Sinister: nonsense
by Retro^Sec 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

I'm so sleepy.. Its been a while I think, since a post to sinister came from me. This evening I met with a friend in The Wash. Hes had his hair cut, and its looking pretty good for hat hair. He gave me a christmas present, and I know it will be good - his taste and ability to judge my taste is impecable. Should think so too, after 7 years. The weekend, seems to have disappeared and left behind the glorious remenants of memories, floating round my mind like little floating candles. There is a memory, which was sparked off yesterday, when I heard Velvet Underground playing on the jukebox in the 13th Note. It reminded me of university. Of my first year in halls of residence, and how all the corridors, linking the ziggurat floors together and coasting down like the steps inside a ship, smelt of chicken soup, as all the smells of food combined. It reminded me of the hungover morning after my 19th birthday, when I had drunk champagne for the first time, from a pint glass on an empty stomach, and yes, downed it in one. The memory of crawling around on my hands and knees, opening the door so that visitors wouldn't stand banging on the glass to be let in. And when I looked up, there he was. A man with a black mullet, and eyeliner, in an orange shirt who looked like a beer bellied Richey Manic, and I fancied him. So I offered him some champagne. He smiled at me. Later, my flat mate said he told her he'd never been offered champagne from the bottle by a drunken pretty girl on her hands and knees before. The hangover morning, was sort of beautiful, and quite surreal. Looking out my steamed up window, onto the misty lake, and shivering under my duvet, and lying in bed for hours, gazing at the black and white Brett Anderson poster hung above my bed. The boys used to like that poster. They liked the idea of Brett Anderson watching us while we got it on. They said it was as if he approved. The Winchester Club was marvellous. I haven't listened to my free cee dee yet. I shall though. Soon. I am sleepy. My friend couldn't believe how quiet I was. idles x ===== <a href="http://retrosec.blogspot.com/">http://retrosec.blogspot.com/</a> thoughts __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: heading for a disaster (& A POSSIBLE PERTH PARTY ON NYE)
by terry underwear 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Topical Welcome Bit seasons greetings, Useless Trivia You Won't Find in Christmas Crackers Did you know that Nick Drake still holds the 100m sprint record at the school he went to (some fancy Marlborough boarding school)? Christmas Presents i saw the Salteens last week and they were fantastic. They are all so cute and damn they are good to dance to. I also sent my Present Exchange gifts out. i hope people enjoy them. Are you allowed to open the presents before Christmas (assuming you get them before Christmas)? Is there some kind of Sinister Christmas exchamge etiquette? Jokes as Bad as the Ones You Get in Christmas Crackers There is lots of talk on the B&S Q&A about the illegal copying and downloading of music isn't there? Personally i don't think there is anything wrong with it, I mean it has been going on for years. All those folks in Southern USA were burning copies of Beatles records for each other way back in the 60's, and the Nazi's were burning books way back before WW2. They were very technologically advancd weren't they? New Year's Eve Party I am thinking of having a New Year's Eve party at my house. It will probably be on December 31. All you lovely Perth listee's are invited, and anyone who is going to be in Perth is more than welcome to attend also. If you think you may be interested in coming please reply so I can decide whether to have it or not. There will be lots of boozing, dancing and nibbling. Possibly in that order... Candy Canes I bought the Merry Christmas from the White Stripes 7 inch yesterday. It is rather funny. The B-side consists of Jack reading a passage about the Three Wise Men from the bible, and then Meg singing Silent Night but forgettting the words. Realisation That I Have Nothing Else to Say and Have Written Some of the Worst Jokes Ever.. i have to buy Christmas presents for my family now. I really should make some things for them too, seeing as how I will probably put more thought into what I gave to people I've never met. Is that bad? Do I need to ask if that is bad? Is this post bad? Do I need to ask if it is bad? Topical Farewell Bit merry christmas and all that, terry _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i can't think of anything
by pulu xxx 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

hello, i felt so stupid after writing that mail on thrusday, cos it was just a photo, he wasn't even with any girl in it. i've just been obsessing about him lately and about boys in general. i thought i was over it, but every night i try to to think about something nice so i've been thinking about being with someone and whether i could be with anyone, whether i'd still have feelings for him. and if someone would say that he loves me or something and whether i could say the same thing to him, and i realised that i can't. so i thought i really have to stop obsessing about finding someone and obsessing about him, cos that takes just so much energy. and my grades are hurting, cos it's difficult to concentrate on school work. but i'm just tired of it though, and i regret that i missed that one exam because of him. i'm generally able to control my emotions, but it's just when i'm alone i tend to freak out about things and make then bigger than what they probably are, in reality. something else now: does anyone here attend strathclyde university? i might be coming there in january, i've been offered a place to study there for the 2nd semester, but i'm not sure whether i should go, and i don't know whether i get a place at the halls of residence. but yesterday i read from nme that the delgados are playing there on january the 28th and i could see them, and i'd like to see them. but the thing that worries me are the courses, especially those tutorials that you have. i was planning to take some courses in history and literature and maybe in politics. so i'd be studying at faculty of arts and science, what are the teachers like there? i'd like to go to necropolis and visit nick drake's grave and sylvia plath's too, and maybe go to isle of skye. i better go now, thanks for listening and caring. me x __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: I think it may all be getting sorted
by Sean Howell 15 Dec '02

15 Dec '02

Hello there dear Sinister, *Introduction* How have you all been? I hope everyone has been exceptionally well. *the first snowfall of the year* A few nights ago brought the first snowfall of the year, around midnight it started, and lasted until around 4p, the following day. The first snowfall of the year always seems somewhat magical, I suppose the fact that we don't get appreciable snowfall terribly often here in Maryland likely has something to do with that. But either way, the other night ended up being far more that just a cold winter night at my house. I had a long conversation with someone who I've only recently resumed being friends with, and well, that made me very happy about the fact that I had been forgiven. We shared what has been on our mind as of late, and well, it's been essentially the same sort of things...I offered the best advice I could give, which I still fear could have stood to be better. That affair ended at approximately 2:30am, and I promptly decided it was time for me to go out for a walk and a smoke. I had my first smoke on the porch, as I usually do...but well the neighborhood just looked so beautiful, covered with a fresh blanket of crystalline powder, and I decided that it was time for that walk. I walked down the dark streets, the only light being that reflected from the seemingly distant street light's of my neighbors. I've walked that same path hundreds, likely thousands, of times, and never once has it looked quite as it did last night. Never before has it seemed so beautiful. I felt a bit guilty leaving my footprints in the snow, and I secretly hoped that by morning they would be covered up by the still falling snow. So I continued to walk, and I had a couple of smokes, and I realized that things all seemed to feel surprisingly right. I haven't felt more like myself in months. And well, after I realized that, I decided it was time to turn back, and head home to bed. So I made my way back through the snow, and once I got back into the house I nearly fell flat on my face, as well, creepers with snow on the bottom of them on hardwood floors are rather slick, and make for a bloody dangerous combination. As I crawled into bed a couple of minutes later, all the things that had been bothering me had been neatly folded like my shirt, sweater, and trousers on the table beside my bed. The chaos of this past month finally seems behind me. The chaos of crashing my car 3 weeks ago. The chaos of watching 13 years of a friend of mine's life nearly burn to the ground. The chaos of having two boys with bad moustaches try to fight me for no reason whatsoever that same night. The chaos of feeling like a bad person. It had been made sense of for a while. Granted a bit of the magic has worn off by this point, but well, it was still a nice experience. I'm once again in contact with a couple of people, whom I haven't spoken to in a while, and that is helping...thank you both. Friendships are being renewed, we are catching up, and well, that's splendid. *meeting and greeting* Um, I will be in Boston at some point this winter break, staying with some family, and would very much like to meet up with some sinister people while visiting. So any listees who are interested please write me, I'd be quite happy to hear from you! It will obviously be a bit too cold for a picnic or anything like that, but maybe we could go to museums and out to dinner, or something like that? Also, and listees from the MD/DC/PA area, I'd love to hear from you as well, since I'm here year round, and would of course be into doing some hanging out. *a break of the winter variety* I have a scant two days until my semester is officially done for! No more exams, no more exceptionally lengthy papers, no more nights spent in the library, no more walking around the University of Maryland campus and exhausting myself....well, at least until the end of January. The classes I'm registered for next semester seem like they should be fairly interesting though. I'm starting to learn German, Taking a course on the history of modern biology, a British history course, and a computer cartography for archaeology course...fun fun fun eh?? This friday is the annual office holiday party, which should be interesting. Last year my housemate ended up getting kissed by a very drunk co-worker. I'm not sure how good of an idea the combination of my co-workers and an open bar is...most likely, if history is any indication, not a very good one. *I think it's better to give and receive* Hey, why not have your cake and eat it too? I should be getting some extra fun gifts this year, my mum ordered me a lovely set of Belle and Sebastian playing cards, and the ever popular ampersand t-shirt. I'm also exceptionally excited to see what I get as part of the sinister gift exchange. All of my gifts for the exchange have been safely packed up, and shipped off. I'm dearly hoping that all packages will arrive on time. I'm sure they will, but well, I get worried sometimes, and I don't want any list grudges to devlop as a result of the U.S. Postal service. *the end...for now* Well, I think that's enough out of me for now. In the infinite free time brought by winter break expect to hear lots more from this boy in days and weeks to come. Take wonderful care, all of you.

Sinister: summer vacation lasts forever
by . alex . 14 Dec '02

14 Dec '02

Hello Sinister, I am listening to the All Girl Summer Fun Band as I type this - sunny girlie american pop songs, apt for the summery weather that I'm in the midst of here. No cute girls in winter clothes here, I'm afraid. Last night I went to a friend's 18th birthday, a fancy dress party. Failing to find anything "fancy" or "dress" in my wardrobe, I decided to go as a schoolgirl (with regulation knee-length skirt, of course!). Two other girls stole my idea: I wasn't impressed. One boy came as The Phantom, another as a race car driver, some girls as 60s mod girls. There was one boy there who came as a punk circa 1985. It was the most impressive dress-up effort I'd seen, right down to the fingerless studded leather gloves and godawful wig. So I decided to talk to him only to discover his penchant for bad American emo bands like Saves The Day and Alkaline Trio. But even so, that was comparatively better than the musical tastes of the majority of other people at the party. So here I was, drunken and rambling, writing him a list of all these bands he should listen to. Then I asked him the magical question: "Do you like Belle & Sebastian?", to which he answered, "yes, I have 'If You're Feeling Sinister'" :) It made my night. Now I want to try and convert the emo boy to lots of good bands... xox Alex (who is sitting at home on a saturday night and not entirely feeling sorry for herself for a change) ===================================== I took your advice and fixed my radio But I can't find anything that sounds good anymore http://www.geocities.com/veruca_salt_97/ http://darlingalex.diaryland.com/ _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the same day
by s. lord 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

today has been off to somewhat of a plesant start - first i received a phone call at 1:30 from the new love of my life - just he doesn't know that yet - well maybe he does - i haven't told him though - but it was great to hear his voice again - i recently decided that i should take a chance and go after him - i was toying with the idea of what it would be like with him vs. without him - what if he says no - to many things to think about - but after a night of numerous whiskey sours and good conversation with a friend i decided that i should talk the chance - also received a line from a sinester lad - thanks to you chris for the message - it really reafirmed that i was thinking - so i am taking the chance - life it too short not to really - what do i have to loose - but anyway - i got off track - i talked with him for a little over two hours till about 4 in the morning - realizing that i needed to be upi and constious in about three hours i bid him farewell - and went to bed - in the morning i got up late - got dressed late and was late to the last day of my morning class - i was a little worried that my professor - who talks monotone and reminds me so much of the teacher in farris bueller - would have a short quiz or something heartless - when to my surprise he was actually just putting the room to sleep with readings from a journal no the differnt kinds of sexual deviations - nver before has a person made topics like transvestites and sado masachism seem boring - but he pulled it off with flying colors - i was asleep in ten minutes - but not for too long - i was rudely awakened by the studious girl whom always is sitting next to me who thought that it wa imperative that i stay awake for this class - she whispered to me - girl:this is the last class of the semester for you, show some respect to your professor and pay attention to him. me:how can i stay awake? i feel like mr. rogers is teaching me about sexual deviance. girl:force yourself to. how do you think he feels? he probably knows he is not very interesting. me: whatever, i don't care. - well then she got up set cause she thinks i am not learning anything - called me a 'poop' and left me to sleep - my second class of the day was even better then the snoozefest that preceed it - in that class for our final we have a large paper to write on modern sociological theory - i am still confused about how i am supposed to turn 2 pages of abstract theory given to us into a 14 page paper - but i just thought that i would bullshit my way through it - well once i got to class today - my teacher was already there - and she looked very ill - she had missed all this previous week with some sickness and apparently she still has it - this illness has such forced her to rethink the paper she assigned - she has thus shurnk it by half the size it was supposed to be and has take off one of the requirements - it was the happiest day i have had in a long time - it was hard to conceil my excitment in front of her - she seemed dissappointed and appologized numerous times that she had to cut it short - by the look on everyones faces i don't think we feel too cheated - i hope the rest of my day continues this trend of good deeds! - then perhaps i will have something new to write about instead of this stupid post! - sorry this was boring - much love to you all s.s.lord. ------------------------------------------------------------ what we place most hopes upon generally proves most fatal. - vicar of wakefeild _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Mary Hansen
by Michael Ashbridge 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

I don't think it's been mentioned here yet. Possibly some of you haven't heard, and I know there are many fans. Mary Hansen, vocalist/guitarist with Stereolab since 1992, was killed on Wednesday. It's still a little unclear exactly what happened. She was cycling in London. Some reports say a truck was involved. Others, a car. Funeral next week, back in Australia.

Sinister: Jizz is just a modern pork slop
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

Ken's back! Thank fuck for that. (his front's not bad either!) Wow, I can carry on writing in single sentances like this. But I might offend Kieran Devaney, so I won't, because I quite like him, for a start he wrote about post office cum newsagents and jazz mags, and he went to Offbeat Xmas special! Me too! It was indeed a lot of fun. I even got to dance with a dog on wheel. Mmmmm. And sampled the worse veggie burger in the world, ever. -- I haven't been posting lately, guess I've been busy with crap, too, but not the way Ellebelle has been. (to whom I send my sympathies, shit happens, I guess) Speaking of poo, has anyone ever tried to control the shape of their poo? Like, experimenting with various arse muscle contraction patterns? Has anyone ever made a perfectly spherical poo? Rabbits are good at this, those are the cutest things in the world, it's no wonder how rabbits get to hump all day! As the saying goes Dump hard, Hump hard. And also You dump what you eat. Speaking of cute things. Girls in winter clothes = cute. You see one and you just want to give her the biggest hug ever. The other day down the escalator of a tube, I saw this cutest girl ever, wearing a grey overcoat -> Aww Cute. THEN she put on her scarf! *gasp* CUTE! And then came the killer, oh man, she put on her wooly hat! !C!U!T!E!S!T! !T!H!I!N!G! !I!N! !T!H!E! !W!O!R!L!D! !E!V!E!R! Anyway. A long time ago (before I had my shits) Christopher Johnson wrote about how he doesn't like B&S anymore because the band now have a Q&A section and he thinks that they're pansy. And I totally agree, when I first listened to B&S it was like "YEAH MAN! Outside the butchers with a knife on a bike chain, la la la." GET IN! And THEN I asked Stuart Murdoch what it actually meant and apparently one time he was riding his bike and when he went past the butchers and saw the butcher with the big knife he shat himself and fell off his bike. So the bike chain got all tangled up and he had to borrow the knife to untangle the chain, but the chain was too heavy so he failed, and then he cried and so the butcher helped him untangling the bike chain and gave him a porkchop flavoured lolly before sending him off to his merry ways. WHAT A PONCE. I'm definitely going to be listening to their pretty little peel session NEXT WEDNESDAY! So I can LAUGH at his delicate cream puff foppish lily unvirile pussy ways. And ALSO I'm going to the jolly christmas HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LOVED party next THURSDAY - yer! When Stuart Murdoch will be DJing one day after the Peel Session so I can laugh at how much of a pansy he is to his face. Ken P.S.: My opinion on Sigur Ros: Warjrjjjkeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllla kasjksjjssssssssssss. Sorry it's written in Kennish and only I understand it. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: indulgence and information
by marisa stroud 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

Quick question: does anyone know any tricks to get around the $18 000 tuition fee for international students who want to do a Master's degree at a Scottish university? I mean bursaries, grants, tutoring etc (I already thought of robbing a train, mugging old ladies and selling my body on the street). I want to do a degree at Glasgow next year, but I don't want my grandkids to inherit my debt. Seems like the season to ask Sinister for help. Thanks for your patience. marisa. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
