Sinister: J'adore la France.
by Phil Two 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi Sinister, I haven't posted in awhile, and I haven't been in chat much lately so I thought I would send you all a reminder of my existence. I've been in Paris for about a month now. But! I have come to the conclusion that I hate the French language, French culture, French men, French pop, French bathrooms, French food, French dogs, French pants, French mustard, and everything French [save for Elena, Volvic, and Tahiti 80]. A revelation I wish I had discovered sometime before my 12 years of formal French language education and before signing up for this cursed study abroad session. Happily, only 4 months to go... I have a feeling I'll be taking many more weekend excursions to London in the near future, like the one last weekend where I spent all my money resulting in my recent diet of baguettes and baguettes. But I got to meet Ally Cook and Lucy Alder and David Moore and the usual cast of characters. I did leave my toothbrush at Mell Street though. I cant wait for ATP though. But I don't think I'll be playing any sort of football/soccer. Sorry Mark Cassarato. I've never actually kicked a ball in my life before... And I'm feeble. And slow. And would look funny in gym shorts. OK, well off to dinner [baguette]. Phil.... __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.

Bon soir tout le monde, It was good to read Blake's last post and be reassured that I'm not the only one who sacrifices himself on the altar of St. Valentine from time to time. I've come to many realizations quite recently, so my past ritual of driving around all night listening to Pet Sounds is out of the question. I'll probably be in some dank bar trying to the put the make on a total stranger after a few too many Budweisers...its just been that kind of year. Speaking of fluctuations in our ability to be limp-wristed saps from year to year, what is everyone's Valentine's song this year - you know, the one you'll be singing to yourself all day long (or someone else will be singing to you)? I tried summing up this entire romantic year (from 2/14 to 2/14...kind of fucked up, like the fiscal year) and I think I just may have found the right one. This year, I believe I will be singing Whiskeytown's "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight," which contains the ace line, "This situation keeps me drinking every goddamn day and night." Other finalists include ANY Elvis Costello tune, especially "High Fidelity," Weezer's "The Good Life," and Norweigan Wood, because he burns that bitch's place to the ground. Over and out... Steve C. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Middle Distance Napster and Napster MORE!
by Megan Conniff 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

I got Mick McMick's (however it's said!) studio version of Lonliness of a Middle Distance Runner a few weeks back, so if you look for me on Napster, ceasetocare, I've got it as well and I know I've been passing it around. Sorry, I know I'm not meant to go spreading around info about free b&s mp3's . . . . . Okay, I'm going to try to finish listening to the Great Eastern by the Delgados before I got to class. 17 minutes and I'm on track 6! Looks I might be missing logic this morning. Oh, and if you DO happen to look me up on Napster, I recently found a lot of Felt stuff (IMPOSSIBLE for me to find here in Virginia) and please excuse all the Lilac Time songs. A friend of mine sent them to me and I haven't got around to listening to them yet That's it for post #2.

Sinister: Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 12:49:43 -0000

Someone has no doubt beaten this digestive to it, but Stuart, mate, global warming makes the sea expand anyway, so any water from melted ice will expand as well. Right. To business. Apologies for being so parochial (I do it a lot), but could anyone in and around London who wants to form a sinister 5-a-side footie team let me know. There have been tentative efforts to sort something out before, but there still doesn't seem to be one, so it'd be great to have a list of interested parties. You don't have to be superb, or Ally Cook - you just need to want to play, semi-regularly if we can get organised. Please email me privately and we'll see if there's enough interest - even 10 people would be fine. Any more and we can have a B team too :-) Finally, could all locals keep the evening of Thursday April 5th free. Ta... Mark xxx p.s. wonder if Big Stu fancies facing me on the footie pitch in the near future ;-) ********************************************************************** 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: don't you know love goes home to paris in the spring?
by Blakie 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi. You. Kitten. I was talking on #sinister this evening about a relevant topic but I soon realized that I have no relevant topic to discuss on this here list. OK so I have a few, but none of them may be interesting nor arousing nor romantic enough for your old eyes. So I'll try. Age is a funny thing. I feel like both a 12 year old boy and a 60 year old man trapped in a 20 year old body (yes I am that old/young). That being said, for the last month I've been encapsulated in a rigorous weight lifting program via my best friend. He is a big, big guy and it was very humorous to see us always together: me a twig, he an immense trunk. So I've been working out for a month, seven days a week, and the girls will be lining up outside my door in a few weeks. Right? Right? Ugh. Muscles aren't beneficial when all one wants is a nice indie girl, are they? Hummmmmmmm. That being said, this immense friend and I went to a Borders on Saturday night (you see, we avoid the FRAT parties) to browse and I bought "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss. "The Giving Tree" made me cry in the children's section, and so i had to duck behind a shelf to hide my tears. I spoke with someone who hated said book, and I ask, how can one hate the book? It's a children's book, lighten up! I just read it again and I am really really sad. J'ai tres triste. My elementary french comes through again. I was talking with a friend of mine (a girl, yea) and she found my love of children's books fascinating and extremely cute. Then she said it was time for her to go to bed. Hummmm ughhhhhh. I am having a horrible, horrible girl crisis: one so bad I can't confess to the list. Now, when has that ever happened? Never, I tell ya. NEVER. I proposed to Marie Elia but she turned me down. Boooo Ree. Girls are so cruel, aren't they? That will certainly become my mantra. Will someone tell me when girls become sensible and somewhat intelligent? That being said a friend of mine asked me what the greatest creation on Earth is and I said "beautiful girls". There really is nothing more amazing nor invigorating than a beautiful girl. I am such a sucker. When will I learn? I love you all, Blakie xoxoxoxoxoxox the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Middle Distance Napster

Anyone able to find MickMcMick's files on Napster?

Sinister: Daisy line printer's chain
by Kenneth P Y Chu 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi, How does one cry? I don't know, I've been trying to for a week now. I'm still in this lull of emptiness with nothing happening, which always spells trouble is coming soon. They always say that if I cry, I will feel much better, so I tried, but it didn't work. My exam results came through and I've done okay, which is good, even though I could have done better, but then, I shouldn't complain after dossing about for a whole semester. Oh I feel like poop I don't know why, if I know I'll probably be happier. Bloody hell, I was going to write a happy fun sinister post to raise the mood... I'll try now: :-) Did that work? Okay, I'll try harder then :) Well there are good stuff today, like Robin's post was funny, but I partly felt sorry for his rough weekend, even JenOwl doesn't have weekends that bad! He needs to talk about Belle and Sebastian more, I think, cos they're good. Marikka asked if it is healthy to be obsessed with "slow graffiti", well, I am, so it probably isn't, but it's an excellent song, and it's kinda like how I'm feeling at the moment. Erm, can't think of anything more.. maybe a few things that you should or shouldn't do on Valentine's day if you're single to help you get by the crap ness. - Don't go to Valentine's day parties it doesn't help. - Don't visit your non single friends cos it doesn't help, and they will hate you when you disturb them. - Don't visit your single friends, cos it doesn't help and you'll just end up multiplying your collective sadness. - Don't visit your parents, cos they will either be uncomfortably nice to you, or nag you for being single, or in my case accuse you to be gay, which doesn't help. - Do listen to Belle and Sebastian it does help. So, the perfect solution is to sit alone in your room listening to Belle and Sebastian, yes, same as every other day :) Happiness and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== I was surprised I was happy for a day in 1975 - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Robin faces death... and survives!
by Robin Stout 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Well, it's been a strange weekend. For most of it I was dreadfully ill, with the worst flu I've had in ages. I spent most of my time in bed, trembling and worried I was going to die, or watching Allo Allo*, trembling and worried I was going to die. After my near brush with death, and after lots of chicken soup, I had a chat to my housemate who was playing darts. One of the darts deflected off the board and stuck in the back of my neck. If I was on Allo Allo* I'd have probably called him a ducking runt. Thankfully it didn't really do any damage, and after lots of soup I was totally shipshape and ready to sail on the high seas with my sails full and my mast erect. Then, on Sunday, my mum hit me in the eye with a mirror. So it wasn't the luckiest weekend, really. I'm very excited about Struan's rectorial campaign. I'm very excited about the prospect of two new singles too. In fact I have to remember to keep my excitement under control. When I was ill, and I talked about my 'rectorial fever' people just acted concerned and suggested I went to the toilet, but now I don't think they'd be so understanding. I really have to try my best not to talk about Belle and Sebastian to my more normal friends. I think they normally think I'm dull, and at best slightly loopy. Robinx * Q - What is India's most popular sitcom? A - Aloo Aloo!
