Although I didn't die in my dream, i just slit my wrists. then i soaked them in milk and felt very relaxed. weird eh? it wasn't really a nightmare as it wasn't at all scarey. just a little strange. any dream analysts out there? the night before last i had a wonderful, but impossible, dream. i was at a nick drake concert, and saw him play pink moon and time has told me, plus he covered mayfly. nick drake covering belle and sebastian! how brilliant is that. if only all dreams could be like that. when is someone going to invent a dream recorder? by the way, nick is quite good live. not much crowd interaction though. Has anyone else had dreams of concerts? Now to the subject of this post. I'm on holidays and bored and have lots of spare time. So may I present.....................................

Sinister: i've driven in the dark with echoes in my heart
by rrrrobyn 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

sinister! ohmygod, blow-by-blow descriptions of the queue for Model Behaviour! how brilliant is miss marianna?! she is all class, but so very hott&nasty too. (and david foster wallace certain *does* kick ass. but does he *lately*? discuss.) watching the footage of the queue and auditions for Popstars (canadian version, bien sur) was one of my favourite parts of that show. so painful, so elating, so entertaining. there's something to be said for getting to watch emotion that you don't have to participate in. the whole actual and for real 'dealing with emotions' thing can really be draining. (i'm mostly being facetious here. but, as usual, not entirely.) the other night i finally saw the buffy musical episode. i fell off the couch in amazement and didn't move until a commercial break. that is how good it was. the floor was cold and hard. cold and hard like, oh ferget it. i finally bought the new wilco album 'yankee foxtrot hotel' (which is the greatest title ever if you listen to the album with it's radio code voice saying those words. yeah!) it's a fabulous album (i put it in my work bag today with some other cds and thought 'y'know, robyn, you're really only going to listen to that album today so why bring all the others?' and i was right) and it completely appeals to the small parts of me that are, in no particular order: hopelessly romantic, depressed and wallowing in it, foolish. but really, a good mix of things though. i'm a sucker for the mixed emotion, me. no, that's not true. i mostly like it cut and dried and conveniently pre-wrapped in cellophane with a big huge label declaring things like: 'happy!', 'sad!', 'love!', 'unadulterated pleasure!', 'depressed with reason!', 'rad!', the list goes on. of course it does. i guess emotion is kind of sold to us on many levels anyway 'these days', so this isn't as figurative as i'd like it to be. or perhaps would not like it to be. am i supposed to sigh at this point? i have no idea. i also have the new (to me) sodastream 'the hill for company' (which is so very sodastream and therefore makes me happy) and the new russian futurists (which is only 27 minutes long, but a-okay!). also, now i have no money! hahaha. i actually went to the record store with the *express purpose* of buying mum tickets but they did not have them in yet and then i looked at the new music wall and there were all these things! and also! vilkas is my new hero. i've never met the girl, but she is *great* and rawks and should form a 'flirty-yet-somehow-shy' group with me and a bunch of other sinister girls (i'm sure you know who you are, yeah). i don't know what this group would accomplish, but ideas are fun to share, so there you go. maybe we will all just do what we do and rock our respective houses. it's called rawkin' the haus, yo. and, perhaps lastly, if only b/c i didn't know where to put this paragraph: this whole weblog thing is worrying me. in a way i want one and think it's cool and admire a lot of weblogs out there (even though i feel all weird and voyeuristic, but that's an issue for another email), but in another way, i so totally do not want one. i think that maybe if i wrote it from the perspective of something inanimate then it might be okay. but okay, anyway, why oh why oh why did it have to be shortened down to 'blog'?! it's totally criminal. does that word not just sound awful? i don't even want to say it out loud. it has no grace. the 'b' with 'log', it's just not a nice combination. and, really, 'weblog' is only one more measly syllable. long live syllables! in a multi way! um. that said. happy 4th of july to all you 'mericans! and have a fun glasgow picnic to all you people over there of various nationalities! robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!

Sinister: haikus revealed // weeks twentyfive // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

Subject: Sinister: I want to be the girl who sings the Lotto song.. I decided to sit outside in the Famous Cock's (ahem) garden. If Your Parents Had No Children, Neither Will You". Can't argue with that. Paul, Greg, Stefano and a Man in Black who was neither Smith nor Jones. There were also quite a few mirrors which was a bit disconcerting. There was some Lloyd Cole too, but no Pinefox to appreciate it. Officer gave them a few fair warnings about their behaviour. I went in, and met Miss Clark. I can tell you, I hated that woman. And she grabbed my foot, and pushed my toes together, and roared "POINT!" at me. So my parents would drive me through to Hamilton, twice a week, to dance. I spluttered on the smell of her cigarettes and could barely breathe. Hum, sorry it's a bit boring. That's what being skint will do for you. El Presidente and build her a palace and/or a big bronze statue. Such sallies and swoons. A starling flock. A total eclipse of the moon. I got back into in my house. It may not run; but it'll stay locked. The way it's shot and the way it's projected; it's like you're there almost. Someone then went and got a *big-ass* bottle of tequila. Awww shit. The hard house bit? Hey Matthew Henderson. I like both Phish and the Clash. I love to talk to people. I don't care if I don't know them either. Airplane's White Rabbit is playing very loudly over the wide aisles. I will send you a few. Thing is, you'd have to tell me where you stuck them. Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt Cunt. It really didn't have a very good effect on my memory. Also. cos I'm not jealous in the slightest. It was a darn good wank. NOW all he had to do was talk dirty, and you're over excited. If you see me, cross the road and avoid me for the next week or so. I don't know if the above is true, but thought I'd write it anyway. // ee // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

I must say I grilled dem steaks to perfection (for those of you out there who are married to the carrot, just pretend I said something made out of soy) many 40oz's of OE and blunts were enjoyed by all.

Sinister: you can hurt yourself if you drink the milk before smelling theplasticcontainer
by hannah brown 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

hello hm, so i've been sat here for about a minute staring at "hello" and thinking, shit, maybe thats all i want to say but it's not. I went into town today to buy a book, unfortunatly the route i took meant walking past two record shops, so i bought some (obviously). Amongst them was "f# a#00" by GSYBE and it was wonderful, it had lots of interesting things to read and came with a canadian penny that had apparently been squished slightly by a passing train (well, either this or banshed by a big machine in a factory, but i am willing to pretend that it was a train). It was sort of exciting and fun to find a little coin inside and i wondered why it wasnt done more often? Has anyone seen what Twisted Nerve are doing? If you go on their site they tell you about a great little scheme they've got going that is cool and rather expensive, yey! As of september they are releasing a 45" record a month, for 12 months, it is DEAD exclusive and will feature different bands each month, The deal is that you have to pay £50-£60 for the whole subscription. Now, i don't usually confess to being a consumer whore but on this occasion i admit that i have been drawn in quite heavily and am gonna start saving me pennies now, coz I WANT THOSE RECORDS! If anyone would like to donate some money to the "FEED A CONSUMER WHORE FUND" it would be very much appreciated and you will recieve a badge and a monthly update on what i have been spending it on and how it is improving my quality of life, thanks. Ok, im off to our local, musical supermarket where they play gabrielle, linol richie and such love hannahXXXXXX ps, i want to go to an idleberry picnic but live too many pennies away, sniff _________________________________________________________________ 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: The Model with those tragic flares
by therapy.services＠uclh.org 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

With regards to Big Brother, Michael Grant said: "so I shall continue to judge them and laugh at them and shout hateful slogans at them. That's the point of the show." That's the point of life, surely? So in the spirit of pointing and laughing at others, I set out to meet my partner in crime, Mr Greg Pallis, and head down to the auditions for Model Behaviour (reality tv in the vein of popstars for those not familiar), in order to revel in the sheer insanity of it all, and perhaps spread rumours about the prettiest girls having botox injections and shagging the cameramen for screen time. But of course G, no doubt far too busy admiring his eerie resemblance to James Franco in the mirror, was FIVE HOURS LATE. Luckily, being a lady of resource, I had plenty to amuse me. From the tap dancing girl with THE BIGGEST jean wedgie in the world, to the break dancing, camera hogging drama school graduates, to the hordes of Denise Van Outen wannabes, toppling over on their cork platform shoes whilst trying to justify wearing a 'belt? No, skirt' on a rainy London morning. "Good thing about the cold, it keeps your nipples pert." A quick tour of the queue turned into a mammoth hike around Blackfriars as it stretched down the street, around the corner, down that street, around another corner and down a tunnel, and I'm happy to say that after receiving numerous "you don't stand a chance against me bi-atch!" looks from the Topshop brigade, I joined the queue. For two seconds. And the I legged it across the street to hang out with an assortment of sleazoids who were ogling laydee's bootie. Naturally inclined to eavesdrop, the slobbering letches were disappointingly keeping shctum. Most likely too busy filing images away in their spank bank to discuss the merits of reality television shows and their pop cultural importance. Although two P Diddy wannabes casually repeated "hott", "nasty", "nasty", "hott" for a few minutes. They were class. And being a classy gal, I joined in on the ogling par-tay and scrutinised the queue, hoping to find sexy hunks of man meat who would be worthy enough of my crush of the day. This was more difficult than I thought as, being the type of girl who'd rather not have people noticing her jaw drop to the ground, I would need a suitable disguise and alas, the fake moustache and glasses were at home. Happily, some magazine reps were handing out free copies of Glamour magazine, which I cleverly placed in front of my face in true old-skool hideout stylee. Eyes peering over the edge, I scanned the crowd for a mod dreamboat, or a refined gentleman, or even a baller with his pockets full grown. Rather disappointingly, there seemed to be only two types of boys in the line. Those who looked like they were auditioning for East 17 circa 1993 and those who looked like they were auditioning for a Blue tribute act. Two tribes which certainly don't take my fancy. Firstly because I hate anything related to East 17 (old Take That obsessions die hard), and secondly because, well because they look like Blue and middle-aged men with a Shoreditch Mullet/Hoxton Fin (delete as appropriate) are simply the pants. So it looks like my Simon Pegg stalker status shall remain intact. Facing the reality that my bohunkless situation was not going to improve, I made like Young MC and busted a move, high-tailing it to the Thames for a quick stroll along the Southbank, which is still one of my favourite things ever to do in London. But the possibility of seeing a blonde, arrogant and extremely short judge destroying the dreams of the youth was too much to resist. And as Mr Pallis had arrived, it was back to Model B for auditions a-go-go. But of course, on return, the queue had damn well closed, destroying all hopes of doing catalogue work for Argos. Still, the day was saved when I was treated to an impromptu 'David Foster Wallace kicks ass' lecture and Spiderman watchage. Both of which were ace. xx Miss Marianna Longmire +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I was born under a wanderin' star...
by idleberry 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

I know I've posted already, but you've been good, so I thought I'd reward you with another in ooh, under 24 hours. Plus, this is for the non picnic goers, who I guess are sitting there thinking "god, why can't I go to one of idleberry's picnics? [not realising this is the first i've sort of made noises about beforehand- I don't think "organise" is the correct term here] its not fair!". I know you're hurting. This post is dedicated to you. well, unfortunately, I'm going to have to pre empt myself and apologise. someone on the list has been draining me, not in a bad way nor intentionally. But draining me. And all my best thoughts (the ones which I mentally memo "save this idea for later, for sinister") are given to this person, and now, when i sit here, I know two things: a. I can't write it again, I'll get bored of myself if i do; b. I could never write it as well as i think i did; c. who really wants second hand posts? But I'm in the "writing" mood. THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING HORRIBLY WRONG. well, I had a cool plan for friday. and now its cancelled. And I'm gutted Gordon isn't joining us on Saturday, and instead has taken a better offer. I didn't realise there could *be* a better offer, but I shall have to hire someone else to be my wall, should i need to check my reflection. I am really upset by all of this. I'm getting my hair cut on Friday morning, and I'm desperate (read: very desperate) for someone to see me who isn't related to me and tell me just how cool I look. I even bought new clothes at the weekend, and I new handbag, which I lay in my bed, gazing at it next to me, stroking its cool bits, and thinking "I need a car to go with my new handbag". Just stroking- nothing kinky. I guess if you don't do that, it might sound a bit odd. I just find it ver difficult to find material possessions I really like a lot. And when it comes to certain things, I get really happy about finding them. I think last year, I had �25 in my bank account, and nothing more. I had no money for anything. So I bought a new handbag, and phoned my dad for a lift home. It was either that or pay for the train, and really, this handbag last year was cool. I'd walked around for days, imagining what this handbag would be like. And then one day in May this year, I had overfilled it with guitar stuff, and the strap broke, and I was gutted. Besides which, it was a pain carrying my broken bag and my guitar around on buses and such. So it was bye bye old handbag, buy buy new handbag. ITS JUST NOT TRUE Bourjois Coup de Theatre mascara doesn't lengthen at all. Its not true. It doesn't work. I've paid over �8 for something that doesn't work. Pfft. I'm going back to my old brand. Loreal, forgive me. I like bourois lipgloss and eyeshadow, bu not their mascara, I have decided. Still, it does look like a magic wand, and thats kind of cool. Why can't good products be in cool packaging? I'm such a sucker for packaging. Oooh! shiny! ooh! japanese style cartoons on it! ooh! funny french formula words! ooh! nice carboard boxes and little clips and things that make it like a little secret locket like when i was a kid and wanted to find princess treasure or whatever! ooh! the words "Salon tested".. its got to improve my life, help me loose weight and become startlingly gorgeous, and have paparazzi follow me and beauty editors writing page features called "Steal her look" with photos of ME all over it! I wish the things I do use and that are very good were more imaginative and excitingly packaged. Take Toni and Guy shampoo- in the squishy kwenchy kup/ blood transfusion style packs- that is soo much cooler than Pantene Pro V. Its also twice the price. And its not nearly as good. But Pantene pro v bottles are so boring. I want something that has like, half a bottles worth of PR; a box (and it better be good quality cardboard too): and something that sounds as if its so expensive, its the most incredible luxury you could indulge yourself in. If i wanted a bog standard white bottle with like two lines of "it cleans your hair" type promoting, I'd have a sex change. NOT SAYING BLOKES CAN'T APPRECIATE SPARKLY EXCITING THINGS. but *most* blokes I know just use whatever shampoo happens to be in the bathroom at the time, or whatever their mum/dad uses without thinking too much about it. Pantene Pro V bottles are like the company car family saloons of the shampoo world, to me. Your ford mondeos, or your vauxhalls. And I like cars with character: like fiat 500s, and MX-5s, and Saab 900s, and the new clio. And I like shampoo bottles with character too. talking of fiat 500s... the reason I've started thinking about the fiat 500 is this: * I went to my pal Susan's flat in Denistoun in glasgow a few weeks ago. * She was playing Lush, the album with "Shake Baby Shake" on it, and I vaguely remember that being about the fiat 500.And its a catchy song. *And now when I go through to Edinburgh, on the train, and go past Dalry and Gorgie, theres a lane on the left hand side of the track, and theres a row of nice town houses/ flats. And they face the bank of the train track, and theres this iron wrought fence. And theres always a little fiat 500 sitting there, next to the iron fence, at the top of the bank above the train track. An I just think about it sometimes, and I always look out for it, as if I need to say hello. Today was different though. Today I made a man laugh, and that felt good. I was sitting on the train, chatting to Jonesy, an old school pal of mine. I came to the conclusion, life would be far more interesting, if, as an administrator,I could file things in multi coloured folders, and start a new folder following the sequence of the colours of the rainbow. Of course, if i did that at the parliament, the country would be in a certain degree of chaos and you know, things might go wrong and nothing would work properly and stuff. So its as well I don't. But i thought, well, you know, wouldn't it be lovely to be a temp and walk into an office where everything was filed by colour? how colourful that office would be. Nobody would feel down in the dumps, surely, in a rainbow office? And you'd feel happier. And it would be so much easier to know what to fil things under. Anyway, while I was suggesting this, and Jonesy looking vaguely panic stricken about it, I noticed some houses next to Haymarket. Their back garden looks onto the train track, and its an old tennemant block. And its on the left side too. I love looking in the windows of it. Theres one window, with about three rows high of CDs, and I often wonder who lives there and what CDs they are. They must be an interesting person though, to be interested in music. Unless its geek boy computer games. Anyway, I sort of said out loud: "I love looking into peoples windows, I know its rude..." and one of the other commuters heard me, this balding man in a suit and tie, sitting typing something on his laptop. And he just burst out laughing. And that was cool. Cos he said "I know exactly what you mean". Which hopefully he means to those little peeping tom moments into peoples omes from the train, rather than literally, a scary sort of peeping tom thing. Jonesy and me giggled to each other, and wondered what else people had listened to. Cos we talk pretty frankly, me and jonesy, about everything. And we forget other people are there, or aware of us discussing the things we think of. Like Jonesy telling me his German mistake. He took a tour of german exchamge students round dynamic earth last year and tried to impress them about going through 13 million years.. but instead of "going through", he said "durchfall" which means diaorehea in german, and they were in hysterics apparently, of 13 million years of it. So Jonesy left the foreign languages to them. now I've run out of things to say, but I hope its ok. see you at the picnic if i see you, if not, don't worry, gordon isn't going now so it won't be very good really.
