costume, and I had the big weird chest plate with a big diamond in the middle and the frilly sheer skirt and the boots and the wrist bands and the weird wingy-head thing and a BLONDE wig (okay, to give you some reference, I'm REALLY pale and have black hair, so blonde REALLY isn't my colour) and a sword. I was all that (if I do say so myself). However, in the Hallowe'en Parade [1] the sixth graders mocked me and I didn't go in the Parade for two years afterward. Bastards. Heather Moore [1] For those unfamiliar with this custom, it is where the children in primary school wander around the building in a really long chain, and as they walk through a classroom, those students join the chain. Eventually, everyone has seen everyone else's costume, and everybody has walked all over the place.

And I mean REALLY loud. That is when one guy on my floor comes up to me and says, "We know you can't live without Früvous, and I enjoy the music too, but when they cover ABBA is when I *have* to draw the line. That just should NOT happen." It wasn't mean or anything, but I was fairly disappointed. So then I tell him he needs to hear a certain lyric and promptly play Minnie the Moocher at the Clinton part. (He's a hard-core American Republican like yours truly) He absolutely dies laughing! just wanting to share my fun tonight... anna - it's nice to see you got your page back up. Have fun!!! later, tom.
