Pants of Spite nuthin woohoo Shipment ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 10:17:19 -0500 From: shirak@umich.edu Subject: Hello, hello, hello Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can here me Is there anyone at all? Wow, single post day. And yours truly saved the Files from being barren. Kinda makes me feel special. ;) Anyway, one of my best friends came into town last night, and we ended up boozing the night away after his car broke down. It's a bad thing when you realize that funny beeping noise that's been happening for about an hour isn't just in your dream and is in fact your alarm. ;) We're supposed to head back to his part of the state today, but that looks tenative. Ah well, I'll manage something. I always do. Anyway, actual live Bentent! Last night, my friend Shayna brought her new boy-toy over. Shayna's my baby-girl and she's all punk rock, so I have to check this guy out to see how cool he is. We're chilling in my room (or as it's more commonly known, the Den of Sin) and he looks up and notices the signed poster I got at when Kristen and I went to go see The Boys live. He starts commenting how cool that is, immediately getting my approval. I might just turn him into a COF member. OUr numbers are growing! ;) Anyway, back to the salt mines. Laters all!

Relax I need some information first Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Hey everyone. I've been lurking for way too long (last posted in December?). Since then I've transferred back to my old school (after just a quarter hiatus). I love it here and I've very glad I came back. Anoop mentioned something about the B&S EP, Modern Rock. I have a friend w/all the EPs and she taped it and Tigermilk for me. I just love the EP, and I've listened to it way too much. Also I received the Dave Matthews w/ Tim Reynolds live acoustic CD (recorded in Luther College, Decorah Iowa). It's really good, I love being able to decipher lyrics w/o a lot of effort. Luckily, I've been able to review movies for my campus paper, so if you're interested in The Faculty, Varsity Blues, or A Bug's Life the articles can be found at www.mrs.umn.edu/~register/ae.shtml (for the faculty, just tool around and you'll find the others in the last 2 issues). Moving back has created a bunch of relationship/dating issues. My dilemma: I asked a wonderfully fun girl for coffee last week, which was a bunch of fun. The problem was that I was asked to eat dinner with another almost as wonderful girl the same day, but about 3 hours previous. I spent time with the both of them, but now it seems that the coffee-date girl and I aren't on the same page. SO, I offered to cook for the other and we had a great time yesterday. I'm stuck. I know I'm not ready to be serious with just one person after recently returning to town, but I really like this girl and I'd like to cook for her again and spend some more time with her. Any suggestions? Thanks for listening. tommy k ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 16:37:39 -0800 From: Blue Green Olga Subject: Pants of Spite The new Jetta commmercial is entrancing. It makes me want to go out and buy one. But at the same time, it's taunting me. The "swish-swish" of the windshield wipers is actually whispering to me "not for you-not-for you." Stupid Farvergnugen. I'm waiting for a phone call that could make me say "ka-ching" a lot... yet the phone is QUIET. grrr. That "There are OR scrubs." "Oh are they?" joke from Rushmore NEVER gets old. i laughed my arse off when i saw the movie in December and I still laugh every time I see that trailer. yay Wes Anderson. The LA Weekly has a really great article on him this week. http://www.laweekly.com. Elisabeth, if it isn't on the site, i'll mail it to you. She's All That tonight. apparently it's quite funny. My friends Erik and Al are even seeing it with us tonight and they saw it 3 weeks ago for the press junkets. Too bad Usher ruins the damn dance sequnce. he sucks. But Liz Phair and the Afghan Whigs are on the soundtrack -- at least that's what the press release tells me. I'm hungry... I think i'll go make some ramen (Cajun chicken!) and watch Days of Our Lives. At least the damn sattelite is in position. it's about freaking time. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Cans; money!

Courtney's show rocks. Even though I didn't hear it. =-) John's show rocks too. Listen. I hope mine was good, but you must the judge for yourself. check out my webpage. Stacy ps ok, real Ben Folds bentent- last months AP (or this months?) had a nifty article about the boys with a new picture. I was a happy girl.

The shirts are kinda scary looking, but I'm only 5'2", but they're totally hilarious! The large size, which was the smallest they had to offer me, will not fit me like it would a taller person, but it's worth the money anyway. I like the poster, as well. It's kinda fuzzy, and you don't get the faces of any of the band members, but it's the best thing I've seen in forever. Better than anything I have. I even have this huge ass subway poster that I got from eBay months ago that I just stored away because I can't find a place to put it up where it won't get torn! I think I like the poster I got from the main BFF site better, as it's more like your standard poster, and Ben is singing on top of his piano. I just love any pictures of seeing Ben sing on top of the piano, as from what I've experienced in the 5 shows I've seen, he doesn't do it all that much. I know he did it more often when they were just starting out, but I'm sure you know what I mean in terms of sentimentality. I'm buying my first new car, all financed on my own, tomorrow. Of course, I didn't manage my own bank accounts well and find that after I get done with the down payment I agreed to, I'll only have less than $100 left to my name after the deal is done. Oops! But my parents were there with men when I was negotiating, and they ended up offering to pay for my cassette and CD changer as a "birthday present". They were just so proud as to how I did the negotiations myself without their help, they were just there to "ground" me so I wouldn't feel too stressed and do something stupid like agree to an outrageous price because I fell in love with the car. It's just a Neon, so it's nothing to get all that excited about, but for me, some reliable transportation is very welcome right now. And heat and intermettent wipers seem like a touch of heaven to me! I can't wait to get my grubby hands on this car! Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent my excitement!
