Sinister: a ledge
by Youn J. Noh 22 Sep '00

22 Sep '00

Sometimes, do you feel that you're drifting too close to the edge? But then it's delicious. Before Ailsa left with her bride's trousseau, she held up a mirror and pointed out the correspondence between the first verses of "Slow Graffiti" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray". But the objective correlative failed. To me, it's a story of a chalice held high above a clamoring throng. The anguish is not of failed vanity. To the contrary, that much is said. But it's not the same when it's said. The beauty still lingers there. A noble mind among things lost and decayed. Here the words are like pebbles thrown one by one, spreading their rings, only merging at the edges: "I mounted the staircase and gained the upper part of the house. The high cold empy gloomy rooms liberated me and I went from room to room singing." Nancy Packer read that passage and pointed out how the sense of the adjectives complement each other but don't overlap. Don't scoff at a lover's ardor. Or do you think he really meant for us to?

Sinister: yad yppah a tahw

Well don't just feel like a dirty vouyer, and i like it. i have been on the list for a few months now just reading everybodys thoughts. Life has been such a toaster lately (up and down) but there is always so many good stories on sinister. Always something to make me smile. But i am happy to report that today is a happy day. First, i slept in and was late to uni, which always makes me feel good. Them when i got here, usually i sit around reading boreing journals all day, but i have managed to find a multitude of fun and interesting things to do today. And, the photocopier was in such a good mood. It made me feel good. Perhaps a little bit too good? Also when i got out of bed today, it looked like it would rain and now, it is such a beautiful day outside. What more could a child like me ask for. Happy prospect for the near future. Quiting my job. Going bush-walking for a while, about 10 days in the wilds of Tasmania. Where is Tasmania, asks everybody who does not live in Australia (and possibly a few who do) It is this little island hanging of the bottom of Australia. And it has some of the most beautiful and untouched wilderness areas in the world. I have been a few time before. It is such a relaxing place to sit a watch everything and nothing. Olympics; lets not talk about it. Today i found two dollars, it made me feel so happy. And i got a free coffee, it made me feel so jittery. Thats about it for my dyslexic and disconnected brain. Micka -there's nothing as practical as a good theory. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Sinister: Post from the tired summers mind

Hi all. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with school. I got to see High Fidelity yesterday. Pretty great. I knew that they played Seymore Stein but I didn't know he actually says "It's the new Belle and Sebastian." Twice none the less! I wish they used a better song though, SS doesn't really represent them well. Jenowl: FF7 ehh? I bought it when it first came out. Honestly, one of the best games ever made. Keep us posted about Aeris though.... Anyway, I'm going to head outside with my telescope now.

Sinister: mmm...how queer
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 21 Sep '00

21 Sep '00

Hewwo, Wow, I feel like poo in a brown paper bag. Because some hard kid though it would be really grate fun to punch me in the head really hard. I mean like really hard. So, after much drama, and nearly passing out, I went home to bed. Next day I decide to be brave/stupid and go to school, feeling all sore and tender and headachey. Where I get battered round the head with someone's folder. Which made me cry, in front of all the hard kids, which they all found really funny. So today wasn't a grate day on the health scale. Oh and did I mention that I can't focus with my eyes properly. It's the school company's night out. As mousy scared looking, absolutely useless secretary, I have to be there. Groan. I don't like bowling. I'm now addicted to Final Fantasy 7, which I bought for my birthday. And I'm now head over heels in love with Aeris. Mmm, and Cloud Strife's pretty nice too....OK, shoot me now please. I think I'll toddle off now. Sorry about the lack of content. I'll post something interesting when all the pain goes away. I just needed to complain. I'm really selfish at heart :) Hugs, Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: SmAsH-iNg TiMe!!
by velocity farewell 21 Sep '00

21 Sep '00

Hello beautiful ones... Well... it's Sunday... I remember my first post to the list under a different name... 'twas called: EvErYdAy'S LiKe SuNdAy Why do I hate Sundays so much? I do hate them ever since I was a child... but that's not what I want to talk to you about... I had a terrible aCciDeNt last night... I fell with my scooter... 'twas horrible! See, I was out with the guys last night; first we went to this place where they serve this grate HoMe-mAde WiNe and then we went to that place called CohiBa where our friend Nick was DJing... mmmmm... we were dancing and did all crazy stuff... Nick played a lot of lounge and easy listening and some bossa nova as well... there was that girl there with the most amazing hair ever... she looked like... mmm.... Kim - bluddy - Karnes Eventually we left and I was riding my scooter alone in the streets of the city.... I had my walkman on and was listening to one of the most lovely, desperate songs ever "HoMeBoY" by Adorable... suddenly I saw a cab in front of me... I pressed the breaks... back break doesn't work - I wanted to have it fixed for so long but it costs so much - I pushed the front break... and I started slipping... slipping.... and fell... my scooter crashed on the back side of the cab where as I was on the street... it was a grate fall mind you! very stylistic... not to mention that I was wearing my white fairy jacket... fortunately I had my helmet on, so no head injuries... I hurt my knee quite badly tho'... and now I have a swollen blueish knee to the size of a tennis ball... I hurt my hands as well... I stood up and saw in a blur the cabbie with his two passengers getting out of the cab... they lifted up my poor sputnik (my scooter) and tried to persuade me to go to the hospital, but I refused to go... I mean, I don't know, can't really tell, but it must have been quite a scary fall as these 3 people looked so pale and frightened... after I re-assured then I was fine and I was in a position to get back on my scooter and ride back home, they asked me where I was from and what I was doing here... so, I told them that I worked in the uni... the highlight of that amazing evening... the one of the guys in the cab made a pass on me... YeS! Now can you believe that? I was all shaken, trembling cause of the shock, my knee was killing me, and he was just standing there asking me if there was a café in the uni and if it was any good... I said "yeah, there's one and it's really good... for the students.." and left... bastard! I got back on my scooter, put my walkman on and started half-singing half-crying as I was riding back home... what? "LoVe is BettEr tHaN WaR" by the TELeViSiOn PeRsOnALiTiEs As soon as I got back home I put on the CD by FeLt "poem of the river"+"forever breathes the lonely word" that Richard made for me... I guess he justifies his role as the SiNiStEr SanTa ClAuSs so well.... BeLLe & SeBaStiAn contexxxxxxx well, Mike and StuartM. were in jeepster chat last night... yes!! I got there late myself, so I didn't get to hear anything interesting... except from the fact that Stuart was watching Telly at the moment... that's it... the weather's great here but I wish it was raining... oh, that was so boring... sorry about that.. I have to go now and watch "Dawson's Creek"... somethings are so dumb they're charming... Spooka-Dee-Loops my dog gave me a lick on my hip bone last night when I came back after the accident as I was putting my jeans down to check the bruises... that was quite comforting... Oh!!! another thing... Lovely Hannah, not our own Hannahdoll, has started a Baxendale list... mmm, I don't know about the rest of you but I do love Baxendale... the addy for those who wanna join is: http://www.onelist.com/community/superpopelectronix Yeah! bye bye sweat peas take care love that flies over the oceans +easterchocobunnies+melodyPoPs!

Sinister: V-Twin New Single Excitement Brings Country To Standstill
by Peter Miller 21 Sep '00

21 Sep '00

Any V-Twin fans in the house? If so, you might be interested in the following, taken from the NME website..... V-Twin Delinquency(Domino) In real life Domino's answer to the Jesus And Mary Chain, everything seems to have gone a bit weird around at V-Twin's house. The cover of this record features a man in shades playing the bongos. Inside, V-Twin have given over one of their traditionally scuzzy bursts of lo-fi rock'n'roll to a host of 'name' remixers. Jagz Kooner (of Primal Scream/Regular Fries fame) turns it into a pulsating Suicide freak-out, while Gareth Jones (of, er, Depeche Mode fame) doesn't really do much. On the other side, though, you get Adam & Eve (aka Neil and Jennifer from Royal Trux) 'remixing' the song to such a radical and brilliant extent that you suspect they've just re-recorded the song with them on it. Good idea. There, that was good, wasn't it?

Sinister: wish i had spaghetti sauce with me...
by angel blackwell 21 Sep '00

21 Sep '00

well, this little angel has been working his ass of this week... i rewarded myself with some online shopping... ordered tompaulin cd, stars...then some scottish (i think) silly pop, it's a personal favourite and i'm a little embarrassed to admit to buying it...one of the first times i did drag was to one of these songs... well in the spirit of previous posts and public nudity, i was a little naughty myself. i work in a little warehouse in the gas company in toronto. i've been working really long hours and then i noticed that everyone had gone home. i've always had little fantasies of doing something naughty in there, but it usually involved someone else being there as well... there is a trick to doing something naughty in there as there are security cameras that can see most of the space...but not all...well, i think i'm dragging this out, but anyway, i put on IYFS, ran behind the back shelf, and then took everything i was wearing off...it was silly, but i'd been there for 10 hours doing shit data entry...well, i made myself take everything off, stood naked and counted to two (it was supposed to be to five but i chickened out) and then quickly put everything back on... i was pleased with myself...this is as close to public nudity i can get...sober anyway... if anyone is going to mojave 3, saint etienne, or godspeed ybe! in toronto, look for me and say hi... oh and if the cute girl who works at gwartzman's is on here... "hello, i liked your tshirt as well..." ab... The crudity and sparness of life is to be found in public lavatories." -Leoni Orton-Barnett, sister of Joe Orton. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: I heart Moo York
by oooon 20 Sep '00

20 Sep '00

hello everyone, i know you just~ can't wait to hear my new york story. especially if you even know i went there. so here's some little bits that still drifing about in my double jetlagged mind. i can't believe how little photo i took. no matter how i keep reminding myself to always take a lot of photo, because 1) photo is fun to look at 2) it's always nice to see oneself outside the mirror 3) it's best way to improve photography skill 4) it helps me remember what i did and where i went, etc. however, this time this new lab can make the index photo of all the photo! not the proof photo, but INDEX PHOTO! which is extra nice, like a very wee mini storyboard. apparently it's old news to some people, but i'm non hip to new technology, so i retain the opportunity to get terribly excited by that. it's so cute! some of you will get to be excited by it too when my father is back. telling travel story is not easy. where to begin, and how to make it reasonably short for humanitarian reason. i'll kindly skip the triple stop-start parts because myself might fall asleep recalling it. not the 22 and a half hours spending in cupboard very far above the groud that transported me from Bangkok to New york. maybe the ticket hell though, so that you'll know NOT TO BUY FLIGHT TICKET THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED ALL THE WAY. again, apparent old news to everyone else but me, who couldn't get the flight back as i was supposed to, meaning likeliness to get fired from my dearly beloved job. anyway, in the end i did manage to come home not too late, thanks to my diligent travel agent, who might otherwise have received a poo bomb regularly for the rest of their life. the above might sound like not very fun trip, but in fact i have so much fun i don't know what to start. To every LOVELY one i met there, i wish i can take you home. because you're very cute and entertaining. and very very nice and sweet to me. especially Amanda and Steve, Matthew and Brian, and Laurel who adopt me for long time. and the nice fat fluffy cats you have. it boasts my self-esteem that Madeline liked me a lot. Honey, now i miss your cats! Splat still won the most walking pillow lookalike cat i ever met award. Madeline is more like a moody living stuff toy, with an uncompromisingly naughty face. Amanda's Stupid Kitty..i think this effective name says it all really. that's my cat highlight. let me move a little bit onto some other highlight, such as cows. this is such a good idea! there're cows over the city. each done by one artist. the one in the Empire State is a cow bike, whose license plate word adorns my subject line. they're all very very nice. then there're shops. so many many nice shops for everyone. sadly i couldn't buy anything much because nice things are either pricy compare to my money shortage or no my size. but i love them all the same. shopping is always fun in new city. especially huge and cool city like this. i've been there over 2 weeks and probably have not seen half of the good ones! i simply cannot walk too much. everyday i went back home half wishing i could take my legs off and wrap them in pillows for a long time. i can just feel muscle painfully developing in my feet! but no need to worry about that, now that i'm home it'll go away in no time. and i really like the way you freely live out on your own there. everyone is free to make your own home. and your house is so lovely. now i understand why my friends who live abroad are totally into house decor. i'm quite inspired to do something with my house, as usual when i see nice house and get really jealous. but my house is simply hopeless. anyway, highlight highlight. the magic glass! firstly, the magic bathroom of Bar 89. see through when empty but not see through when you get in. secondly the clever shop window of Miyake. see through when you 're in front but not when you're not. lastly, the bloody shop window of some furniture shop i walked into the first day i arrived. that head injury only strenghtened the jetlag effect. therefore, they're to blame for all the faux pas i did, period. and then there's the picnic. Julie, i'm sorry i failed to bring you birthday present. but i'll make it up. some day. and Mr. Schatz who brought the ultra exotic Durian and lychee fruits, i salute you. both for your courage and thoughtfullness. i simply can not believe my eyes (and nose), to walk into a picnic in Central Park and behold a Durian sitting seductively there. i'm glad you ended up almost like it though. but whatever you do with it, do not ever keep Durian in the bedroom, please. i shudder to think what your neighbour will do to you and your smelly room. and sorry to the delicate one who almost got sick. it's a hard to acquire taste, but worthy. really. also, i'm sorry i went straight to sleep at the picnic, how rude of me. i was a bit sick. medicine's fault! highlight is more but i got to sleep now. maybe until next time. love, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
