Stream of Consciousness

Well I'm off to Paris again tomorrow. With my mum (yes she's paying for the hotel, and for most of the petrol too (we're going by car), and no, I don't feel like I have to justify myself for that). I can't wait to see Paris again. I feel stupidly obsessed. I'm thinking maybe my Paris obsession has taken over from my MJ obsession. I'm not visiting MJ boards at all anymore. Well, only MJNI, occasionally, and only cuz I need to keep an eye on BML Me and her countless admirers. I'm obsessed with BML Me too of course. She is extremely adorable I have to say. Good thing I own her. Aah, Golden Brown by The Stranglers on my Winamp (haha, only BML Me will get the link). I downloaded Candy by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson last night. Rather catchy song. She has a very recognisable voice. You know that episode in REM's Shiny Happy People where the old guy who's pedalling the bike is given water? That's very devastatingly sad. I find many things sad I have to say. World news are always full of sad things. You know how they say "no news is good news" - it's true. 80% of what's on the News is depressing stuff. OK here's a positive thing: Bela B. has an incredibly sexy voice. And Die Ärzte are releasing a new album on the 25th. So the Arts (with a capital A) provide us with some sort of relief from grim reality. Oh, the Spiegel's latest cover story argues that the male species is about to die out. Well, in 125,000 years. *lol* The good news is that they're the mutation, and not us, and that they're the weaker gender, not us. Not that surprising. You know the joke? How does it go... Eve's sat in Paradise, on her own, and she's bored. So she tells God "I'm bored, create a mate for me!" and God replies "ok I will create a companion for you, he will be less intelligent & less attractive than you, he will worship you and cater to your every whim." Eve's all excited and agrees, so God goes "there's only one condition - you have to make him believe you were created out of his rib." Eve agrees of course. I like the joke. It gets a whole new meaning in the light of that Spiegel article. Not that I really needed stories of X and Y chromosomes to chuckle at men's stupid belief in their superiority. But fact is most men in practice still believe they're superior to us. Ah well, being a woman does have its advantages too. Wouldn't wanna swap. We're prettier to start with. Like Angelina. My mum was wondering the other day why I'm into androgynous men. Her question had kind of a panicky undertone. I think this was in the context of the sexiness of Brian Molko. I dunno, probably cuz I'm totally into women but refuse to acknowledge it. And into fictional characters. And into horses. And into cities of course. Like Paris. Which is where I'm going tomorrow. And that brings us full circle, back to where I started out. So will bugger off now. Tarah!
