Sinister: i don't want to look like an imaginary dork
by rrrrobyn 15 Sep '02

15 Sep '02

ah, sinister, whoa, check out that comma, its invitating swish, suggestive of oh-i'm-sure great things to come. mm, but yeah, it's possible too that it signals a massive list of more of the same, one big sentence, thesaurus-like in its running on, its over-explanation of what it is exactly that i'm trying to say if only i knew the word for it, dammit. oh, fuckit, i'll go back to the exclamation mark. i'm in montreal! it's faboolous! i've been going through the expected gamut of emotions for the past few weeks and wasn't about to subject the list to that. but now i've been to class, explored the city a bit, met some people, picked up all my stuff from the crazy industrial-area shipping company, and am almost but not quite at all settled in. hurrah! indeed! holy crazy industrial-area shipping company, by the way: so, i shipped my stuff from vancouver to montreal through a shipping company for cheap (b/c i gots the co-nections, yo), wherein one puts all their stuff (which is usually, like, books or engine parts or shampoo or things that are not the contents of robyn's apartment) on pallates/skids and wraps it all in twenty layers of cello-wrap and then puts it on a truck across the country so that when the stuff arrives at its destination it all smells like deisel and cardboard and maybe even a little like roadside diners. one also has to rent a truck to go pick it up. but usually one has some kind of trucking company do that for one b/c one is a company oneself and not robyn who has to rent a 14-ft cube truck and get her friends to help her. so i get to the depot and i'm, like, um, i have three skids to pick up. and they're, like, oooh, three, oooh. but they speak mostly french so it's more like, ooeeoo, trois, ooeeoo. but they were very nice about it really and let me walk around the gigantic warehouse searching out my three skids full of *all my worldly possessions*. i found them easily enough (ah, yes, the the futon frame sticking out of the cello-wrap gave it away.) but the cool thing was that a guy with a handlebar mustache and a jolly chuckle forklifted the skids directly into the truck! no unpacking! only expert forklifting! it made me really want one of those suits that ripley uses at the end of aliens. you know the one. with the forklift arms. (not to mention the welding torch.) then moving would be better. but then everyone would ask me to help them out. i'd be like the friend with the truck, except way more impressive and coooool. so now i have a desk to sit at and a comfortable bed to sleep in. of course, i put the nuts and bolts for my bed frame in the *stupidest spot imaginable though at the time i'm sure it made sense*. they literally were in the very last place i looked, i mean, i thought, "agh, i guess they're gone, that's it, i'm going to home depot in the morning to buy appropriately sized nuts and bolts. hm, oh, look, my big bag of shoes." where else but in my big bag of shoes?! (no, not the small bag of shoes. nor the laundry hamper full of shoes.) as if that would be the first place i'd look, as if somehow my shoes and my bed frame are connected. as if i would be rushing to unpack all my shoes before anything else. no, really, but i obviously had this thought while in a state of packing mania - "i will be living with only three pairs of shoes for two weeks, therefore the first thing i will need when i get my stuff will be a refreshing pair of shoes." holy. crap. i won't get into the wonders of school yet b/c it has barely started. it will be good though. i can tell. hundreds of pages of reading each week, mind you... yes, anyway, *so*, i got to see LE TIGRE again! and it was greatness, of course. the crowd was weirdly sedate, dancing-wise. i say, if the band is dancing, you dance. and if the band is playing 'deceptacon', you dance and hop up and down like a bluddy maniac. do it! do it now! regardless, it was a great show that inspired me to be creative and gutsy and such, and also made me happy to be a girl. whoo! i could go on about things like the metro, my metrocard, the coolness of the metro stations all deep underground but sometimes with windows waaaay up high so you can make *damn well sure* that you are deep underground, how underground transit makes so much sense and is so fast and weirdly comforting, even though people off themselves at least once a week in front of the hurtling trains, causing delays of approximately 20-30 minutes, mostly during rush hour. but yeah, the metro takes you where you want to go. other excited, less mundane news: blonde redhead is coming! they are good live. also sept 26-29 there is something called popmontreal going on, which is all indiepop goodness that causes me to do dances of joy and popitude. the almost instantaneous return of mundane: i bought a kickass screwdriver the other day. i wanna say that it's torque even though i know torque isn't really an adjective, but, man, torque is the new awesome, but with muscle power. dude, i totally put a deadbolt on my door all by myself and it is so *torque!*. and also you could lament as such: "ah, if only everything could be so very very torque..." that's sort of how i've been feeling today. wanting torqueness, but ending up with dorkness. (ooh, sorry, that's terrible. haha.) but hey, it's warranted: i had to restore my computer to its original state, reinstall windows, and *all that time-consuming crap*. it sucked. it made me yell "fucksticks!" more than once. but it's over now. and i still have the shiny new high-speed connection to brighten my mood. and curry, i've got curry too. the way it sometimes is, robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Twee wine
by Mike Richards 14 Sep '02

14 Sep '02

Hello fans, I haven't written for a couple of years because I was too lazy to move from my university email account which I can't send from (at home). I finally bothered to move and wait around for the nursury time to expire (as I was too lazy to say the password). I've managed to stop being as lazy now, sorry about that. This rather lazy summer, I learned how to make wine. This was a sensible thing all round, as a) I drink a quite legendary amount of it. b) I'm not going to fork out £2.50 a bottle damnit. c) My wine tastes nicer than £2.50 bottles. Anyway, I made some wine from those kits you can buy, and they're nice enough. But then I thought: Hey! You can make wine out of just about anything if you add yeast and sugar, and I'm paying £5 for a tin of grape concentrate like a sucker. To cut a long story short I found a recipe for Ribena wine, which involved 300ml Ribena, 3lb sugar, water, yeast, nutrient, Campden etc. It's finished now, and in my fridge in one of those Ribena Fridge jugs. Ironic. It's incredibly sweet, and incredibly strong. I can only really drink 2 glasses a night at the most. Although this is largely due to the sugar content. I recommend anyone with winemaking know how tries to make it, I'll furnish anyone who cares with the recipe. Finally, I hope to drop the whole lethargic thing in time to book my own wedding in June, to which you're invited* as it's a Sinister wedding. There you go. I'll be off then. Right. Nice seeing you. Love, Mike x *Unless you're some sort of crazy person. ----------------- "We've got a blind date with destiny.

Sinister: i saw the world crashing all around your face
by bus stoppers 14 Sep '02

14 Sep '02

dearest home, i have been quite homesick this past month or so that i haven't posted. or read any posts. it was in-between summer school and the fall, so no internet access. withdrawls preceeded the pot and booze. i'm okay now though...but i did miss you and think of you often. how is everyone? i don't really know what to write. nothing new really. just the same old shit. shit, shit, and more shit. that's life though, right? it's what you make of it and i'm going for: fertilizer and maybe a compost heap for everything else that comes along. maybe someday i'll have a healthy, fragile yet firm garden instead of that stench (sp?) that follows you around on the bottom of your shoe... i guess there is something though that i have been thinking about. i miss hugging people. and no. not those little 'hi' and 'goodbye' hugs. the kind that you get to lean into and keep for a still moment. sorry. that was cheese. and yet, full of such sodium and stuff, i really mean it all. i hope this all doesn't sound too whiny because if i were to say it out loud to someone, i don't think it would be whiny...but i am unsure as to how it would read...hmm... the 'one who fucked me up' called me the other night. i hadn't talked to him in a while. i don't know if anyone remembers, but right before new year's this past year, he told me that he never wanted to talk to me or see me EVER again. he made it all very clear, even though my eyes were pretty cloudy. we will call him D for now. D was VERY drunk. it just made D very honest. so maybe it was a good thing too along with just being a....thing. D apologized for hurting me. said he was sorry for the things that he ever said that ever made me cry. said that he still reads my on-line diary to see if i'm okay, because if i'm sad, it makes him sad. if i'm happy, it makes him happy. ect. we actually talked things out (which had, obviously, never happened before) and admitted things and apologized. some might label this as closure? it was just nice. then D made the next wrong step...he asked to see me. he needed to see me, to see how i was doing. he wanted to hold me in his arms and tell me everything is, and will be, okay. i should have known better. i most certainly do now. so everyone. let me hold you in my arms for a lovely moment full of almost quick heartbeats and almost clammy hands. "everything is going to be okay. everything is okay." but, of course. you don't need me to. ..........it's just nice once and while. love, sara xoxoxox ===== all the people'd stare as if we were both quite insane someday my name and his are going to be the same __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: this line is empty for a reason. i just cant remember why.
by owlizthe5＠cs.com 13 Sep '02

13 Sep '02

dear list, i know what your thinking.."great another crappie jaunt about some listee's boring ass life." if that is what your thinking,.... then your right. if that isnt, then you had better start young man/woman. for about oh... two years i havent posted . i think that the last thing i posted was a poem i wrote under my sister's email account, gelflingag(a)juno.com, and not a single reply. hmm. i wonder why. could it be that it was so wonderfully great that every one was in awe of my magnificant talent? probably not. i figured id strech my legs out a bit and do some chitty chatin since ive been sitting in the dark nether regions of the list. god has forsaken me to this horrible corner of the world where television gladly fluants the word "Bush" around and no one realizes how rediculous it sounds. i am also working on a stand up routine with my two friends. we plan to make complete asses out of ourselves by dancing and singing to a CD of music that we have specially prepared for this act. i plan on leaving the country afterwards to save my family from complete embarrassment god bless america. god bless that shit hard. my friend just left for rehab...for the third time. maybe it will finally have some effect on him. you know, since he has a kid and all. i think it would be nice if he could stay off the sauce for more then two days. me and my friend paul(one of two that i will be making an ass of myself with) made a bet tonight. we shall not shave for one full year. this way we look manly instead of geeky. its a futile attempt to attract the opposite sex. that would be...female...no......wait....ladies..hot ones too. so if you ladies are interested in one fiiiiiine rugged man-beast, just give ol' joe an email *wink* and ill be sure to send a picture right quick. i will close with a line from a song i wrote: "My Pa ate poo. My pa ate poo. He ate that poo and he pooed in his poo."

Sinister: a new London TIGERMILKING - Saturday 5th October
by Mark Casarotto 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Whoot, Sinister! I have just booked Bar Oporto in Covent Garden for the next TIGERMILKING, which I hope you'll all be able to come to. If there are any sinisterines who live in or around London who are interested in coming, then the more the merrier - newbies particularly welcome, as it's basically like a private party but also features many of the STARS of the Sinister list! Like Archel! And Stevie Trousers! And Dimitra! (tbc) To recap - Tigermilking is effectively the Sinister in-house club night (slap my wrists if you think that's too presumptuous, Linda), which has been happening, on and off, for the last 3 or 4 years. We have them every 4-6 months, and basically play anything and everything the average B&S fan could possibly like. Unless you like the Stereophonics (shame on you!). So keep your diaries free for Saturday 5th October. We kick off around 8, and it goes on until 1am. Anyone up for (possibly the last) picnic (of the year) beforehand? You know you want to... Further details (directions, prices, music) to be posted anon. Feel free to email me for info, encouragement etc. :) Mark xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Sini-history
by Sam Walton 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hello Sinister. A piece of junk mail arrived in my inbox this morning, urging me to take a peek up some poor girl's skirt or something, and as I clicked delete, I noticed the date. It made me remember that this time last year, Sinister was going mental - I think there were about 70 posts in 24 hours. For those of you who've joined in the last year, and for those who want a memory freshner, have a sini-history lesson: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200109/date3.html http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200109/date2.html We had a minute's silence in the V-Shop Crouch End this afternoon. We were playinng "Amnesiac" by Radiohead over the store PA, the music came off and everything stopped. That was a long minute. "Pyramid Song" broke the silence, beautifully. It gave me a sense of perspective, that minute - what with recent stuff that's happened in my life. But there's not much more I can say. This post is not all doom and despondancy though, for I have an amusing anecdote to relate to you all. Later on in the day, Fran Healy, from the popular rock'n'roll combo Travis, came into the shop to enquire about a certian PC game (we didn't have it). He asked me what was playing on the stereo. "Belle & Sebastian", I cheerily replied, thrusting the box to TWATTYBUS under his nose. "Jangly Scottish pop - you'd like it", I said with a smile, and he grinned past his beard and corduroy flat-cap and walked out. Well it made me smile, anyway. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ 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.
