Thought you might like to know what good taste all us people on the Vertigo mail list have. Recently people have been posting their top five fave movies, books etc. There were also top 5 desert island disks.
I would say about 85% of people on the list put a Tori Amos recording in their top fives! Just wanted you to know what wonderful people us comic book readers are.
Hope yr exam went well.

T: everyone is doing so well….jeff got this kickass job at banker’s trust. tell you about it later. only that everybody does so well – and some people don’t do all the work. like jeff in marketing.
S: that’s the way of the world – but your turn will come for sure. at least you can be happy knowing you’ve got a great friend who will look after you and support you and even feed you and ply you with money (yeah…ok). Just work hard sweety – your reward is personal achievement – be satisfied with that and everything else will come.

8th Sep 2024 – I believe this is a reference to what one might call a driving lesson. In the dark suburban streets next to TLJ’s house, I would park around the corner, call her and tell her to sneak out. I was always so thrilled when she showed up and predictably couldn’t keep my hands off her (and she felt the same).
As we were in my little Hyundai there wasn’t much space but thankfully she was a small girl. We were sat in the driver’s seat, her on my lap facing forward, when I started the car and took off the handbrake. I told her to steer whilst I operated the pedals and we slowly buzzed around the crescent excited at the thrilling possibility of being caught in a compromising position.
Ni shi wo de pengyou.
Wo shi ne de pengyou.
Just practising. I’m bored bored bored. Oh, and tired. I’m looking after HJ on Saturday night so won’t be out with Craig (did I tell you about that – he invited me out for dinner and a gig at the Globe on Saturday night – will have to catch up with him some other time). I’m thinking of driving to Melbourne around Christmas time. Brad, the dude from Adelaide moves there next week and we agreed I should go down there sometime and Christmas would be the perfect time. I’d rather be in Taiwan though, with you, of course! Look forward to seeing you later babes.
