Sinister: sinister: <no flashy words>
by shanny jean 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

it's a quarter to three in the afternoon. i'm in my pajamas, staring at the computer screen, wishing it was a person. which it isn't. and if it was, i'd probably be irritated. to everyone talking about nothing to do: i live in a sub rural not-quite suburban town in illinois. i live with my parents for the summer. i have a 15 year old sister who hates me with an increased passion each day. i have no pets. i have few friends in town, which i see seldom. i work at a restaurant with angry women who treat me like their own personal b*tch, filling their drinks when i have my own work to do. the only bands that play in town are middle-aged cover bands of music i never cared for. the word culture refers only to the stuff that makes yoghurt grow, and the only thing i do for fun is walk. and you can only walk for so many hours a day before you go crazy. there is very honestly nothing to do. everything closes at 10pm. except the bars. and i'm 20. my boyfriend lives an hour and a half away in a town of 150. they own 3/4 of the computers in their town. there is less to do where he lives. i am very very sad and very angry with summer. i hate it. i am bored. i am lonely. and mom says i need to clean my room. oh life, shannon jean _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Wake up Monday morning, know you've gotta go to school
by Ann Foreyt 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Sinister~ I laid in bed last night and realized I was happy. Not 'just got a new car/new puppy' happy, but really, heart-feltedly happy. How did this happen? I have spent the last 7 years of my life in a depressed-angry funk and all of a sudden, it's gone! I woke up and realized that graduation was over, the tasseled hat on the dresser, the speech spoken and forgotten about, that I would never again have to see those kids who made my life a living hell. Who made the medicine cabinet a lucky charm, to be gazed at in time of need. It's probably temporary, I probably shouldn't be so amazed by it. It'll pass. To the girl (Histrianic??) who wrote about being 16: sorry, hon, if you don't let your attitude take control now, 17 and 18 are going to be just as bad. Sorry. I went through most of high school the same way... then I realized that if you flipped people off and started wearing cool (or in my personal favorite slang, kewl - what's the point? same number of letters, harder to type) hats, they left you alone. That's I think when I first started feeling happier with myself. And I listened to B&S tell me that "you're a star" a few more times. This is not an Idleberry post, and for that I am sorry as they always make me smile. kisses for the boys, hugs for the girls~ Ann PS: has anyone read Stuart David's venture into novel-writing "Nalda Said"? Is it any good? I don't understand the thrill of running, Catching, Throwing, Taking orders from a moron. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The day rose in the East, and started walking
by Gardiner, Stuart 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Oh well, time to start supporting Spain then... For those of you who have been enjoying my recent abscence from the list, sorry, I'm back in the UK now. For those of you who have been missing my contriubutions and my sparkling wit and repartee, you really should get out more. Truth be told, I've spent the last month and a half in Central America (note to Americans on the list: that does not mean Kansas). Diving in Honduras, climbing active vocanoes and ancient temple pyramids in Guatemala, boating down canyons in Mexico, and snorkelling with sharks and stingrays in Belize. And very nice it was too. Anyone who is feeling jealous will be happy to hear that I am currently tired, jetlagged, insect-bitten and feeling very cold at being back in England. True story time. In the villages around San Cristobal in Southern Mexico, Mayan traditions are still followed closely. These used to involve people who went to see the local shamans for help being given an alcoholic maize drink; it made you burp, which is supposed to expel evil spirits from the body. A few years ago, the shamans realised that they could get the same effect much cheaper (and without getting their clients drunk) by giving them CocaCola instead. Before long, Pepsi got in on the act as well (the two drinks are omnipresent in Latin America). So now, the different local shamans are all sponsored by either Coke or Pepsi, to use the appropriate drink in their rituals. The final results of the beer quality table: 1st - Belikin, Belize (quite a bit of flavour, almost tasted like an English beer) 2nd - Port Royale, Honduras (very refreshing in the heat by day, and alarmingly intoxicating by night) 3rd - Gallo, Guatemala (a bit too watery) 4th - Corona, Mexico (the only flavour comes from the bit of lime you stick in the top) 5th - Budweiser, USA (obviously) Looking forward to meeting up with friends tonight and having proper beer from a proper pint glass at last. The other debate was which was worse: catching a local bus in Guatemala, with 75 other people (believe me, I counted once) on an old US school bus that was obviously built in the times before the invention of suspension; or trying to change planes in Miami airport, encountering the unhelpfulness and sheer incompetence of both the staff and the people who tell them what to do. In a vain attempt to add a bit of content, I notice that since I've been away, B&S have managed to release an album, lose a band member and drop their record label. Not bad going. Still, their fame is growing all the time - I walked into a bar one night on an island off the coast of Honduras to hear IYFS playing over the speakers... Spotted in the newspaper yesterday: The Court of Appeal in London has ruled that a sacked postman who sent his request for an industrial tribunal by first-class mail was wrong to expect it to arrive the next day. Don't you just love this country?

Sinister: Jonathan and the Major dream of horses
by Sunny set 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

On a pale blue morning, I went up to the country park and hung around till after dark. I could see the mountains on the other side of the river from here disappear from sight because the snow was falling. There's nobody else around,no one knows me but in a town so small there's no escape from view I want a drink of whisky, that makes a lonely one less cold, so I go up the town and feel the city air rush past my body. I missed the bus and when you're on your own, it's a long walk home I've got my mobile phone, and end up calling my girl: - Are you coming or are you not? We can kiss and whatever you want - I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do, I won't be coming - How are you feeling? Are you ok now? where did you go wrong? - I've been feeling down,I'll admit, but it's not so bad, I'll be fine -I was confounded by you on that sunny day. Please tell someone all the truth before it kills you, you never show it,its like getting blood out of a stone, you smile even though you feel like crying. - It may be bolder this time, but it doesn't matter what I'm thinking, I am stupid and blind and I could only make you cry telling the truth. - Could we please be objective? Yeah you're worth the trouble and you're worth the pain, dont hang your head in shame when I was young you were the only fun in town, My darling, we always have a laugh, you used to make me smile when I was down, you were there in the beginning With a star upon your shoulder lighting up a path that you walk. -you put me to shame now. I've seen a pattern emerge, You're always looking for a sign, and you love like nobody around you, but you know, we don't stand a chance. -It's time to take a holiday, Wouldn't you like to get away? It's bound to be less boring than looking at the working week. Maybe things will look better there. If you want me I'll be there - I'm lucky,everything will be fine, me and you for evermore I shut my eyes, It's getting cold, I'll catch the bus across the city and watch the colours change into green and gold Sorry for that nonsense!

Sinister: Le Pastiche de les Brasiliens
by Fernando Brito 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Seaman's Crying Seaman's crying - he's not lonely I caught a glimpse of people's face It was everyone just crying Half a world away Anticipate the plane For 23 poor men They'll be coming so sooner My thoughts are flying away I'm laughing on this day South Korea's great I think they'd better stay Where has gone their fame? Where has gone their fortune? Tokio to LA - and then going back to London How will people receive him? Will they throw eggs on the team? "Seaman bring the cup to me!!!" Instrumental I heard Ronaldo went well But Beckham's a jackass And Rivaldo he's just stunning He runs like he was supersonic Seaman's crying - sorry we beat you Have a nice flight home It's a shame that you're still crying *** Sorry, guys! I REALLY thought England would win the cup!

Sinister: It ain't coca-cola, it's rice
by Matthew Henderson 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Have I used that subject line before? I don't care, it's in my head. I love reading these posts from the British sinisters. "Oh, we're going to see the Moldy Peaches", "I saw MUM the other night", "let's go see the Clientele if we have NOTHING BETTER TO DO." Okay, those weren't exact quotations, but it must be nice. This is the best I can do: "Oh, Jethro Tull is playing in a casino 45 minutes away. I wonder how much of Aqualung he is going to play!" You lucky bastards don't know how good you got it. I got the new Looper album. Hmm. It seems kind of the same the whole way though. Has our own ex-belle lost it? Some might ask (oh-so-cleverly) "did he ever have it?" I deplore you to listen to his last few albums. "These Things" and "Mondo '77" were excellent. Nothing like those on this new one so far. Still, "fucking around" is a nice song. I can't stand it when there is only one song in my head and only one song I want to listen to, and it's in my car. I don't want to walk out there and get it! Maybe this Hives album I've barely listened to will suffice... Do you ever just feel like giving up? What do you in such a case? Also, how can one person not be happy when they bring so much joy to another's life? Okay kids, I've decided to stop. -Matt P.S. The Hives was a mistake. I think Arab Strap will do the trick... _________________________________________________________________ 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: as long as it's talking with you, talk of the weather will do.
by lindsey baker 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

hello sinister. so i caved to the burgeoning trend creeping around the sinister edges of our little group and made a blog. *misslou winces* have dunnit. writtin it every day, shockingly enough. i remember my post here about diary entries. feel the same way again when you go to http://therulesofthegame.blogspot.com. i also wrote a less-than-glowing review of storytelling. feel like kicking me again and again with those boots they wore in a clockwork orange -- or not -- when you go to http://www.dailynebraskan.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2002/06/20/3d11c88d85cfc. many thanks to big (or should i say 'blog') gay mark for his help on both of the above. if you see him in the real live steaming flesh, give him a hug or some household prettying products or something for me. that said. the informational portion of my post has come to an end. *** last night, at the risk of dirtying myself, i knelt on the floor of the coffee shop so as to be level with austin's head as i told him about the decision i had made. and he smiled, showing his surprisingly charming, gappy teeth, celebratory. half an hour later i changed my mind, and he said he would be disappointed. but i think maybe it's just easier to stop something than keep it going, stop worrying and fussing and imagining things to imagine when lying in the arms of someone somewhere in a different nuance than to sit on a thin sheet on a futon at night, thinking so hard parts of my body become dead. or dying. at the expense of keeping the heart racing. with shreds of illusionary crushing. and certianly an ending is better than a pending, better than sitting across from someone and saying to him, 'we need to talk.' *** when i went for the interview yesterday, the editor gave me books. books of poets the press published. books of poems of poets that i'll be editing, now: a twenty-year-old snippet slash nebraska farm girl stigma telling a writer that his usage of 'fucking' might be better off as 'cock sucking,' knowing that on a good day she might write something half as worthy of being edited. inside one of the books was a dead spider. its body had been crushed between the pages, and all of the legs, remarkably enough, were intact and attached to the little round body. it was brown and undeniably crackly in its permanent state of repose, and i didn't touch it. i was a little taken aback, actually, and for some reason i wanted to skip over all the words and just look at the preservation of death. when i kill spiders -- or anything else -- the corpse is never so neatly justified. when i am old and living alone with my draft and backlog of stories of life and writers and the eight-sided affair i had when twenty, i want a row of books on a shelf. and in one of those books, i want a spider, pressed between pages like a flower. *** ken chu said something so nice to me this week, i cried. love, lou xxx ------------------ THE FOLLOWING IS AN ADVERT FOR EXCELLENCE: never learned how to ride a bike? merely flailed helplessy in a chlorine-laced pool when trying to learn to swim? come to Camp Kids Who Gave Up 2002, sponsored by lindsey baker, dave snyder and conor oberst to learn to ride and swim like nobody's business! while you're temporarily residing on our beautiful, secluded island paradise camp, enjoy lessons from friendly guest instructors such as mandee wright and listen to a different live band every night (we feature saddle creek gems and omaha rapists)! dating lindsey is also an available option, so long as conor is off-island.

Sinister: Babylove
by Katia913＠aol.com 20 Jun '02

Dear Sinister, Its hard to find wheat bread made without honey. Have any of you ever noticed that? I've been sitting in the sun all morning, my dog running back and forth playing underneath the bushes. He's a really funny little dog. I find myself having kind of wierd dreams lately. Last night I had a dream about this boy im dating and his mother and I in the back of his pick up truck with Belle and Sebastian on radio. We were going to see a kids movie, something with a character like barney, and B&S had done the soundtrack. It was funny because I was getting really excited about it and they both were telling me to "Shut it!" I guess its not that amusing, or maybe it is... The night before I had a dream that i was on 90210 with my best friend and we both got shot in the bathroom of that highschool... Wierd... I went to a show with a teacher from school, the Doves are really goodin person, they have a nice keyboard. Yeah well... On TV they are talking about terrorism at the taste of Chicago, really we aren;t that popular... Or are we.
