Well, except for that whole living 15 minutes away thing... Ah well. More lonley nights for me. *cue sappy violin music* Anyway, my life is looking very good so far. I have a coffee date with one of my just picturesque female friends tonight, I'm getting hammered with another friend on Tuesday, and I get to go see TMBG and Billy Joel on Sunday and Monday, respctively. Plus, toss into the mix that I'm having a party on Saturday, and there's gonna be Naked Time in my room, and you've got a happy man. ;) Uhhh, Bentent...... nope, nothing new. Just still waiting for Fear of Pop, Darren's solo project. ;) Laters all! Hail Eris!

I'm sure that upon checking your mail, y'all were just waiting for me to pull out my typing boots and do some posting. Well, it's Sunday night. Do I take a shower after a long game of neighborhood football? (My stat line: quarterback, 4 touchdowns thrown, 2 runs for TD; wide receiver, 1 catch for a touchdown; cornerback, 2 interceptions, 1 for a touchdown; linebacker, 4 sacks and one forced fumble)...we won 77-14. Do I do my math homework? Do I try to call Olivia once again? Hell, no. I post. Jordan has been biting my ass (not literally, natch) all weekend about posting, so this one's for you, pimp daddy. I was thinking of saying something re: the DiFranco/Davis fiasco, but you took the words out of my mouth. I know people who would literally beat the living bejeezus out of you ("womynists", for those of you familiar with "PCU", one of my all-time favorite movies) for believing Alana Davis did that song first. Needless to say, she did not. This is along the lines of believing BFF did a cover of that kick-ass Bette Midler song "Boxing". Here's my major reason why I don't believe Fear of Pop exists... Think about it. It makes more sense for it all to be a publicity scam. For instance, Jim Carrey is doing a movie about Andy Kaufman right now. They staged a scene the other day where the pro wrestler who "broke" Andy Kaufman's neck did the same thing to Carrey because he "got into the character too much". Doesn't this sound like "Fear of Pop"? Why the hell would William Shatner contribute a spoken-word track when Shatner's speaking voice is the subject of many jokes? "I....am....in....love...." I don't believe it exists. Prove me wrong if you will, but I think it's all an elaborate scam. Mark McGwire. What can I say? 70. Say all you will about Sammy Sosa, but Big Mac got hot this weekend. 70. Nice and even, and thankfully not one shy. ;P. Can you imagine? "Mark McGwire, who has a major-league record 69, heh, home runs...." The sheer amount of childishness by the Sportscenter guys as they say something like that would be fun to see, but 70 seems like way more than 69, really. The joys of the tens place. Gina's making me post this to the PF. Gingerfoot, don't yell at me. Ye Olde Olivia Update: I called her again. She still wasn't home. I will talk to her and yell at her Monday. :) - ----------NOTE-The preceding was written Sunday 8 pm EST. Switch to Monday 3 pm EST.----- OK. I got a job, first. I'm a junior techie at PC Solutions, a small computer company/retailer near my house, making $5.75 an hour to start, which is a big 60 cents more than my previous job (no longer minimum wage! YES!). If you want to see this future workplace o' mine (I start tomorrow), go to http://www.pcsolutions123.com Olivia update...she does this cute little nose thingie that I'm in love with. I'm asking her to Homecoming tomorrow. If she accepts, I'll be a happy bunny, to quote Natalie Imbrooglyoogly. Yay! Now I get to decide whether or not to quit the musical I'm in to concentrate on work and school. As much as it would break Amy's heart, who is a definite candidate for future woman o' Dan once she dumps her Deftones-lovin' boyfriend (it's going to happen; we can all see it), I believe I must. Peace, y'all. ~Dan "What do you mean we're out of condoms?

Ive been lurking and enjoying, and I come out of my hovel to ask you guys this: (BTW, for those of you who dont know me, Im Elisabeth, and you may have seen me in "Catholic school makes you pretty fuckin' weird" or "I like hot pink thigh highs with my plaid skirt" or "its time to watch bottle rocket or swingers") Anyways I need a fake id! and I happen to be a goody good...i dont even know how to go about getting one! I live in the Boston area, and the only reason I want one is so that I can be 18, and I can finally go to swing shows with my legally 18 friends. Its pure! Its all about the music! And its very frustrating, I just want to go to these shows! All the shows I want to see end up coming to the roxy, my nemisis club that has refused me admission before. Help me beat those suckers! I need advice! ~Elisabeth ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

First off, i'd like to extend the biggest and warmest welcome to my dearest Elisabeth. glad she's finally joined the order of the Fjord. secondly... it doesn't look like I'm going to be interviewing Royal Crown Revue at their show in thursday, but i talked to the rrecord company and they may end up doing a call in interview (like the one Ben did on JJJ that one night we all stayed up on IRC to listen to). so booyah. if it happens, i'll let you all know and post the URL again. my roommate made a film for her production class that is her very own passive-agressive way of telling me not to stay upo clacking on the computer when she's trying to sleep. it's called "insomnia" and it's about a guy who's roommate is keeping him awake by typing really loud. but some frieds came over last night to do some voice overs for it adn oh my god, they were so freaking funny. if anyone wants to hear 3 of my friends do their dueling jimmy stewart impressions, just ask. they recorded it on my computer, so i've got a .wav of it. it's a big mofo, but SOOOOO funny. Dan likes "PCU." how wonderful. i saw PCU twice in the theater and I own it on video. in fact, the entire reason i saw "Swingers" is because Jon Favreau (Gutter) was in it. and look what that started. actually Jon used to be one of my friends dance partners at the Derby long ago. she teaches lessons there now, and hasn't seen him in a while,but that's still super cool. I should be in class right now. but i'm not. i'm missing a while LONG lecture and screening about animation and it's link to silent film. whatever. i've already seen Pinnochio. in fact we even watched it in a class my freshman year. there's a lot of overlap in this class with that one. remind me not to take any more 200 level cinema courses that are filled with freshmen. feh. must remember to listen to stacy's show tonight... but d'oh! i don't know the URL. please post it stacy! and then of course let's not forget about my show tomorrow night. http://kscr.usc.edu. 12-4am. word. I am getting really stocked up on CDs for my show. i've talked to a dozen or so labels today and i'm feeling all resourceful. i talked to the college radio rep. at Mammoth and he's sending me a packet of promotional stuff to possuibly give away on the air. so TUNE IN! i may also be doing a RCR promotion if they end up on my show. i've got to fax a request to WB for that though. on official KSCR letterhead, no less. i don't think we even have official letterhead. good lord, i just scrolled up and realized how LONG this is. thanks for hanging in there if you did. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "My name's John Johnson, but everyone here calls me Vicki." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 16:45:29 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: KAMP is KOOL so KALL into my show!

(ask her......) secondly. almost a year or so of our delightful 'publication,' or at least this random collection of virtual people known as fjords. hell......we've had a baby. ping pong tables are the best. we should pencil them into fjordfest2. i am a little reticent about the pabst, though. i still say half & halfs are the official drink of choice..........though i'm getting very fond of grey goose. excepting perhaps spencer and his maddog. corky. i have heard most of ms. difranco's material. i've noticed, however, that the majority of my musical collection is male. and the most recent purchase i've made of a female musician was........either billie holliday or janis. mostly, the ani i've heard (and the alana i've heard) belonged to my strong-willed and independant girlfriends. the ones w/the unshaved legs. thank you for the 3.14159265358979323. i have yet to complain whenever a girlfriend i've had was 'unusually interested in sex.' i believe it's foolish to complain about it. do you gentlemen concur? jeff buckley. has an angelic voice, liked leonard cohen, died too young, and managed to create breath-taking music while he was here. belle and sebastian. create ultra-pop, with a british twist. (yes, i know they aren't british, wink.) that's my take. sandi. i am relatively sure that my posts are always largely incoherent. i never apologize. why should you? matthew ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 01:21:49 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: bleh I just realized something. I'm going to be working for a very third-rate computer company. VERY third-rate. I stopped in tonight to see Andy and ask when I needed to come in (3 pm tomorrow). The place is a dump. It's the epitome of a sleazy storefront with all these used monitors on display and a bunch of wilted plants (the watering of which will likely be my job) in the front window. And their web site is a shame. It hasn't been updated since May and it reeks of inexperience and misspelling. But they're paying me $5.75 an hour. I don't complain anymore. But if Noodle Kidoodle comes calling, I'm booking the joint. They don't even have fluorescent lights at PC Solutions. :P I'll post back tomorrow night with my experiences at work. It should be a blast, but there's always the chance that I could hate it. ~Dan ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #259 *********************************
