Alright, then...I am off on my way to England tomorrow! I am very excited, and a little nervous--kinda weird, eh? But I know me and my sis are gonna have a great time, even if I have decided that we will have to skip seeing the MSP at Irvine. It's just too hard to get up there without totally killing our schedule. And I mean *killing* it. So, I will go back to hoping they might come over here, maybe next year? I really hope so. Anyway, I'll say TTFN, and hope to bring cool stories to put on my website!

The Manics Homepage-the official website for the greatest living band. RIP for the old message forum, but at least this one works!
The Kitchen Sink-a great Manics site, run by a lovely Canadian lass. Very nice pics and great timewaster section, too.
Entertainment Weekly-my favorite magazine..site best viewed with Netscape, tho *shudder*.
The Internet Movie Database-the best film website out there. Every film, every actor, every tv show, everything. Period.
The Drudge Report-muckraker or just a comprehensive site with a great selection of news links? You decide.
New Musical Express-a great music mag site, based in the UK.
silverchair stuff-a fabulous site by my pal, Dreamer. Check it out, it's hilarious and informative. And her personal pages are ace.
Vegan.com-I am a vegan, come here to learn about why people are this way! It's not crazy...
Boston.com-come here and learn all about that dirty water...cuz Boston is my home.
Anorexicweb-this is a must-see site for anyone with eating problems or who know people who have them, or who hate why so many women get them.
Audiogalaxy.com-banned from Napster? Hate Napster? Here is a great Napster alternative.
Fiona Apple-her nearly official site, not much going on right now, but the best source for all things Fiona.
Placebo-a good example of what a band's official website should be like. Active message forum, communications from the band, picutres, videos, and up-to-date news.
Newbury Comics-the website for the best place to buy CDs.
Forget Hollywood: Check These Guys Out-this is a great site dedicated to the "real" actors...the lovely Brits, the unsung Americans, the fiery Autralians. A marvelous selection by this webmaster.
Staybeautiful.net-one of the major Manics sites on the web.
Jump the Shark-an always-entertaining site devoted to pinpointing the moment when television shows roll downhill...of course, some never have, and some did from the get-go. But come here, and you may also find people who remember that obscure show from your childhood, too!
