Hi Fayyaz,

Thanks for accepting my F.R! Life's great 'out there' thanks. You speak as if you were in-prisoned somewhere or something! Is everything ok? ; )

How is life with you??

I really enjoyed listening to the tracks you put on, especially that Latin track - De Verdad from the Cafe Salsa album, Lervly!! Oh Yes!

Best wishes to you and yours,

L.

Yo, Fayyaz.

(That's all I've got.)

(Unless vids count, in which case, I've got two for you!)

Two new songs by Flight of the Conchords:

"Choir of Ex-Girlfriends": Columbus, Ohio- 16th May, 2008.


And, so freaky it has to be hidden from sight, "I
Told You I Was Freaky"


OK, but you're really twisting my arm here, vid number three. Bret's feeling body conscience so Jemaine has written him a confidence boosting song : "Bret, You've Got it Going on" :


By the way, HOT wallpaper action you've got going on here, bro.

Fanks, Fayyaz! Am feeling pretty terrific. Got back not long ago from a two week escape on a remote island in Thailand. Not much to do 'cept sip coconuts, watch waves crash, and swim around a bit.

Hmmm... I'm a bit jealous of myself now.

Hope you're having a great summer!
