Sinister: ink polaroid sunday
by Alex Goffey 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hello Sinister... The ink polaroid weekend was a great idea, certainly gave me an excuse to haul out my little polaroid camera and actually go out. The fruits of my efforts can be seen/read here: http://www.geocities.com/veruca_salt_97/inkpolaroid.html And it all fit together perfectly when we encountered Belle & Sebastian being played as we walked back to catch our train. Since we had time to spare we both ran around, dancing and singing along to 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'. I love rainy days and I love being a uni student on holidays on rainy days. The perfect excuse to sleep in and read and make mix tapes. If I didn't have to work for three and a half bloody hours this afternoon, all would be perfect. xox alex ===================================== 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: 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.

I for one think astrid had a brilliant idea for pen pals. If I was as organized as laura llew or gayjay maybe I would even start a pen pal chain or something. Anyone? angela _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 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: Nominate Sam!
by Mark Hester 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi everyone, First up, belated thanks to Maddie and Anakin Sky for their comments about the bands I mentioned in my last post. In the event I didnt go to The Spitz to see Of Montreal last night on account of the work do, of which more later. Many of you will be familiar with the term troll to refer to someone who goes onto message boards and stirs things up among the regular contributors, usually by posting hostile and abusive messages. I dont think that its a particularly appropriate monicker; conjuring up the burly unattractive characters that turn up in the works of Tolkien and Rowling, or who lurk about under bridges salivating at the thought of a caprine bill of fare. But a message board I post to regularly has recently been plagued by a troll, whom I misjudged totally to begin with, not least because she invented a slang term for bottom which made me LOL. So I started engaging in what began as harmless banter, or verbal sparring if you will. In so doing, I encouraged the troll, who became more vitriolic and abusive and upset quite a few people. Now Im feeling really guilty that I did not see the person for what she was and that I hadnt tried to be witty in my responses (most of the time I ended up just being puerile, anyway). I fear that I may have annoyed quite a few people by not ignoring the troll and that there may be a few people on the board who strongly dislike me now as a result. Although Ive posted a couple of times on really innocuous uncontroversial topics since the incident, Im a lot less sure of my ground and I am very wary of engaging people in conversation over boards now. So anyway, I dont often reveal very much of what Im thinking to you guys, playing my cards quite close to my chest and being quite shallow perhaps, but its really nice to be able to share something like that with the good folk of sinister, where I feel a lot more sure of myself and where everyone is far more friendly. My girlfriend has recently become very keen on ice skating. Now you may think that ice skating is one of those things that *everyone* has done, like riding a bike or going on holiday, but I have to admit that I have never actually skated. I remember when I was on a sixth form Geography field trip my teacher referred to one of my peers as being "as sure footed as a one-legged mountain goat" as he watched the poor blokes attempts to cross a Welsh mountain stream. Even though I wasnt the target that time the remark could equally have been directed at me. Things have if anything got worse in the ensuing years. From what Emma was saying she appears to be on a one-woman crusade to keep the Oxford ice-rink open, as its up the creek financially. If it does close, I hope they dont demolish the building, as the architecture is rather striking, looking rather like a ship with its masts and cables resembling rigging. Yesterday we had our grand opening party at work. A little late, seeing as the building opened at the beginning of the month, but never mind. The office closed for work purposes at 3.30 and I suppose the party went on for a couple of hours. The food was absolutely fantastic, though most people in my department were shrinking violets and didnt actually venture forth from our place on the top floor to sample any. One of the managers was just offering me some of his home-made rhubarb wine when our department made its collective decision to slope off to the pub next door. As there were no clean glasses and I was hardly going to swig from the bottle I declined perhaps I had a lucky escape. Top marks on the Unsubtlety Front goes to the colleague who walked Straight Out Of The Front Door And On To The Pub whilst the top brass were still making their speeches. After the pub and another one we wound up at the Wheatsheaf (the music venue upstairs was packed to fire-regulation bursting point) to see the ok-ish, but appallingly named Pokey and the surprisingly good Transmission. I think the Trans word led to a discussion of the Zodiac indie night Transformation, which apparently was already called that in 1994. I wonder which club night in the country has been going the longest under the same name? Answers on the back of a flyer, please. Wow, Sam Walton: TV Star! Its hard to believe that William G. Stalwart also thought up The Price Is Right. This is true versatilityhe bestrides the gameshow world like a Collossus, with the cerebral at his left foot and the banal at his right. Do you think people are either Countdown or Fifteen to One people, like you get dog people and cat people? Rosamund Iorns, ex- of this parish and employee of the big uni based publishing house that supplies the people for Dictionary Corner, once told me that shed "sooner have pins put in her eyes than go on Countdown", but maybe shed prefer to answer questions. Or nominate. Archel wrote: "Which means that it will NOT rain, snow or spew bizarre jizz from the sea." etc, which made me wonder whether therell be anything left of the West pier by the time of the picnic. There used to be a band called Westpier quite good as I recall. And no Im not getting confused with Westlife. So Radiohead think they have *swagger*, do they?

Sinister: Frolicks
by Sam Walton 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hello Sinister I got up deliberately early this morning and drove about 20 miles away from York into the dales to go sledging. I havent had that much fun for quite a while. Indeed, this white carpet which seems to have engulfed the country over the last couple of days has put a permanent smile on my face; theres definitely something about the crunch under foot, numb ears and the feel of a snowball walloping you in the back of the head that just puts a grin on my face. Some random slanted field in the middle of nowhere was our playground this morning. When we arrived there was about 6 inches of absolutely untouched fine alpine snow. We soon changed that. As we parked the car, somebody described the show as pure, but I didnt dare refer to B&S. We frolicked until we froze, and my shoes are still wet now. As the snow continues to fall, plans are afoot to do the same tomorrow. I thought I was Going To Be Ill as I wrote my last post, but the cold that was threatening to strike me down never quite came to fruition (though I suspect my child-like enthusiasm for the current weather wont do me much good). So on Wednesday I went down to London to film my Fifteen-to-One show. All you really need to know is that I will be On The Telly on 20th February, at 3:45pm on C4. If youve ever wanted to know what I look like, Im number five. And that badge on my jumper? Yes, youre right. The Book Group, which I hyped so recklessly in my last post, failed to impress last Friday. Im sorry for the bum tip. Trust me, the first series, and even tonights episode was better than last weeks. I shall persevere.
