Sinister: seeing other people in chicago
by amy longcore 16 May '02

16 May '02

Ken went to the show there steered american for practice would his driving be subjective Or would ken be left behind us he drove from chicago he drove right into motown Well if I remain in the front row and not see ken 'til after the show muddle Ill surely be ok but ken will be in trouble Planning to play scrabble, atleast thats what we said we were doing So ken was left feeling Like a wanton boy reeling He went to the pick me up for eggs and fell In love with a new friend named benedict He claimed When this is over Ill be looking at milton keynes through the eyes of a whino! Whoa whoa To the picnic I couldnt show Really, I have no pretension And Ken couldnt understand why I was stuck at a diner With the sweet sandy and karren twins You can bet he wished he were there then But if there isnt time for scrabble then it is apparent That kens gonna have to rearrange flights or Come back to the states for his girls we would be better off Atleast he knows how to spell shit! Ken leaned on the wall there Mingling at the party, yeah I couldnt dance enough While all the other girls were queuing up to meet ken No time for scrabble now I boogied with ree and henderson Well if I remain passive and dont get to lay a tile I should be ok, but ken will think Im idle Sorry, no time for scrabble We could have atleast made time for a good snoggin Planning to play scrabble atleast thats what we said we were doing Planning to play scrabble atleast thats what we said we were doing _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Northwood will always be 1986
by James Danson-Hatcher 15 May '02

15 May '02

Tubetrain pulls out of Northwood out of my space out of my connection to the future for just a little while. Walk, till pink and orange above the roofs flood my eye, Walk, till pink and orange flicker into life to light the streets. Tears streaming from eyes let other people know I'm lost Tubetrain pulls into Northwood Glad to see sliding doors opening for me My connection's back in a spray of blue sparks and often Northwood visits me. Northwood is 1986 to me. hey hey Sinister you all have been quite interesting lately, and I'm so jealous Kenny. I've really have not written in ages, largely because my head has been working slower than George Bush and I've been having one of my being quiet moments. However this being quiet moment has been going on for about a month or something now so I thought I'd say hello to sinister in an attempt to shrug off work. Hello,i want the parrot!

Sinister: Why are love stories only about falling in love?
by Sunny set 15 May '02

15 May '02

I said to her ahhh come on! Ok you want mystery! but you cant spend you life with reactionary bastards! When some when opens their heart to you thats a great thing you know? We laughed and nodded. It was past 5.00 , time to go home and we were all listening to a the philosophy from that self confessed crazy guy from Pakistan. He isnt crazy, he just says everything he thinks. He turned to me and said: I tell this to people who are younger than myself, it takes more brain power and a bigger heart to maintain the same level of intimacy with a single person than to play the same set of cards with different people. It made me think. I thought about my grandparents house in the town by the sea. I thought about the smell of the sea, and roses, and the freshly baked pastry. I thought about the dark green carpet, and the garden with shells dotted about and I thought about summer morning when me and my sister would get up before my mum and dad. We would creep downstairs quietly and into the kitchen where my grandma would be at the sink peeling vegetables, or preparing a cheese cake or cutting jelly into cubes. We would sit at a table that was just high enough for a 7 year old and a 4 year old. My grandma brought her marmite on toast and sugary tea. We wore our nighties and brightly coloured straw hats that my grandma had brought especially for our visit. My sister would do most of the talking and we would sip teas as we enjoyed the ambiance of Rainbow Café. As we were finishing our tea and toast my Granddad would come down stairs. Each morning without fail, the first thing he would do was to give my grandma a kiss. When I was 7 I dont think I took much notice of this. Just another one of the strange things grownups did. I grew older and began to take more notice of this ritual. It wasnt the kiss itself, anybody can kiss another person. It was the look in both of their eyes. A look of warmth and of love. After all those years their love didnt weaken or die. It was there bold as brass and as strong as ever. The crazy guy from Pakistan isnt at all crazy. He is right it does takes a lot of strength of character to maintain so much warmth over such a long period of time. I just hope that I will find I have enough brainpower and a big enough heart to love someone for the rest of my life. I just hope Im lucky enough to find someone who will look into my eyes and kiss me gently each morning.

Sinister: Err...DC Picnic...
by Vilkas . 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hello DC Kids, There will be a meetup. I know it's very late to announce this...but we are slack ass. So here are the details: *When:6pm-6:45/7pm. *Where: Georgtown Booeymonger. It's a bagel joint/deli. Veggie options a plenty. Great bagels. Great mixed salads. Inexpensive yet yummy. Not techincally a picnic. Football played at your own risk cos it's not really a park. The exorcist steps are a few blocks up the street. *Dircetions and shit: Corner of Prospect & 30-something streets. One block up from M street. can be seen from M street. Y'know the corner where Dean and Deluca, Subway, and Fettoosh are? Right. Prospect street is across the street from Dean and Deluca. It's one block west of the big-ass intersection of "M" and Wisconson streets. There is street parking in the neighborhood and after 6 there is parking on M street. Closest metro stop is Rosslyn. Can't tell you about buses. From Rosslyn, walk across Key Bridge, take a right on M street, go up a few blocks and take a left onto Prospect. It's on the beginning of the second block there. It's easy to get back to the venue area from Georgetown. Just go East on M street until it becomes Pennsylvania and go around until you hit 18th. Alternately, you can get back on the highway business...y'know what 66E beomes when it hits the city? Right. Go back on Key Bridge and go East on 66 until it turns into the big bridge next to the Kennedy center. This will put you straight onto Constitution ave and the mall area and the venue is on 18th. *Who: Jenny is wearing jean coloured capri pants, black t shirt and has long blonde hair. I, Vilkas, have wavy/puffy, dark brown meduim length hair and a nose ring. We will wear badges upside down. *Help I'm lost cos Vilkas' directions suck: My mobile is (804)306-7763. Use don't abuse this number. *Mwah!: Hope to see a few of you there on this late ass notice. Don't be afraid. We won't bite unless you bite first. Love and Bagels, Vilkas (and by proxy Jenny) _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: one final act of desperation
by * Rae * 15 May '02

15 May '02

so, i had 2 tickets. and then i didnt have 2 tickets. someone just offered me a ticket. i was going to drive up with laura llew, but she left early this morning. so, in a hopeful breath: no one happens to be driving thru the western half of north carolina on their way to dc any time today, do they? yeah, i suck. but i'm desperate. so i'll have actual content now. i was able to see half of the show in atlanta (there was a car wreck and we got there an hour late... right in time for 'dont turn the light on baby'.. ) and made the obligitory stuart has a sexy accent comment, which he heard and repeated on stage, and i was happy. i've decided that all this hoopla is just a sign i'm supposed to go to the uk to see them. i like that idea, and i'm definitly going to use it. and i've also decided that to calm myself down and make myself feel better, since i know as well as you do that this isnt going to work, that i'm going to go cd shopping. so i'm accepting suggestions. love and apologies, rae _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: where the lino tells a sorry story
by Robyn Hesser 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hello all, Will the list abuse ever stop!! Alas, that's the way it goes. This is important however, I promise, at least to me. I will be traveling across the U.S. as I previously said in my last posting. I am still looking for anyone who might want to meet up in Chicago, Cleveland, Rhode Island or Boston. I plan to be in Boston on June fourth (the day Storytelling comes out!!) I need to find a store in Boston where I can call to reserve a copy. Please please take pity on me and send me an email if you know of one, or if you'd like to meet up (or let me crash on your floor (I am very tidy and quiet as a mouse when needed)) along the way. Oh dear, the melancholy I've fallen into lately, it's very sad. First learning that if only I'd been wiser at saving my pennies and other forms of currency, I could have made it to Chicago. Sad, I could have seen the infamous Ken Chu in person. (The tears begin) then I learned that perhaps it's best that I stayed here since we learned we must move as our oh so kind landlord is selling our cute little house. I've also broken someone's heart and had my own quite bruised. Things will pick up soon, they always do. I appreciate your kind listening (those of you who've made it this far) I will try to be more positive and less demanding in the future. ~Bynnic P.S. Please, please respond you lovely americans (any who are not so nice, please refrain) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i could have been an elastic bend I could have been a spring
by Stefano S. 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hello sinister This is going to be long and boring and featuring rational mechanics. If not in the moos skip it. Skip it even if you’re the mood. I’m using the list as a therapist. Is it an abuse? I’m not drunk. I wish I would but despite having accumulated a wide reserve of cans I got almost saturated after the first one, which is as weird as unusual. Passed over to empty a couple of syrup peaches cans, but didn’t work really as I would hence have a go for ananas.. it worked in the past, (Wang thought the same) let’s give him a chance.... more or less useless... last step is brandy mascarpone cream with biscuits, same as beer couldn’t afford to jump into the bowl and drown in there. One of my flat mate decided a couple of weeks ago that the radio in my room was its own at took it off, maybe it was right, so go to portable CD player which I don’t love really, try with dog on wheels... didn’t work as well. And I could not sleep the only other thing I wish I would have done. There is a puzzling relation to people familiar with rational mechanics, which is dumped quenched oscillation. This is what describes the movement of a point at the border of spring in something which can be considered ‘not an ideal’ situation. i.e. it accounts for friction and the spring is not perfect... well I feel it can describe this kind of a useless pain as well with a certain efficiency... the function when plotted as intensity versus time is like wave which gets smaller and smaller and than, eventually dyes... even if in principle it oscillates forever with a tiny tiny tiny tiny amplitude but still keep going... is this the tiny oscillation on the deepest of the pond? Or just the slash of the stone which generate the waves? Chess players should be the best people around. On the board., the good ones, are said to be able to predict something like 50 or more movements of the opponent. I cannot imagine fare that one or two, that’s why I am an horrible chess player and an ideal partner f you won to win a game. I stop playing. Practising wasn’t making me any better. There is a time to quit things. I guess. If one can’t stay a game better leave it don’t you agree? Very yours Stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: festivities
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 15 May '02

15 May '02

there was a firework display on saturday where people danced with catherine wheels strapped to their backs and 'cool jazz' was played. and i was scared. there was a jim white concert on the first truly beautiful sunday brighton has had this year. there was a fight outside my house. there was a piece in 'seven' magazine about Mum, you know the band featuring the girls featuring on the cover of FYHCYWLAP? there was a very pretty but blurry picture of them too. there will be a picnic/drinking olympics/scrabble tournament in brighton on saturday 25th may which is just *a week and a half away*. could london people be organised again and arrange a sinister express from victoria? could everyone else keep the time 2pm and the place 'train station' in your heads for now? and could you email me if you want more info? amy gives good pastiche, genevieve gives good reporting back. and ken is back home :) luv archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.
