Sinister: Back from Crimbo Break
by Jeni_Morton＠rhinorecords.com 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Umm, hello all.....I'm back on the list, back to work...back to my boring little life In Los Angeles...(sorry if I posted to the list when i re-subscribed!) So here are some ink Polaroid's from the last 3 weeks..... (Ha ha, clever photographer I am!) This first one is of me standing anxiously awaiting my boyfriends arrival at the LAX customs area.....I've got this very stressed look on my face, both hands in my mouth as I try not to bite my well manicured nails.....I see him coming around the corner with the loads of other passengers coming from Heathrow.... The next is of my face glowing, pressed into my boy's chest as we hug tightly...were both glowing, despite his exhaustion and jetlag...... These next few are of us playing in Vegas, jumping on our hotel room bed, blowing our money, buying shoes, and not really caring because were together and playing the nickel slots! Then there are the ones of us at Disneyland...standing near The Pirates of The Caribbean...you know where the pond is with all the ducks? Were standing there hugging, and I'm looking away at the ducks...pondering my life.....He's smiling like a Cheshire cat, and looks like he's going to explode with excitement as he has never been to Disneyland. Then there are the last ones of us at the beach, sitting on the Life Guard Station hours before he's to fly back to England....my eyes are puffy and my nose is red from hours of crying....his face is pale and eyes are red....I don't like looking at these...they make me sad......so I keep them under my pillow. The rest of my holiday was spent in my flat.....experimenting with my new Land Camera, watching cartoons and cooking shows, figuring out how Beth's new Star Wars battle game that I got her for Crimbo works, and plotting my escape.... I missed you all.... xo Photo Jeni xo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: everybodys talking at me
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Welcome back weejay, it is said. my my, so many drunken escapades this new year. this maybe a rude question, but why on earth do people drink until they throw up? please, i dont' understand! i like the nice relaxing feeling, but i've never had the urge to just keep swallowing, after a while it begins to taste a little dull and i dont 'want anymore. i just wondered....but then i'm teh girl who just loves pink champagne, those other things are just too bitter. i like fizzy drinks, except for cola, blech!! good on'ya Brier!! you bagged alanis, what a modern rock catch!! you can tell the grandkids about that day. hehe sounding a bit like my photojenny charade there wit tha camera. i'm mad with the shutter myself. today i took pictures of my cat. And yes--Cana was the site of Jesus's first miracle. i'm no bible scholar, but one night i was on the phone with friend Jess and we decided to look up belle and sebastian words in my Big-Ass dictionary. we found lardy, and toff, and then i looked up wanker for a laugh--but it was in there!!! and i looked up Cana, and it was in there too. bloody hell, any dictionary that has wanker in it is getting my top honors. OOH nice toons Sarah!!! the Offspring are brilliant indeed! i just love those songs that are supposed to be funny, but really aren't, and sound likke every other song a band has ever recorded. those boys, hehe a bunch of rascals WHO SHOIULD DIE!!!!!! i'm sad i missed wicked again on the tv last night!! but i was asleep. i fell asleep before i could even see what nonsense mulder and scully can get into this week. but there was a very touching (at first) episode of the simpsons on where bart accidentally killed an innocent bird. it was nice at first but then gradually deteriorated into something a bit more crass, i was disappointed as it would hav been a good opportunity to educate our populace on the ecological dangers of introducing exotic wildlife into places they do not belong. as it was they made it a big laugh. boo, where is Captian Planet when one needs him? HOoray, i have just added Sarah martin to my groovy gals gallery, tho youcan't see it until i get all my pages working. my site is under reconstruction. the b/s pages will remain the same though. haha that page has beat the count of my main page, and it's only been up a couple of months. the joys of being prestigiously linked are manifold. So this mysterious papercuts zine is finally arrived, was it trousers who told me about it?? hmph, well i want some of the action too! happy happy day for the parishioners of Our Lady of Tiger Ears, i should be working on the chickfactor transcript shortly. if my damn word processor doesn't keep f-ing crashing. sorry. Where do belleandseb namedrop Sid James?? am i just slow or did i miss something? maybe i didnt' pay enough attention. i've just done a shameful thing, no words will be spoken of it. "told a lie went to jail, nobody'd miss me.." thank you keithm for the moose tape, i'll get back to you in time to shower you with gratitude! annoying as fuck, LJO http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange (under major construction) "I've just been shining this apple, and it looks so delicious, but i've changed my mind. . .do you want to share it?" --stuart murdoch +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: winter polaroid
by yellow submarine 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

i don't know how the weather is where you lot live but i've been burried in snow for the last two days. i thought i'd share the delightment (is that a word?) of winter to those snow deprived listees out there by showing you an ink polariod of my new years eve. i arrive at the house party, the sky is frosty black and twinkling. i crack open a cider and reach for my first ciggy for the eve. but no, my hand is swatted away, for there is no smoking in this little house. my jaw hangs down...but we're drinking, how can we not smoke? go outside i'm told, and am shown to the door. i didn't think my mitts would be needed so they sat warmly in my closet at home. stuggling to hold my cider and retreave my lighter i carefully climb through the thigh high snow bankes to the side of the house, since the wind is a little less nippy over there. so i stand....engulfed in snow, hair whipping round my face, and attempt to flick the bloody lighter with my already purple thumb. finally a flamb, and my first toasty inhalation. within two minutes though all feeling has left my hands. my cigarette will either break under pressure from my frozen hands, or drop to the ground from lack of grip. i switch hands. even worse. the cigarette is whipped away in the wind and i stand there pathetically in a snow bank, behind a house. that was it for my smoking. i'm quitting til april. possibly. cheers to anyone who actually read that, and sympathies to anyone who can relate. anyother exciting news to i can think of? i stabbed myself and bled absolutely everywhere including my freshly washed white carpet. the carbon monoxide detector keeps going off in my house but my mum thinks the basement looks too messy to have anyone over, so she said she'll wait for one of the cats to die so she knows its serious and then she'll call someone. right. so if i'm alive...till next time cheers xo please don't spoil my day i'm miles away and after all i'm only sleeping - j. lennon ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a simple pondering...oh no!
by Rehak, Kimberly 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

hi, hello, etc. i just came back from a jaunt in the bitter chilly world outside. i work in this big mining experimental plant just outside of pittsburgh--pittsburgh/steel/coal mining--get the connection? well, i see this beautiful flock of turkeys and then this family of deer. i felt like snow white!...all i was in need of was a chipmunk scurrying across the road and a yellow bird to perch on me shoulder. now, my simple pondering is: how could anyone ever kill these things? and ENJOY it? mind you, i still eat a bit of turkey now and then, but as a SPORT? i just can't fathom this. but then again, i'm the one who gets mum or dad to kill the spiders in the bathroom. so that is what my days consist of: pondering simple things such as this, standing in front of my lover--the copy machine, filing things for other people (does anyone realize how DIFFICULT this is?), attempting to stay awake, etc. it's a rope around that neck, nah, it's not really that bad. my, i'm almost done though...wa-HOO! does anyone here happen to be a sloan fan? or is this taboo? *kiss! for marie~~hello honey!* byebye oh, and kiss! for all of you too KIMberly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Don't forget Judy Blume on the list of celebrity names. W/R/T Mel and Sebastian: I live in Isabel Hall, and I've a professor named Dr. Sebastian. When leaving his class and heading home for the day, I'm always tempted to say I'm headed to 'Bel from Sebastian's. OK, that's not at all funny now that I've written it down.

Sinister: Dogs Droppings

Hi people :o) In a message dated 04/01/99 06:55:51 GMT, Brier: << And OH, content on celebrity spottings: I was promenadeing on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica last night, and Alanis Morrisette was shopping at Urban Outfitters at the same time I was. >> I was shopping in Brighton on Saturday, and saw the roadie from B & S ! not sure of his name, but its the young guy who fiddles with everything.. he had bought some stuff from Borders. The Big Meet Up in Brighton happened just after xmas. A lovely time was had by all, and many beverages consumed by the international crew that turned up ! we had people from the USA, Finland, Scotland and England turn up, and even a guest appearance from Madame Cholet, although she seemed very shy.. awwwwww :o) The theme of the evening, i think, was to give as much crap to Catatonia and Robbie Williams, which i think we succeeded in. well, take it easy kids Jamie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: You've been away too long, it's lonely when you're gone .
by Neil Dewhurst 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Well, well, well. I forgot to unsubscribe while I was away, but it didn't matter because I've just deleted 23 digests, collected over the past few weeks, with a couple of swift mouse clicks. My summary glance at the content of one or two revealed that nothing much had happened except that Mr Mitchell has absconded. I'll be watching crimewatch closely next time it's on in case the charming 'M' makes an appearance. The rest of the lists seemed to be filled with comments of a blindingly obvious nature or a fundamentally incorrect nature. To win an as yet undecided upon prize, please complete the following tie-breaker in not more than fifteen words- "Recently, the sinister mailing list has gone downhill just a teensy-weensy bit because..." By the way, if you want to be offensive, don't email back to the list. On a Bell-end Samaritan note, I would just like to add that...oh, what the heck, I'll add it tomorrow. Seasonal goodwill and all that bollocks.

Sinister: argh! argh! we wear baggy shorts and shout! argh!
by Fluffy Sarah 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

mental! I do not believe what has happened this day. One friend to hospital in an ambulance, the other driven home shaking and the collapsing..... never come to preston. its dangerous for your health if yo' aint used to the air. I'll tell all you ARTISTS, stop it now! Your work is dangerous! Especially if you are of the peculair persuasion that like to make sculptures of naked ladies out of concrete. One of those today wobbled off it's stall and fell on my friends head, causing blood to dip on the floor like it was going out of fashion, ambulances being called, paramedics running up and down stairs with wheelchairs. When I picked up that thing afterwoods it weighed a ton. Fuck. I hope my friendy is ok :( And then after I saw her off in the ambulance, I saw my other friend curled up and shaking in the corner with tears in her eyes. She went home as well, being very ill. Its me. Don't come near me. You'll probably just get injured somehow.... I'm listening to Leonard Cohen now. And Suzanne is a song that Chris Leonard put on a mix tape for me! Doh, and there I was thinking it ws Cat Stevens. 'Cos I lost the tracklisting y'see, so I know no artists on the tape what so ever. Who does the *ducks on a pond, ducks on a pond, very pretty swimming around* song please? I am fond of it. I might do a folk hippy thing next you know, and do dreadlocks and crusty stuff and drink scrumpy cha. Except for that fact that hippes indeed do me head in. I hate the new Offspring single! It keeps geting stuck in my head! And I keep singing, give it to me babY! ooooho ohohohoh! all the girls say i'm pretty fly, FOR A WHITE GUY!!! uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis...or something. This Leonard Cohen is inspiring me to get an acoustical geetar and write songs about the sky. PENMNY WHISTLE SOLO! *sigh* Tag your post made me feel very bitter and jealous. I wish I could have listened to Dave Bowie as well. Doive. <--- me trying to *write* the word "dave" in a cockney accent. Did it work? Has tag met ever Sinister person now? I haven't. Oh well. Its not like youre missing anything :) Your health is probably better, doh.....not fair.... wish my friends good luck..... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Spiced Bum
by Warrander John - FML 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Hello Lovely People, Has somebody been saying bad things about the Pastels? I can't be bothered looking at the archives. But Stephen Pastel makes me wet myself. And I'll defend him with my forehead if need be. Actually, I did pop into John Smith's while enjoying some festive frolics in Glasgow and he wasn't working. Such a shame. I licked the records I guessed he'd handled as a consolation. Just in case you were wondering what the gooey stains on the Silver Jews' sleeves were. Don't get too excited. Anyway, somebody managed to convince me that the festive spirit for 1998 was Morgan's spiced rum. Well nobody at my aunt's thought I was being very festive when I locked myself in the toilet to die after a prolonged bout of vomiting at what was meant to be a gentle family soiree. On the plus side though, my father has a very small bladder and urinated in his pants leading to an hilarious evening of entertainment consisting mainly of pointing your finger at the bald bloke and shouting "pishy drawers". That actually passes for sophistication in Aberdeen. It's that kind of town. Aberdonians being tight-fisted bastards too, I never bother buying any pressies for anybody. The short-arse ginger fucker got me some very, very fine records though and I'm listening to them now, which just about makes getting up before sunrise bearable. Unfortunately, I think my visit to the Fopp January sale confirms the fact that a crap record for £2.99 does not actually constitute a bargain. My sister's gone and married into a family of huns since I was last in Glasgow. Quite a shock to the system that on Christmas day. Oh, and yes, I do make a fine cheesecake. I make a rather tasty Mediterranean vegetable stew with grilled hallumi too. If you're ever in Manchester and feeling a bit peckish then be sure and call round. I'll be the one in the kitchen making lots of lovely, lovely things. I was going to pretend that Celtic footballing sensation Craig Burley rubbed my feet then my back then my belly then my breasts seductively at a party I was at. But I don't know who Jessica is and she may think I was taking the piss. Which of course I'd never dream of. And anyway, then you'd all know the lithe athletic persona that I've adopted for the internet is really a big lie and I'm actually a fat bastard. Did you have a "nae pal party" this New Year? I did. Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
