Hello Sinister I found sleeping with mice and having mice in my pants in france to be a rather eye opening experience. I did have mice in my pants, and in my t shirt and in my dress. In fact, they went through my whole wardrobe, and I'm convinced they nibbled my new vest top too. I was staying in France, on holiday, in an old house in the south. Apart from having mice in my pants (new cars in my driveway are like, sooo last month, darlings) it was generally a fantastic holiday. The lizards were cute, and throughout the two week fortnight I never grew tired of christening them Eddie or Minelli, such is the simplicity of my humour, and possibly, my intelligence. I am very distressed however, on two accounts, to return, and find that: 1. I have totally forgotten the clever password I changed my other email account to (it used to be tigermilk, and then i thought I should change it, so I did and I can't remember what I changed it to); 2. Nobody has any gossip. Number 1 is an irritant, but number 2 is really irritating. I find it hard to believe, that nobody has been snogging anyone during a drunken cliched clinch, and therefore, I have nothing to indulge in my, otherwise languid, tonguewagging. And Mark Casarotto .. so, more trips to the US than *insert witty comparrison here*... methinks he has either won the lottery, or been doing bank raids round old London town, in a rather fetchingly stylish Bonnie'n'Clyde way that only Mark could get away with, possibly dressed as Bonnie, donning an "I am not gay" badge. I was rather bemused to discover that there were no shops in Toulouse or Bordeaux that met my approval nor inspired me to spend money like it was going out of fashion, certainly none that I discovered that didn't make me feel like I was wandering around Wallis. I had expected to spend a small fortune in France, and even left space in my suitcase for all my new purchases. Instead, it is nearly the end of the month and I have money left and it is a bit of a bewildering new experience. Instead, in the evenings, despite the temperature being between 30 and 42 degrees, I fantastised about being 12lbs slimmer, and shopping in the autumn for wool mix black pinafores in flirty mid-thigh length skirts, and long sleeved turtle neck tops (in this particular fantasy, they suit me) and semi-opaque tights and heels with straps round the ankles, and glistening shiny hair, and lady-like 60's handbags. And now I'm home, and back to work, and its all so dull, dull, dull. Please fill the void with gossip.

Sinister: Nice Day For A Nap...
by Kimberly Girton 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

THE CITY LEFT YOU ALL ALONE Well, MidAtlantic Sinisterees, looks like the weekend of August 23rd for picnicking is no good for some of you, so shall we try September 6 or 7? I know it's a quite a bit from now, but for the sake of proper planning, humor me. Perhaps we could have a really good gathering if we can all plan ahead enough to make it. That would be the right sort of turnout, wouldn't it? We can't have our first-in-a-while Picnic Attempt be a disaster. I think I would cry. I had my heart set on tossing snack foods at passers-by... AND YOU'RE FILLING YOUR FAT FACE... Speaking of buttery popcorn, The Austin Tourism Bureau sent one of those tins with three kinds of popcorn to our office today. As if we all don't already have a grand case of the antsies, now they want to feed us sugar and other useless energy sources. Because that'll make cubicle life THAT much more tolerable. That caramel popcorn will be the death of me. Sweet, sweet death, but death nonetheless. INCH FOR INCH AND POUND FOR POUND For the record, and I know this is going back a ways in emails, but I don't think girls are generally crap at all. Allow me to throw my proverbial "speak for yourself" down from the debate podium. I have plenty of hobbies that do not include making myself "pretty." In fact, most are based on making a complete ass of myself, but that still counts as "not crap." And there stands my vague rebuttal, as the fervor with which I rebuked the statement when I first read the email has subsided to a dull repetition of, "I disagree, but whatever..." in my head, as most overworked, underpaid Yankee heads will do. That being said I again take my leave and hopefully will hear from the Mid-Atlantic Picnickers about what weekend is best for all of us... Take care all, ~ Kim _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: if you don't know me, and don't care
by Tamra Ann Thomas 20 Jul '03

20 Jul '03

pretend for a moment that you do. i got off of work at 11:30 this evening. i then went to a stale party where everyone was drunk and leaving. a few souls thought it a good idea to drive home. i don't think anyone died. i proceeded to spend the next two hours hanging out with my old crush who turned me down three months ago. i didn't think that the pain that i felt then could get worse. oh yeah. it just got worse. my best friend called me to tell me that he ran into my ex-boyfriend who dumped me over the phone three weeks ago (ok, it was a short relationship, but over the fucking phone? really.). yeah. now i have to go to bed and wake up in three hours to go back to work. (seven in the morning, do the math, it hurts) i think that my life a little sad, at least for the next twelve hours, and the last six prior to this email of rants to people who don't care. (most likely) i am going to dream of horses. tammy. there is no silver lining on a mushroom cloud-ny times ps, ummmm. how about something fun on the west coast of the us for a sinister gathering? like, something near seattle? i don't know. we can throw things at the people from the top of the space needle. it almost makes the nine dollars that you have to pay to get up there worth it. email me if anyone is interested, or it anyone is in the area. i know that there is at least one other seattle sinister out there. i am not so whiney in person. well, most of the time. _______________________________________________ Express Yourself - Share Your Mood in Emails!

Sinister: All I'm saying pretty baby...
by Chris Eames 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

NICE DAY FOR A PICNIC I hope everyone has fun tomorrow at the lovely primrose hill and the eve of Tigermilking. I have been looking forward to it for ages but due to bad timing and inconvenient housemates it turns out we are moving into our new flat Saturday :( It looks like there is very little chance i will make the picnic but i may still be able to get to Tigermilking.... We shall see. I hope everyone hasnt had to much to drink by then. Actually that would make meeting people a whole lot less scary, i think i will encourage you all to drink as much as possible (without any nasty consequences). I have only met three Sinisters so far, so will try and make it to see the rest of you London peoples. NOT REPORTING BACK I would have lots of happy tales of reporting back like nature, but sadly i did not find out about the recent frank black gig till the day it happened. Never fear, my fellow Pixie obsessed friend said, we can go and buy super expensive tickets off the touts at the venue. S off we trundled to Camden only to find the touts begging us for any spare tickets. We stood non chance, there were others there who had the foresight to make signs to wave around in the ticket hunt. By the looks of it, they were willing to spend a lot more that we could afford if any did turn up. Never fear though, i have already got my ticket to see him when he returns to London in October with the Catholics. I will have to wait till then... O a Pixies note, is it me or are more and more adverts for BBC programs playing Pixies tracks as backing music? I can only think of one on at the moment (some sport thingy with U-Mass as the soundtrack) but I am sure there have been lots in the past few weeks. Maybe the sound guy is a Pixies fan. I think Cannonball by the Breeders has been on more than once as well. One thing really shocked me in the last Eurovision Song contest. They always have a short film introducing each countries act and Im sure one of them had La La Love You as the background track.... La La Love you don't mean maybe......Chris xxx ps: In answer to Emma's questions, cheese over choc defiantly. I dunno about the wishes, i have a reputation for being indecisive so maybe the wizard would get bored and go away before i made up my mind. Maybe my first wish would be for a patient wizard.... ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!

Sinister: Golden lights displaying your name
by Liz Daplyn 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

THE TREES THEY GROW HIGH The shrubberies on top of Primrose Hill may have to be pressed into service as shelters tomorrow if the weather continues intermittently wet and windy. Its happened in the past, and itll happen in the future. Dont let that put you off coming out to frolic and feast, though, and all hilltop chills can be shrugged off by some frenzied indie-kid dancing at Tigermilking later. You know it makes sense. A positive aspect to less clement weather is that I wont get sunstroke and be sick after drinking too much warm white wine, which is a bonus as Brighton beach wont be there handy to receive the contents of my stomach. AND THE LEAVES THEY DO GROW GREEN On my train journey inland from the seaside last Sunday, exhausted and slightly dazed from heaving boxes up stairs and the ensuing beery session, I couldnt be bothered getting my CD player out for a while, but sat by a speeding window staring out hypnotised at adolescent wheatfields fragmentarily displaying whole regiments of acidic green stems under the golden surface as a desultory wind ruffled them like feathers. Darkness soon followed me along the vector of earth I was travelling, and Regeneration by the Divine Comedy took me all the way home including the Tube. MANYS THE TIME MY YOUNG LOVE IVE SEEN A key to the senses is distance: we can see further than we can hear (dependant upon conditions) and can sense fair or foul odours from further away than the confines of our skin, which bears the pleasures and burdens of tactility. Finally, it is only by internalising an object, by taking it into our mouth, that we can experience the intimacy of taste. Thus something horrible seen or heard is not as visceral (literally: of the intestines - gutwrenching) as something scented, felt or, most disturbingly, tasted. Is this scale of experiential intensity equally applicable to pleasant phenomena? MANYS THE TIME IVE WATCHED HIM ALL ALONE A classic Bond film in the form of Goldfinger was on TV the other day, annoyingly partitioned and bisected by the 10 oclock news, but jolly good fun all the same, prompting nostalgic juvenile sniggers at the character played by Miss Honor Blackman, Pussy Galore. But anyway, I realised during the pre-credits shooting and shagging sequence that the Sneaker Pimps minor 1997 hit 6 Underground is built around a sample from the score to this celluloid triumph. A while ago I placed the glockenspiel sample that Pizzicato 5 used for Baby Love Child, but now I cant remember which 60s soul track it comes from now. Bah. Might be the Righteous Brothers version of Youve Lost That Loving Feeling. HES YOUNG BUT HES DAILY GROWING My, this mail has turned into a bit of a monster. However, to segue inelegantly: as Minnie Ripperton sang so memorably, "Loving shoes is easy because theyre beautiful", and that applies most particularly to my new pointy brown suede high heels. I could dent some shins real good with these babies, Im tellin you. Brown really is the new black, you know. Dont misunderstand me, Im not a fetishist, but by gum theres something special about swinging the weight of a newly filled shoebox inside a fresh carrier bag as you stride along the street for an appointment with destiny. Ah, retail therapy: the canny shopper can save thousands on shrink bills and crockery. Ill leave you with that thought for the day, and it only remains to thank Mr Ian Watson for another storming How Does It Feel To Be Loved? at the ever-red Buffalo Bars at Highbury Corner. Soon coming to a Friday near you! I almost literally cant wait.

Sinister: If I were to fall
by Katia913＠aol.com 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hello Sinister, Every summer I enroll in a community art class. Being home from College and sick of my Studio classes there, they are always a refreshing change. The class is always the same, Advanced Painting taught by Tom James (whenever there is a newcommer, they always call him Mr. Jones by accident without fail, someone giggles and starts to sing some Tom Jones hit). The enrollment is static, a group of mostly 50+ lawyers and teachers that need to unwind from their families. One woman signs up every session (it continues durring the year) but only comes once or twice and shops without her husband's knowing instead. Notwithstanding, the class is a riot. When I graduated from Highschool, they painted my a picture and dubbed me their Cool Cat at the Tuesday Night Fun House. If I were to fall in love, I would pick a man from this class. Rich, a contractor and veitnam vet, brings me old Burt Lancaster films or screenplays by Tennesse Williams. He wears faded old Oxfords like I used to take for smocks from Dad's closet. His hands are hard but delicatly paint only large cats. His stories about his immigrant father and details from the lovely people of veitnam (he lived there for a while after the war) make him more interesting than anyone I could find at a B&S show anyday. Tom would be my other love. He makes me mix tapes of Bel Canto and Nick Drake, soft French pop and Eastern European Techno. And he taught my how to tone a canvas. Why is it that I am more interested in these characters than anyone here? Just a thought.
