You know, it's the TOTALLY annoying music major people (as opposed to the 3 or 4 actually not annoying music majors that MIGHT go to your school). I mean, these kids...>GRRRR...you just want to smack them all in the head and tell them to go flush themselves down the shitter. Anyway, they all have these cutesie KKPsi sweatshirts, on the back of which they all have some overly-stupid, totally-inside-joke nicknames printed. Today I saw "Uncle Walter" on one. I think i might stop liking BFF now.

Sandi is only a mere 40 minutes away from me and dammit, i have no way of getting to Anahiem and she has no way of getting to L.A. proper. damn. SO close..yet so NOT. my Hitchcock midterm was yesterday and it sucked my will to live. someone please tell me David o'Selznick's contributions to the films 'Rebecca' and 'Spellbound.' yeah, i didn't think so. i need to sleep. it evaporated.........see? ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Can I borrow your eyelash curler?" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 15:27:22 EST From: Emmaline20@aol.com Subject: Halloween Hi. I've never posted before, but the whole Halloween costume thing just pulled me in. I keep thinking about the scene from "Austin Powers" where Dr. Evil comes back and is meeting hi staff and he's just like "...some of you I'm meeting for the first time.." Blah blah blah...so yeah. I was actually going to be Austin Powers for Halloween, but I couldn't find the costume anywhere. Instead I have chosen to be a philosophy major :) Perhaps I'm the only one who finds humor in that...basically it results from my philosophy TA freshman year who wore black all the time. Ooohhh..and someone won tickets to see Semisonic..Courtney I think it was. I saw them at Pearl Street two weeks ago and I couldn't take my eyes off of Dan Wilson..the man oozes sex. The music was really good too :) Sarah :) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 16:30:48 -0600 From: Vamprrella Subject: Ben Folds on William Shatner Hi all -- a friend of mine sent this to me from SPINonline on AOL (Keyword: SPIN). Love, Kristin ______________________________________ Ben Folds on William Shatner: "He's Got Books!" With his appearance on Ben Folds' upcoming side project Fear of Pop and the growing cult surrounding his The Transformed Man album, actor William Shatner may emerge as the new alt-rock icon of the '90s. Reporting the news that Folds and Shatner were to duet on the track "In Love" (see Soundbytes 10/26 date) wasn't enough for us at SPINonline. We were afflicted with an insatiable desire to know more. So, we went to the source and asked Folds the question that's bound to haunt him for years to come, "What's Shatner really like?" Folds: "He's in his own world. But it's a really cool thing. That's why he's unique." And what happened upon entering that unique world? Folds: "When we were in the studio he was interested in the music business. He tried to give me a perspective on the entertainment business from the point of view of someone who is 67 years old and has been doing it since he was 20. Musicians, well maybe you have a hit record and it's been five years, but he's been doing this for so long. It's kind of cool. He's got books. He's written and directed movies, he was in some of the first Twilight Zone episodes. He's one of the older kind of..." Mentors, Ben? "Yeah, in a way, in a way. I don't know if mentor would be the word but definitely a..." Role model? "Yeah, it's hard to describe, just an inspiration really. You don't get that much from people older, at least in my business...With the music business I can't really talk to Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain, can I?" Thankfully William Shatner never joined that stupid club. Ben Folds will shake off the Shatner-stuck daze and head into the studio next week to record the follow-up to the platinum Whatever and Ever Amen. Look for it in March of '99. Log on to SPINonline repeatedly for the full transcript of the Ben Folds interview. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 18:16:28 EST From: Sandibrady@aol.com Subject: Ginger! She's an Old Navy girl! In a message dated 10/28/98 11:34:47 AM Eastern Standard Time, gnance@email.unc.edu writes: << So Sandi is in CA right now...lucky girl. Her new boy says he'll write a song about me--it's called "Ginger, the Old Navy Girl." I swear, I should be Old Navy's version of the Snapple Lady or something. I do so much for those people... >> California...but I haven't seen the outdoors much since I've been here... Sasha prefers to be holed up in their hotel room with his trains...so that's what we've been doing...that and going downstairs to get chocolate chip cookies, coffee, etc. Room service galore I tell ya....I've never had this much room service in my life...at least 2 meals a day....I'm surprised I don't have a cramp in my hand from signing those little slips of paper saying we're charging it to the room. But it's good food...great food I'd have to say....there's something really cool about picking up the phone, ordering food, and having them bring this big table to you with roses on it and good food...and all you have to do is sign for it. Rock on. Things are good when you know the bill's not coming to you....although I do plan on paying for my phone charges....$1 each time I sign on to AOL because local calls are $1...and then it's 10 cents for every minute over 30. So it's like I feel obligated to stay online for 30 minutes- no more, no less every damn time I sign on to send or get my mail.... This is taking up the majority of my off- time, which is after 8 or 9 pm pretty much. Although I have a break right now for about an hour....and here I am, typing up email... "Ginger! She's an Old Navy giiiirrrlll." That's all I can remember of the song. But I'm sure he'll come up with more for you Ginger.... :) That will be a hit along with the rocker he plans on writing entitled "Goodbye Forever" or perhaps there will be a hit with one that he will surely write in a month or two entitled "Bitch is gone - I dated Sandi - Part One" and shortly thereafter, Part Two will emerge: "Bitch is Back" oh wait...that's already a song...LA Guns I believe... Okay...I need to get back to work.....lest I babble some more..... Sandi ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #291 *********************************
