I even semi-cast the Fruvi as Middle-Earthites, and we all know the cover of C has them as hobbits *G*) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostovesky (it was actually for a school assignment but I love that book!) The Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan (I just finished the 8th book under the pretense that it was the last in the series, and the last chapter REALLY pissed me off so I chucked it across the room and contmplated ripping out that chapter..so iff you ever read that, skip the last chapter) Angela's Ashes (another book that really pissed me off, not for the content, but just the way it was written) and I'm soon to start The Druid of Shannarah by Terry Brooks. (what can I say? I'm a fantasy fan!" Musically wise I'm not planning anything, if a concert comes around here that sounds interesting, or is a band I like I'll probably go..but NO PLANS!!!

OK, good start there with the suggestion of discussing peeps...but what's all this nonsense about books and music? What about '80s TV shows? What about the age-old question, "What's a batnose?" What about -- dare I say it - -- the infamous Jian scent? :) No, in all seriousness... Books: I just finished _The Late Mr. Shakespeare_ by Robert Nye, which I was plugging on the wall the other day. It's a fictionalized account of Shakespeare's life, from the pov of an actor in his company, and it's an English major's dream come true. I've started _Emotionally Weird_ by Kate Atkinson, which is so far a really funny and original book which has way too much fun with point of view and is full of insane characters. Whoo-hoo! and Music: Gordon the Batnose King and I will hopefully be at Saturday's GBS show at the 9:30 Club in DC. That's the only definite plan I have at the moment, tho the fact that I'm getting MY OWN CAR within the next few weeks will hopefully mean more concerts to come this fall. Yeah, that about covers it.

Everyone is officially invited to come visit me. Take the E-41 to Leuven and head straight down Brusselstraat 'til you see the Grote Markt. Then make a right onto Parijstraat which turns into Schapenstraat, my street. We're number 80. Just ring the buzzer. Seriously, though . . . right now I'm mostly reading for class ("The Symbolism of Evil" by Paul Ricoeur and a bunch of ICJ documents), but I just finished John Irving's "A Widow for One Year" and Samuel Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order." I just started "The Jesuits" by Lacoutre (can't remember the first name) and am steeling myself for another crack at Henry Kissinger's "Diplomacy." Other than that, my plans are to read some Jane Austen, "Middlemarch," anything I can get my hands on regarding China, the Middle East, and the Balkans, everything Douglas Adams has ever written and, if time permits, some more South Africa stuff.

Joy in the Morning? :) I had to read that in high school - but I love "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" more. And the movie is one of my favorites!

I *heart* Peeps. How can you not like Peeps? Whateva. I mean sure yeah, they taste bad, but you have to eat them anyway. As for books, for class I am currently reading the short stories of Chekov, "An Anthropologist on Mars" by Oliver Sacks (an interesting book about how people overcome and adjust tohorrible afflictions like colorblindness and autism.), "The Doctor Stories" by Richard Selzer, the Duino Elegies, and assorted short stories by my peers. In my free time I choose to read the newsgroup and wall. As for concerts, I am probably going to see Dar when she comes to Indy. I saw BNL in Cincy last Thursday. I will see them when they come to Indy in December. I will probably see Jennie Devoe when she comes to Butler (check her out she is a wicked cool local artist, jdevoe.com) and who knows who else.

Shows are generally Saturday nights at 8:00pm in the fellowship Hall of the Twelve Corners Presbyterian Church, 1200 South Winton Road, Brighton, NY 14618. For more information, contact Glenn Drinkwater or Cilla Shaw at 29 Sweden Hill Road, Brockport, NY 14420 or email gendelta@aol.com " visit the website at http://www.netacc.net/~esato/12corners or call 716-637-5246 for ticket information. Vance Gilbert opened the series on September 9th with special guest Jess Klein... whom I have to say has matured nicely and I actually like her sound now as opposed to two years ago. Hope that helps :) oh, and as for Tory... last I knew the Tory Cassis concert and the TMBG concert were separate entities... Tory is playing at a coffeehouse in the commons on Nov 10. Somehow I don't see TMBG fitting in this coffeehouse, and it should be the same one that he accompanied Sarah Slean and ? Feist at last year. http://www.torycassis.com for more details.

Content!" :) Hey fruvish folks, I just wanted to publically thank everyone involved in the Jian chat that many of us participated in tonight. Especially the ChatHost Human who did an exceptional job of moderating everything and making the whole two-hour ordeal run so smoothly. Well...except for that one little part where we accidentally lost our moderator :) But it was really funny, Jian saying "Finally, we're free!" and mayhem breaking loose...heh :D Cheers to everyone I came across, you're all awesome. Thanks to all for keeping three hours of boring work from being done. Yay procrastination! And speaking of Jian, I caught that clip of him talking about Trudeau on the National. Jian talked about how his father really followed Trudeau's vision and respected him highly. Jian sang about a verse of a new song he wrote about Trudeau and the effect he had on him. And speaking of Trudeau, I could go into some ugly rant about the media's portrayal of this...and the country's reaction...but I probably shouldn't... For now I'll stick with my anger towards bad radio stations that have dumb ideas like making private GBS shows where the only way to get in is to win. Newfoundland music should be accessible to all. I say we all just have one big kitchen party. Enough little girl, enough...the tiredness is setting in :) And the babbling will end. Thanks again everyone!
