I was overweight, oily skinned, and had no clue how to pick-up women. When I did get them to date me, I was obviously boring or something because I hardly ever got more than three dates with a women before she blew me off. If I did happen to get them to bed, I was usually secretly embarrassed because I knew I probably would no last long enough to satisfy her. It was pretty pathetic. I lost weight, and ended up being decent looking and even had a pretty good build. Still, no luck. I could not get women; let alone beautiful drop-dead women. Then I got some advice from a couple guys who did pretty good with women, and there were not even that good looking. I realized that it was not all about looks or weight; it was about attitude and truly knowing what women want. Then giving to them. Soon I was walking up to any woman I wanted and leaving with her phone number. And guess what, when I called, she answered! Dates were great, and I even learned how to be a dream lover in bed. A few simple techniques and I could last all night and have her screaming for more. It is truly amazing how a few simple tips and learning about women changed my life. Now I get to pick the ones I want! What's more amazing, is I am 20 lbs overweight and starting to bald, and still, can have my pick. It really is simple, if your love life and sex life is not where you want it to be, I can teach you from the very first step of knowing what to wear to attract a woman no matter what you look like, to approaching her and getting a date, and on to what to do and not do on the dates. I will then tell you how to romance her and become the lover she brags about to all her friends. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 08:16:51 GMT From: Tony Blackman Subject: Re: big Nipp on Ebay Yep, one's "Trouble" by 999, stalwarts of the UK punk scene, famous for "Homicide" and "Emergency".

That was the same gig that I gave a Thoth to Elliott Smith... a shining moment... Anyway, my band finished its demo last night - it sounds pretty patchy, but it gives an idea of the songs, at least. I was thinking of calling it the "Passable EP." The drummer of the band, a moody fellow with a monobrow (take note!), played the part of Steve Albini for us, and last night I was inspired to break into song: If you'll be my Steve Albini I can be your Polly Jean I can be your Santiago You can record my Bone Machine.

Im already buried under half-read books-- "Why God won't go away : brain science and the biology of belief" by Newberg(really interesting on the biological makeup of altered states of consiousness), "Passionate Nomad: the life of Freya Stark", "A Girl like I" recced by our own oh so lovely Victorian Squid and about 10 gardening books, now two more must-reads! Ahhhhh!(love it, love it.) Lennon had stagefright. I never knew that. I used to want to throw up fore school plays(thou only if I had the lead), but they were few and far between. How could someone have stagefright with all that early on-stage time? Jeeez. No wonder some of the drugs and booze. - ----- Jill--while I dont hold Abbey Road quite as low as you(no shoes thrown by me, but youd probobly half guessed that), I dont hold it quite as high as others either. At the time I also liked the Who and the Kinks better. And the Stones. Shamefull, Shamefull Confession time: In 69 thru the early 70s I(besides being an obvious twit) thought I was too hip for the Beatles. I would argue that any of the three above were a better, more interesting band. Sgt Pepper was the last Beatles album I listened to heart and soul. I rekindled my love of the Beatles later, in the early 80s. And for me, the very early, when I was a teeny-bop stuff("She Loves You" will make me smile till I die) and the the Rubber Soul - Sgt Pepper periods are golden. I like induvidual songs from other times(especially John's and some of George's stuff) but I dont put on anything past Sgt Pepper and listen to it in its entirety. Remember, this was the period of Beggers Banquet to Exile on Mainstreet, Village Preservation Society to Kinks Kronickles and Magic Bus to Quadraphinia(apologies if my dates are slightly off.) Incredible, amazing stuff. So you can all throw some of those shoes at me too;-). Jill--Im going to find that Fury theme or -die- trying! - --- Nuppy: >I always thought John Cusack would make a good John Lennon. O wonderful Ultymate Goal, it pains me to say this but-- you outa youre fucking mind:-)?!? Lennon had face. He started out with alot of face-- crooked teeth, honker of a nose, heavy jaw. Over time all this got whittled down but even so--there was still strong bone structure there. Hmm-dilemma ... Now here I am--face to face with my second waiting on a celebrity at Rizzoli's tale in less than a week. Do I dodge it decouraously, sniff politely about privacy and say something coy ...or do I barge right in and blurt it all out. Heh, heh. Which do you think? (All of you who disapprove of such things , well--hit delete now.) So there I am on a winter's afternoon in the front room of the old Rizzolis, dressed slightly eccentriquelly in what I then called half drag(this -was- the 70s.) My hair pulled back , button down shirt, scarf as tie, man's vest, jacket and then a femme gauzzy pouffy skirt over bad girl very high-heeled black platform boots. As a final touch my great-grandfathers Phillippe Paticke pocket watch with its chain dangling thru a vest button-hole into a pocket. I was quite the dandy. So--across the room is a guy looking at a book. A handsome guy. A handsome guy with brown hair in a nondescript brown coat. Good features. My type. Im about to go over and flirt when in a flash of instentanious enlightenment I take in the female next to him. The small, asian woman wearing the biggest fur coat Id ever seen with a monster of a fur hat. An outfit screaming money, which went well with the neon sign on her head flashing "Yoko Ono." Looked back at the cute guy. Oh my fucking God. Now I grew up in NY with a minor local celebrity as a godfather, with Judy Garland having some sort of seizure in my parents living room on Christmas afternoon when I was about 12(scared the hell out of me)and in short all sorts of celebrity encounters. I prided myself on being fairly unfazable but here I was totally, utterly fazed, feet glued to the ground. At which point some weird voice in my head(it -must- have been those pesky Martians again) said--"you were going to flirt with him when he was just a cute guy. Why penalize him just for being John Lennon." And somehow I launched myself across that floor and started to talk to him. What we said I cant remember. It had something to do with the book in his hand. I was amazed I was acting coherently. He seemed pleased. Yoko came over. She wanted a copy of an eastern classic which had just come out in a new edition--"Tales of the Genjie." She didnt want a possibly-handled one from off the table. Nooooo -- she wanted one from, as she pointed vertically--"up there" "Up there" was the display area above what was basicailly a 16-foot or so bookcase. We had a nice easy, on runners ladder for the top shelves. But for the part over the tall, percipitous cornice--well, there was a rickity death-trap ladder kept over in the corner. Getting the ladder(something told me that trying to reason with Ono on the suitability of one of the copies on the table could well end in my dismissel)I set it up, looking, Im sure, suitably trepidatious since Lennon asked me if I would like him to hold the uneven vechicle of my immenent demise. So up I went in those high high heels, keeping my feet jammed agaisnt the side of the ladder in an attempt to steady myself. I finially reached the top, reached over and gained my prize at which point I looked down at Lennon, who was smiling up at me. Back on earth I rung them up. Lennon, still smiling asked me the time and I had a wonderful moment of well--satisfaction. Cause if Lennon, for all his legion of Im sure quite horrible character traits personified anything in our culture--it was the authenticity of the truelly fucked-up, all the creative cripples trying to hooble their way thru a world of posers and pedents. Well--so it felt to me. So,pulling my watch out I must have beamed as I read the time out to him from it. Yes, it worked. No, it wasnt just an affectation. It, like me, was the true gen. He seemed pleased. They left, with him still smiling. And thats that folks. Except for one, oh --little-- detail. Remember how this was the seventies. Well--I didnt quite describe my whole outfit. Or rather I did, but I neglected to mention that --drumroll please... I wasnt wearing any underwear. OK everybody, you can throw shoes at me now. Kay Anyway, Lennon was a handsome guy, handsome in a face way, not a nothing anyone could ever dislike about my face, what did they do with my nose, bland, botox all personality away way-- which is how Cusack looks to me. Now--he may be a great actor, I dont really remember seeing him in anything so I cant judge that. But Cusack is -not- memorable-looking and Lennon was. My--that sure got my huff-factor going;-). Well-- I just really liked the way Lennon looked. I liked that most of the great 60s music people weren't really pretty boys. Back then ... they had faces. Oy. - --- LJ: >You know what also works really well? Ground up eggshells. It's >the ol' death by a million cuts thing... Hmmm, cooool. Thanks.

(longish) There is going to be a Studio Ghibli retrospective at the Barbican in London, and showings of selected films at other sites - http://www.digital.anime.org.uk/news/20010725.html - - Steve Press Release: "All eyes are on the Japanese box office at the moment watching the run-away success of Hayao Miyazaki's SPIRITED AWAY which is set to steal the box-office record set by Studio Ghibli's PRINCESS MONONOKE - the most popular Japanese animated film of all time. The delights of Studio Ghibli are mostly unknown to a British audience but all that is about to change with a major retrospective at the Barbican and nationwide, plus the release of Princess Mononoke on DVD and Video by Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Studio Ghibli - The Art of Japanese Animation comes to Barbican Screen, London this autumn, plus selected titles will tour to Bristol; Manchester; Oxford; Edinburgh; Cambridge; Glasgow; Belfast and Cardiff during January and February 2002. Part of Japan 2001 Festival of Art and Culture, this is the first time ever that a comprehensive retrospective of the work of Tokyo's Studio Ghibli will be seen in the UK. Founded by directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata in the 1980s Studio Ghibli is treasured by fans, young and old, for creating captivating and stunningly detailed animated feature-length films which characteristically weave intricate, multi-layered plots with emotionally complex characters, and at the same time keep a grip on the social, economic and ecological realities of today's world. Lauded by critics, animators and filmmakers Studio Ghibli made international box-office history with Princess Mononoke (Mononoke Hime) which is the most successful Japanese film ever at the box office and briefly held the international record now claimed by Titanic. Right from the start Miyazaki and Takahata were determined that the quality of the output from Studio Ghibli would never be compromised in favour of profit, and in the early years profitability sailed close to the wind. The first film Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind (1984) was a triumph critically and made a profit, just. But the commercial and artistic factors of the films, and nothing else, continue to be the driving force behind Studio Ghibli. Unusually in today's profit-driven film-industry, particularly animation, merchandising spin-offs are not automatically built into the marketing plan - despite the fact that the characters are very marketable - Totoro from My Neighbour Totoro (who is to Miyazaki what Mickey Mouse is to Disney) is a perfect example, and one where Studio Ghibli did eventually licence the merchandising but only after the film had already gone into profit. The studio's first major success came in 1989 with Kiki's Delivery Service which attracted over 2.64 million people and became the number one domestic hit that year. At the time the animation industry in Japan was in decline and to ensure Studio Ghibli's continuing growth and success a new recruitment policy came into play. Instead of paying animators piecework, per number of drawings, Studio Ghibli started to recruit on a secure, full-time salaried basis with annual recruitment drives and training, creating a stable and artistically consistent studio. Equally unusually, in Japan and internationally, Studio Ghibli's films are made for theatrical release rather than for TV. Miyazaki and Takahata realized early in their partnership that if they were going to achieve the high quality, in-depth work that they desired, they would need to be made for theatrical release, as TV demands short lead-in times and tight budgets. Eleven feature length films and one short will play during Studio Ghibli: The Art of Japanese Animation. To coincide with this complete retrospective, Princess Mononoko will be released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment on Monday 22 October on VHS and a limited edition DVD Box Set which will include Helen McCarthy's definitive book "Hayao Miyazaki, Master of Japanese Animation" - Helen McCarthy's book will also be on sale in the cinema foyer throughout the season." __________ He may call himself conservative, but he is not. He is an insurgent who is out to upend America's defenses, eliminate our progressive tax system, undermine the separation of church and state, reduce environmental protection, and turn the clock back on reproductive rights. - Tanya Melich, Republican consultant, on George W.
