Sinister: can't decide whether to do yoga or pilates?
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

mark may be feeling chubby, but at least he hasn't sunk to the depths that matt and i have reached in our post-christmas self-loathing. i just sent the following email to louise solomon of 'yogalates' (the best bits of yaga AND pilates) fame: Dear Louise, I have just received my Yogalates DVD from amazon.co.uk, but (unlike in my local stores) no resistance band was provided with it. Are there UK outlets where I can buy a resistance band as used in your DVD? Hope you can help! Regards, Rachel Playforth Brighton, UK oh my god. what's happening to meeeee???!!! while not buying terrible fitness videos, i sometimes like to watch bbc 2, you know. and while watching a trail for a new crop of programmes (jamie oliver may have featured), i was surprised to recognise the backing music as the intro to 'i could be dreaming'. someone at bbc 2 is definitely a fan. speaking of tigermilk, on 'my wandering days are over', is there a horse-type sound effect at the 'disenchanted pony' bits, or is it just an echo in the music/my imagination? gigs! london! i can't afford a ticket yet, maybe not ever. but yay, anyway. neil heartlessly informed me that they 'nearly' played brighton, but decided not to... but i can't be too depressed - b&s may not be coming to brighton, but sinister is! i'm off to york tomorrow until monday, but will get into proper picnic mummy (or rather, pub mummy) mode when i get back. are people from london arranging to get a train together? aim to get here about 2.30 if so. well, i'll see some of the york massive tomorrow i hope, and the rest of you either in brighton on just in my dreams :) luv archel xxx ps. b&s content - 2.5 paragraphs! ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: I mention farting in this post
by Mark Casarotto 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

It's funny, the effects a chinese takeaway can have (and not just on your wind). Yesterday I was skinny, sexy and BEAUTIFUL; today I'm a chubby lad with, if I may say, not insubstantial booty. It's all that Lucy's fault. There haven't been a lot of housework updates from me as, well, I haven't done a lot of housework this week. Once again my kitchen floor is shiny, and my washing up would make Mary Poppins jealous. But I've been OUT and ABOUT this week, partly having fun, partly doing jobby things (get your minds out of the gutter) which actually went quite well... It's tempting fate far too much to go into detail, but I had an informal meeting with a shit-hot TV company on Monday, and they really liked me! Don't watc this space, as nothing'll probably come of it, but feel free to keep your fingers crossed for me anyway... Dimitra, your posts (I'm a couple of days behind, sorry) were quite something! I hope I can live my life with some of the love and passion that infuses yours. You were especially right about Honey. isn't she just the cutest? Hannah, use your polaroid to take pictures of fucking. That's what they're for, you know. Archel posted, which is good enough for me. So did Dappers - it's like all my Christmases have come at once (and not had the decency to sleep in the wet patch)! Ken, you're too modest! Although I did WIN bowling because I ROCK, it was because Ken, in a moment of either light-hearted whimsy or cold-hearted arrogance (for both of which he is rightly renowned), wasted his last ball when he could have got four more points. My victory margin was three points. You work it out. Oh! Belle and Sebastian are playing in London. That'll be nice. How much nicer it would have been if they could have played four shows somewhere dinky and pleasant instead of a one off at the soulless hole that is the Academy. Ho hum. Ungrateful, moi?

Stephen Hewitt had problems on the phone... That's odd. Because at 9am this morning the internet bit wasn't working for me- typically after labouriously entering my card details etc it said there was a problem with "availability". SoI phoned the number where I was told I was at the red hot Belle and Sebastian ticket line. I ordered 2 tickets from a Real Life person with no problems (other than the stupidly large postage charge. If I pay 4.50 sterling I want my tickets delivered by helicopter) She also told me they weren't available on the internet yet. AmI living in a parallel universe or something? (B&S content checked.

Sinister: You're just a baby, baby Stu.
by Rebecca Wright 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Much wailing and rending of garments in true biblical style down this end. I knew KNEW the moment I heard B&S were doing a set of gigs that any remotely close to me would clash with Peru. But April the 3rd!! that is a salt-rubbing 48 hours after I leave, would it be horrendously sad if I tried changing flights or something. Isobel, hey Isoo-bell! If you're toying with the idea of playing down in Cuzco anytime between April and June then you've got one definite buyer already- oh, think of a happy place and count your blessings...... Almost a namesake was Gayle's bump which I'm still having trouble seeing as a soon-to-be person, esp for one younger than me but more Wordly wise- for comparative purposes I sat about all alone Friday night watching The Pink Panther show. Previous weekend I was down the Tree with Rach'- "Has Gayle thought of any names yet?" "Yeah, she wants Stuart, Stuart David" Rach' didn't see the relevance, not a drop of twee in her. Manouvered my way through a swarm of WKDs (blue, not orange) to Gayle, smoking a fag a minute but with lemonade only. "You calling your baby Stuart David?" "No, Sean David" "Oh,...that with an e-a or the other way?" Still for a second there... I'll go now, talk more once I've gotten things into perspective. When you lot are having the bestest time down in Brixton spare a thought for me and the llamas, I'll be holding my own little concert with my B&S t-shirt and a walkman. See everyone in Brighton Becky xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my first post with some whine on the side
by bus stoppers 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

hello everyone in the land of everything sinister, i'm sara. i was released from the nursery to run and prance in the green fields covered in fog. i don't really know how to start this except for to tell a wee bit about me-self. i'm a chain smoker. i'm 21 and a cancer. i'm 60 inches tall. this is boring. uuuummm. well, i have to say that being in the nursery proved to be an intimidating thing for me. i read everyone's posts and started to feel a bit inferior. did i even spell that right? this list has already become a part of my life. it sounds cheesy and lame, but it's true. i have talked with a couple of you already. and matt has reassured me that all will be fine. i was thinking about how this list has SO many people attached to it. and how they all have faces. and jobs. and stories. and how some of them are shared. reading the posts is like looking at someone's eyes. or ears or something. i think that all of you loverly people are each a belle and sebastian song personified. but not. it's a nice escape from my life of work. and insomnia. i'm a relatively new belle and sebastian fan. about a year and a half ago, i was introduced to them by a boy. (this doesn't make me any less of a true fan though, does it? the boy is recently out of the picture. and yes, he did break my heart.) i saw them last year in l.a. i sat in the nose bleed section whilst my old roomie was down on the floor. and she was the worst roommate ever. i hated her for the damn orange wrist band. was it even orange? i feel like i should talk about something. i guess i could tell a story now. i cried today. i got my labret (sp?) pierced the day before christmas eve. and the ball part of the ring kept falling off today. well the third time it fell out, i couldn't get it back in. so i cried four tears. it was so pathetic. but i was trying for an hour... high fives and thumb ups cuz it's all over now, sara __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: your trolloping paise all run over
by paisley tie 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

allo my sinisters. i heard there was once a trollop in paisley. and that she was quite a proper scottish lassie, and nice, and got thrown out of places besides. i'm not her. i'm texan. (sinister round-up yay.) and noisy. and crude. and profane. but i have a tendency to get thrown out of places as well. not recently, though. the thing isn't to avoid being thrown out, but to be thrown out with *STYLE*. make a political statement. make it postmodern. make it art. and don't forget the victory dance. victory's never anything but an excuse. excuse something worthwhile then. the dance will cheer you. and it helps to shake the muck off. write a song, i'll sing along...and i will. when i'm 21, i might not get thrown out of so many places. or maybe i'll just be able to get into more places, thereby increasing the likelihood that i'll be thrown out. dancing either way, hey. as my friend says, we're harmless. but they eye us in class, on campus, on the street and yell things. drunks, small children, frat boys, and random street people. a couple weeks ago, a car full of frat boys rode close to the curb where i was walking. "is it a boy or a girl?!" my friend gets the same. so when we're together, we grin like chesire cats. after gneissy and amy and the one who wrote about being a girl being a role, i decided i'd let myself post a bit about gender after all. because it's something i don't think about too much, but sometimes. gender was made to be fucked with. a cage with space enough for grammar, maybe, but even that gets a bit cramped. only serious enough for satire. it should be whatever i want to make of it. doesn't it belong to me? oh yes it does. be filthy and fine. paisley psst: mandee made me do it. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
