Sinister: H to the U to the N to the N to th Y
by Mark Casarotto 14 Dec '00

Spurred to write! Fiona, if your society is like my society was at university, don't you use the £300 left over to buy records with? That's what we did, and although the records remained the property of the society, it was not impossible to do the teensiest bit of embezzling without anyone noticing... Also, I have to ask, but WHY on earth do you want to know what you're getting for Xmas? What's the point in having a day to exchange pressies if you already know what the pressies are (it's obviously different if you've asked for stuff)? So, instead of getting lots of great things after weeks of gleeful anticipation, you just get the great things, and have to fake joy and surprise. Sounds like a raw deal to me. I'm not having a go, I just don't get the logic. Unless the fun in trying to peek is greater than the anticipation. Am I answering my own question? Carsmile Steve forgot to mention that although the Notting Hill Arts Club is free, the beer decidedly isn't. Be sure to smuggle in easy-open 2-litre bottles of your favourite beer, or a hip flask, whichever better suits your lifestyle choice. See you later then, Mark (popping out again, see you soon...) ********************************************************************** HIT Entertainment PLC Maple House 149 Tottenham Court Road London, W1T 7NF Tel: +44 (20)7 554 2500 Fax: +44 (20)7 388 9321 The contents of this e-mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.

Sinister: cappuccino and poinsettias
by marikka 14 Dec '00

14 Dec '00

well, there are still threats of a rolling blackout, but wouldn't that be sort of fun? think about it, in the middle of the day, the power goes out and you don't have to think about that horrendous report for another 90 minutes, of course you would have to have saved it recently not to worry about it. you could go outside and walk around and witness the very belated california leaf change. i keep waiting for the power to go so that i can pretend to be a student again and play in leaves, as there is no snow here. but i am really adoring the christmas gift exchange. i am having fabulous fun making stuff, but in light of my location and the fact that i am indeed making these items, they might be a slight bit delayed, and so, i apologize in advance to my two recipients. but the wait shall be worth it all. anyway, i have no real belle and sebastian content. how am i supposed to learn anything interesting living in the san joaquin valley. i had better luck in connecticut. but i would like to proclaim how much i hate nbc, the american television network, tonight as "ed" was preempted by some stupid election coverage. they seem to believe that none of us predicted that they would settle on just giving it to gw. is anyone else disturbed by the fact that gw's cabinet is going to essentially be his dad's old team? i thought we said no to the texan oil millionaires years ago. and if anyone from "vanity fair" is on the list, i would like to thank you for the december issue, so much jude law that i might be content with just the magazine and stop envying sadie frost. it's a pity no one remembers him in "gattaca." but now i must return to making gifts and trying to figure out how i can get a rolling blackout in my city so that i can enjoy tomorrow. take care. marikka. ===== One woman's 'Titanic' is another woman's 'Love Boat.' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

sitting across the computer lab table from me there is a very pretty girl, and sometimes we glance at each other. just now when i did she looked back and so i tilted my head like "hello" but she looked away like "oop, i'm not looking at you!" anyway i just thought you should know. - adam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hysteria and will someone please turn the heat on
by Phillip Runion 14 Dec '00

14 Dec '00

dear sinister, i feel that a severe case of cold feet is setting in. my plane leaves for edinburgh in less than a week and i am meant to stay at my friend Susan's flat (split between edinburgh & leeds) for three weeks. she's one of my best friends and so we will get along, that is unless i get all drunk and sinister, and i guess stupid and delusional also, and tell her that i love her, again, whereby, i fear, that she will swiftly direct me to the door, ask me, well, rather tell me, that i am a dumb fuck and why don't i go find a warm sheep to curl up with, punctuating her distaste by directing her right trainer into my left cheek, and exclaiming into the cold night that "you americans are so full of bloody shit!" upon slamming the door with enough force to wake the mighty zeus' quiet slumber in the heavens above. and then i'll have to watch out for lightning bolts also. i do though, i think about her all the time. the last time it didn't go over so well. and i am oh so so bad about girl & boy stuff: a relationship derilect, or something. In addition to this, i cannot find any good shows that would be worth attending by way of the internet. Is there a good sight to go to? Is my best bet to just wait and look at an entertainment guide when i get there? please help. things that deserve a hearty WOW!!: -Godspeed Live -Jets to Brazil -The Quantity Theory of Insanity -and there's something about tomatoes A small fraction wondered where the talk of the ODB had wondered off to. The latest on ODB is that he escaped from a federal drug rehab clinic in California and made his way all the way to NYC to rendevous with the Wu for their first concert in years. Apparently he spit one verse, told everyone he loved them, then said he had to go before the feds showed up. He was apprehended days later at a McDonalds drive-thru in Philadelphia. It all makes too much sense. I would go into my MickyD's crack-conspiracy theory, but i won't. In a lack of good judgement, i worked there for a while. You see so many sad cases. A bit of content: I saw an Amphetemeanies album at OM that was rediculously priced. I re-established my relationship with my best friend over the weekend. we hadn't been getting on so well lately, so it was a great thing. It's nice to know that there is at least one person that you can tell anything. yours, phil runion "Catching birds may not be his visage of jesus in the misshapen summer squash. . . but the first thing to pop into his misshapen summer head. . ."i can't get lost i don't know where i am. . ." -Dose _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: Do Something Witty While You Can.......
by Jason McKinnon 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Dear Sinners, I have seen lonely streets walking along whilst I stand still. Sick. Of this. Of that. Trying to be it. Rock stars are born and can't be made into anything else. But what do budding rock stars do when faced with money deficiencies in their early careers? Hmmm.....Here's a bit of content for once: One of the main reasons I like Belle and Sebastian is because I am a musician of a similar stripe. And they (being who they are and where they are from) aren't doing so bad. They give me hope that I too can once fulfill my destiny to be a social deviant on a grand scale. (This isn't megalomania....it is just that I have no other decernible talents) Thinking, drinking, writing, playing and singing....more thinking. These are things I have mastery over. Things I don't have any idea how to accomplish: 1)Any kind of work (in the conventional sense) 2)social interaction that doesnt end with someone wanting to freak out or worship me. 3)Coming off as anything but way too fabulous/avant-garde to be trusted with any kind of work that pays worth a shite. You may say "O Pickle Prince.....why must you care so much about material things when you espouse such existential, crowleyan, and pseudo-zen buddhist/discordian thinking?" Answer: I live in San Francisco. The rents here are higher than in Manhattan. Right now....SF is one of the most expensive places to live in the US. But hey...i do love it here. But is this worth it? I don't know. Yeah...I know. I'm a whiny bitch. But....damn it! I want to do something pretty while I can.

Sinister: My write of passage (sorry)
by Jon Botterman 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

Ooer...? I'm not too good at introductions but I'll have a go. I've just been lurking on the list not contributing (uncontributing?). I decided to post but then the college told me my E-mail space has too many old messages. It's my own fault I suppose. I just can't bring myself to delete e-mails. They sound so helpless. I've waited to post but have been thwarted. I'm not too good at thinking up subject headers (just take a look) and I have a boring e-mail address ( it's just my name and my college). I feel I should be called FluFFurB23 or something in a similar vein. The college won't have it. But I got over all these blocks and decided to post. Now, I fear, I will have to subscribe to the digest. Will I go back in the nursery? I don't want to, it was too quiet, and all the best toys were broken or the wrong colour. Anywho, my introduction. I'm Jon aged 20. I'm currently serving my second year at art college, which is my own mini hell. I don't actually have a specific thing to say, just a general helloo. Erm, I saw the gentle waves at the spitz last week. All very nice, although I now have to envy Stevie Jackson's harmonica playing as well as his guitar playing and singing. Still, I bet he was hot in his suit. I've seen Grandaddy and Sigur Ros mentioned which lightened my heart. I had to stop myself from going "oh oh, I like them!" in the computer room. I think my fellow students think I'm a mentalist as it is. I could tell a little story of how I almost fell over yesterday, but it's less a story and more of a sentence. Anyway, it involved me, my flares, my inability to run in a logical way and an angry motorist. I walked away with a slight blush, but no harm was acheived. Well, I've broken my listfast and it's getting dark. I have to walk home to Mottingham and it's been raining. My work is done. Maybe I'll post again, unless this one is badly recieved. Please be kind though, it was my first time though I hope you didn't notice. Jon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
