Sinister: The building has been surrounded
by Rod Begbie 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

Tipped off by some rather suspect e-valentines (JJ & Keef, I reckon), I fort I'd have another keek through yonder Sinister archives. Yet another rousing discussion to be found -- this time based around my flatmate's bizarre techno-exhibitionist streak. You should all be ashamed of yourselves -- You didn't even leave an offensive message in Scott's guestbook. Ms Kemp -- You have a lot to answer for. Such cruelty from someone I never even got to meet! FWIW, You'll be lucky to catch me on it, cause I usually switch the bloody thing off when I use his PC. But for $2.50, I will sell copies of the AVI I recorded the night he brought a ladyfriend back. Oh, and tune in Friday at about 8pm EST to see our fabulous "Losers with no Valentines" party. Currently looks like about 20 blokes getting pissed and bitching about girls. What fun! Laters, Rod PS. Who's doing the T-shirts with my photie on? Cause a load of my friends want to buy them. And I want commission. PPS. What's green & invisible? This cabbage ---> PPPS. Anyone in the Boston area want a copy of Modern Rock Song, cause I got two by mistake. -- Rod Begbie Work: rbegbi(a)sapient.com Play: rod(a)begbie.com Vox: (617) 761-1753 Assorted Nonsense: http://www.begbie.com/ "He's like a Bill Gates without a Microsoft" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm sorry if ma frrrench was bad !
by Denise Power 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

If anyone can get the ref, I'll be so-o pleased. Hello and welcome, I'm back after a long spell of a disappointing and hurtful lack of mail. But pressing matters first : I'm going to Edinburgh this summer (possibly forever, who knows what could be out there for me) but my friends, they are only going for the summer. We have kind of got accomodation sorted out but jobs now, hee hee, well that's a whole new matter. I don't expect people to go rushing out to recruitment offices, praising me to death - it's just that I feel like I'm sitting on my arse doing nothing while the rest of them are rushing around trying to get it sorted. In a way I have an excuse (my finals ) but it's kind of like using it to get out of doing the washing up, and like my parents I think they are getting a wee bit cross. Low down : 4 irish girls (all twenty - I think) good workers great lovers Do you know of any jobs , regardless of how crappy that we can apply to ? Please ???? When I get the replies, cause I know I will , you're all so-o nice like on Seventh Heaven , that programme that you start watching for ironic reasons and then become addicted to; I wish I was friends with Matt Camden, he's so dreamy...well replies, nice or nasty, will be informed of the subject ref ! Although you all probably already know anyway. Pooey toodle ooooooooooh waiting for you to do all the work so I can get credit and money dee +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: snow
by Robin Stout 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

Only seven posts yesterday, like the last bubbles in a bottle of lemonade. Maybe everyone was out throwing snowballs. As soon as it gets deep enough I'm going to steal a tray from the cafeteria and go sledging. When I was twelve I went sledging down a big hill with some friends. My Dad was watching us and kept saying how much better sledging was when he was a boy, and if we let him have a go he'd show us how it was done. Eventually I gave him my sledge, which he sat on. He looked like an elephant standing on a little drum at the circus. "This is how you do it" he said, as he lay down face first and pushed off. Now my dad is slightly heavier than the average twelve year old boy, so he flew down the hill on this tiny sledge faster than anyone had before, with ice flying in his mouth, up his nose, and into the curls of his curly hair. Silence descended and jaws dropped as everyone turned to watch this slightly misguided grown man plummet to his doom. Snowballs stopped in mid flight. He bounced a few times, flew off the rather inadequate sledge, and skidded into a snowman. The snowman's head fell off and landed on his head and his pipe landed in my dad's mouth (no, sorry, I made that bit up). Anyway, it was dead funny, although my dad didn't quite see it that way - "ooh! Me back!" he cried and went to bed for a week. Well, there you go - the perils of sledging. Play safe kids. I hope it's snowing where you are.

Sinister: white is the colour
by Arantxa Sanz 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

Dear listees : I am just starting with the weather forecast for today: snow in Nottingham and outskirts!First snow in 99!From my (huge and void)lab windows I can see all the overseas students from tropical countries going really barmy with their maybe first snowbalss ever, cute, isn't it? Snow is one of my great loves in life. Fluffy , this is a sign of your arrival from the frozen Northern lands, sure. I just met my first Chris last Saturday, but he didn't look very sinisterine, so it will be a surprise to meet yours in our piquenique... Not any B&S news/contents at all, till the Brits big night ( with Melinda or with Gail?)the list seems to be hibernating.Has anyone read Jarvis ( or as I pronounce it with my Latin accent, Jarbis) interview for the Guardian? Why this guy was so keen on sucess if sucess is such a drag? If I ever was talented for any artistic activity, my attitude would agree exactly with Stu and co., if fact, it is one of my main reasons to like them apart from Mike's trumpet.I cannot deny the allure of being recognised but CELEBRITY and TINSEL,with headings and all, really frighten me Not as shy as Mr Sensitive of the year in spite of the parragraph above, not as outgoing as I look at first sight, somewhere inbetween but always yours...

Sinister: the only laugh that man will ever get in his entire life is by stripping off...
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

...and showing his shortcomings. Saturday night started so promising, what with me showing up at my best friend's apartment to find him and his g'friend huddled around the window with all the lights off watching the naked man jerk off in an apartment across the courtyard. Mother warned me about furtive men lurking in the bushes. She didn't say anything about fancy apartments near the White House. We watched intently as he tried to spy on another neighbor with a pair of binoculars in *one* hand and....seeing other people, indeed. To tease the poor beast (and because we wanted him in the window closer to our apartment), we flashed the lights a bit and the g'friend and I pretended to kiss. Our onanist Frankenstein responded rapidly, with a show to make a Bankok fan dancer proud. Granted, if it was my apartment, I'd hate this guy. Maybe me and the g'friend lit the wick on this guy's delusion that women like his spy show, thereby opening some very creepy doors. But the spastic manuevering of my mind, like some horrible Camille Paglia/Mary Lou Retton hybrid, convinces me that this guy makes a fool of himself and we're better of mocking and pointing than cowering. Do the Julie Ruins out there care? So, apologies to the lovely list people I sorta met at the D.C. Sloan show. I was tired and empty-headed by the end of the show, and even a sugar-filled, heart-shaped lolly couldn't revive my conversation skills. I'm quite jovial, really, folks. I am not a cancer. My friend Mr. Lonely Highway as always chatted like a demon. He's desperate for subscribers to his Shabba Ranks fanzine, so he'll talk to just about anyone. Who's going to the D.C. Sleater-Kinney show? I got my tix today, woo-hoo!

Sinister: i'm stuart murdoch's third cousin,i think he owes me some money
by Genevieve Wesley 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

hi list, report cards are giving out tomorrow,and i'm not looking forward to that,and of course,the internet is always the number one suspect in my slippage of grades. Tami,how come you did so well? why didn't i?i deserve good marks.i think it's more of a memory thing than stupidity,i have no memory,and when i take juice out of the fridge,i put it back in the cupboard,thinking it's the fridge,things like that. i'm sick of not having money,i think i'm going to sell out. watch out,britney spears.. speaking of her...why did people get so upset over that prodigy 'smack my bitch up' thing,i think her 'HIT me baby one more time' would be more offensive..someone told me she's actually singing about sex,but still,it's the principal of the matter you know. i have a hello kitty wallet,but i wasn't trying to be cool,i've had it since 3rd grade...my friend has a wallet made entirely out of duct tape! how amazing is that! no glue or stiches,all duct tape! i saw both and hurlyburly and she's all that...i at least thought hurlyburly would be better,kevin spacey was fantastic,but sean penn just needed a frickin slap.it's a little numbing to hear that 'and the 1999 prom king is' i mean...that's my class! we're going to be 99! it feels weird,like it seems i've always watched from a distance..or watching an 80's movie,but now it's happening...you know,everyone talks about how tacky and trashy the 80's were..the 90's look just as stupid. My god...i mean i know a few kids who have cell phones,mostly just to be wannabe drug dealers..but sweet jesus! these movies!or is this just a california/l.a. thing?and who actually WEARS clothes like them? and i find the speech and constant 'what-ev' insulting.This is how my generation is going to be remembered by? Do YOU or YOUR friends say 'what-ev'? if i ever did,it was only in an ironic fashion! they looked like losers in that funk-soul brother dance sequence. i'm quite excited about this phone-up line over belle and sebastian! i've only ever called england twice,actually an english operator called me once and i thought it was a prank phone call,he got a little upset.hey is there any belle and sebastian phone numbers you can call up and hear stuart murdoch say sexy words,like lillihammer? you know,like the corey hart hotline! i shall call right now! '141'?? my! what little secrets the sinister souls hold! you mean,at any time,i can dial 141 and noone will know it's me? >A belle and sebastian porn video!?! Is this really true, or some twisted >tidbit schemed up by someone trying to tease listees into buying something >unmentionable? yes sam jacob,it's true. but it's not really a 'belle and sebastian' collaboration,sarah and isobel aren't involved. I swear it. I wouldn't lie. It's not really a 'porn' either. It's an adult art film,it's Art. help,i need some names for characters in my film noir project,so far,i've come up with. private investigator: Decective Murdoch bad guy,who's cheating on his wife with femme fatale: Tony Pacino or Bugsy wife: Linda Pacino femme fatale: Kitty or Honey or Tatiana "Strapless bras are the abomination of society.Who could create such evil? I feel like I'm going to fall out of my dress,but at least I still look hot!" ------------------ Stuart Murdoch ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "...i could wait impatiently...but i'd rather not wait at all..."
by Snowinsumr＠aol.com 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

dear "sinister mailing list" diary... valentine's day is one week from today...:::sigh:::... what to do...what to say...what to feel... a handmade card with colourful interior? silken roses? (as real ones would die and that would hardly be the message i was trying to get across) one of those beany baggy creatures that resembles a hacky sack? a thousand questions triplicated and filed under 'simple things you ask to make a young boy sigh'? a sexy pulp-mix tape with an underlying promise? i am so terribly shy...maybe a postcard with lipstick traces...although i don't wear make-up...so i suppose that wouldn't work... valentine's is such a silly day...the only day i can think of that sounds any sillier is st. swithen's day...does anyone know what st. swithen's day is, diary? i certainly don't...i heard it in a billy bragg song...billy bragg will keep me company next sunday...then i will not feel sad or lonely on the supposedly most romantic day of the year...although, that seems rather silly...if i were in a relationship i would make every day the most romantic day of the year...so it would be a romantic year instead... my adorable friend timothy brought me one of those little terry cloth hacky sack animals...it was filled with beans and it was a lion named zulu...we took him with us when we went to see the film 'central station' last night...zulu took turns sitting on me and timothy's shoulders as he is very short and couldn't see from his seat...he cried because it was so beautiful...zulu, not timothy...he was very sad and i held him tight and we smoked a few cigarettes and felt a little better... i have been listening to edith frost today...i do so love her voice...she is a little princess... i made a mix tape for my english professor this evening...i included some belle and sebastian...i hope that he likes it... love, m. elise +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i love sundays
by Graham MacArthur 07 Feb '99

07 Feb '99

Dearest list life has funny ways of suprising you, after grudgingly agreeing to going to see the big man Robbie Williams with my friends, dreading the weeks before the date comes, i find out the The Divine Comedy are supporting him! could I have dreamed of a better resolution?! yay for me, anyway. i thought i might throw something at mr williams, does anyone have an original ideas? fluffy sarah, how did the purple black dying process go? I'm considering doing my hair white-blonde from my current gold blonde, but it think i could look like a complete freak. maybe that's a good thing, but i've always thought the better freaks are the classy ones, not clown-like "look at me" style. What am I talking about, do i really want to draw attention to myself? i just want to be deborah harry, that is before she started acting like someone's embarassing mum, and singing songs that go "oooh, don't you wanna take 'er" wearing t-shirts and tights and horrible shoes. on a lighter note, i talked to my crush this last friday evening for the first time, and he's borrowing my copy of The Boy With The Arab Strap, which is lovely, but i ask myself, will a sixteen year old boy who has displayed sighs of lad-mentality be able to appreciate them? it would be a wonder if he did! But after talking to someone you have idolised, they somehow loose their wow-factor, i broke the rule - you should never talk to them! it breaks the spell somehow, unless actually live up to what you have made them, which, naturally he didn't. So i could have a new friend maybe, and if i could introduce him to the wonderful world of belle and sebastian, that's enough for me. everyday i scamper down to my doorstep in my nightie, with all the anticipation of a child on christmas day, and find it bare, safe for bank letters and junkmail, which isn't even addressed to me, when will they come! when! but the sun is shining this sunday morning, and heres a cup of tea to all the sleepy-eyed peeps who are lolling around like me i love sundays love, Erica x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
