Hello! You know, it must be quiet around these sinister parts, since nobody has yet whinged about valentines day as of yet. You know, what's up with that??? No one's written any poems! or passages of lament and sorrow! nobody's boasted about how they are in love! huh? Whilst being at the bog, I read this following haiku on the toilet door... it's valentine's day i hope i'll get chocolate as i'm quite hungry Great sentiment, however, who the hell thinks about eating chocolate whilst at the shitter??? -------- For those of you in London and is after some place to go on that day there is I heard another Tigermilking Event at the Betsey Trotwood - "My Bloody Valentine Special", I hear! Does that mean there'll be a special at the bar for Bloody Mary? Unforutnately I won't be there since I'm going to be in SINGAPORE for my sister's wedding! (my first wedding ever!! eep!) But those who will be here should really check it out. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking/ Wow on there there are pictures of my bum! -------- SUPERBOWL I, like Sam Walton, also had a superbowl watching party, although, lacking in friends the party involved me and my flatmate, who went to bed after half way thorugh the second quarter - i.e. HA HA he watched all the boring bits and missed out on all the excitements that came after!! - GREAT CAROLINA MINI-COMEBACK TO TIE - 2ND LONGEST DRIVE IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY - LONGEST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY - FINAL SECOND JOHNNY WILKINSON KIND OF LIKE FIELD GOAL - JANET JACKSON'S BOOB-SHOWAGE SHOCKAH! I read through the news paper headline and there was none that said "JUSTIN BROUGHT OUT THE BREAST IN JANET JACKSON" What's up with that?? Also, oh my god, I had never noticed before last night that the football players wear so much ASS PADDING!!!!!!! They all looked like J-Lo!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------- I'M A CUCKOO Blimey! There are still people in this world playing this I'm a Cuckoo game!! Grr! And beating my score!! (Although I was first to break 1million!) There goes my social life for the next month. Yay! I never had one in the first place. I will however have to schedule I'm a cuckoo playage with Project Gotham Racing and Grand Theft Auto Vice City though. I'm like a kid again. Ken *the best sound in the world (not dissimilar to the pool balls rolling out) is when you pot a ball properly in snooker and it goes "ker-kluck" when the ball hits the wood bit at the back and falls into the pocket. swweeeeeeeet. In stark contrast to John Virgo the commentator, who should learn to be quiet. *the sound of a perfect strike in bowling is also pretttty special. ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Vinatieri, New England Kicker
by Sam Walton 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hello Sinister. We had a Superbowl party last night at our house. There were about 15 of us. We've had one every year we've been at Uni together. It's something of a tradition, and I've no shame in sitting into the small hours watching plenty of VERY LARGE men in TIGHT LYCRA beating seven shades of shit out of one another. But last night's party was special because we had REAL LIVE AMERICANS in our presence to explain the rules to us. It was most fun, and we now understand the subtleties of the "unnecessary roughness" penalty too. It was a pretty good game, although I was rooting for the Panthers, if you want the truth. I thought they had it sewn up one stage, too, but you have to hand to that guy who kicked the 41-yard field goal for New England with 4 seconds to go; he certainly had nerves of steel. Anyway, I'm sat here listening to DCW, and I can happily say that it's really standing the test of time, in my ears at least. "...Cuckoo" is an extraordinarily good song, in my opinion. Bordering on perfect B&S? Could be. See, I recently experienced a bit of a messy break-up with my girlfriend of 9 months or so, and I haven't heard quite as good a break-up song as "...Cuckoo" since I ended the relationship less than mutually. Anyway, I just think that it's absolutely magical stuff. "Wrapped...", "Step..." and "...Loose" are also gems, for sure. But since becoming suddenly single about a week ago I've been trying to take pleasure out of the little things in life: I've been enjoying the sound of Paul O'Reilly's rather good "First Thing In The Morning" through headphones against a muffled backdrop of gently clacking keyboards. I've been compiling a list of my favourite non-musical sounds*, and I've also been noticing those wonderful, comfortable, easy silences that you enjoy in just the right company at just the right time. I also saw Lost In Translation, too, talking of the simple things. Sure, I know I'm late with a review, so I won't bother with one. I think it's a very Sinister film though - I can imagine a lot us enjoying the little moments in it. I certainly did. Heck I nearly cried at one point, but then I stopped and remembered that I'm a DOUBLE-HARD BASTARD. Another good film is American Splendour, which again I can imagine a Sinister population really digging. One thing that's far from simple though is a Justin Trousersnake concert. Carsmile may concur. I had the pleasure of attending one with my now-ex-but-then-current girlfriend about two weeks ago, and I was just absolutely bowled over. He is an ugly man, but he sure can move, and I don't think I've ever seen anything as slick and just brilliantly professional in all my life. I mean it when I say that B&S could probably take a leaf or two out of his book. Really. Anyway, I think that's about all. It's quite quiet around here at the moment, isn't it? Asm.x *the crunch of snow under foot; the clunk-roll of balls being released from a pool table; the pop of a cork coming out of a bottle; the flap-thud of letters coming through the door in the morning; the sqelch of laser on compact disc etc. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Sign-up for a FREE BT Broadband connection today! http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i was looking good on the day that you fell for the way i looked
by rrrrobyn 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

be-scarved masses, hello: so it snowed in london, did it? yeah, it snowed here too. *every day for days and days*. sometimes i dream about seeing the grass or feeling a pleasant breeze, but hey, it's my second winter in montreal and the crazy thing is that i don't mind it this time around. yeah, it's cold and the wind (-40 does not a pleasant breeze make) can sometimes make your head feel like a melon about to shatter, but, y'know, it eventually ends and you feel a bit proud for making it through. i also cheered myself up before christmas with a really nice new hat, and my christmas xchange santa-girl katie sent me a lovely baby-blue scarf :) hurrah! i was just playing the 'i'm a cuckoo' game. it is hard and my patience does not seem to extend to video games anymore. maybe this is because i'm now 29 years old! (i had a Twin Peaks party! it was great! coffee, pie, doughnuts, weirdness!) at least i know that i'm still good at having parties, staying up late and drinking to excess... originally, my new year's resolution was to not drink (as much/often) and then i switched it to something else, which i've now forgotten. probably because of all the drinking. (haha. er.) will there be another Tigermilking or something 'indie' when i come to London? hint hint please please. i'm there from March 31 to April 20. and even if there isn't a Tigermilking, I hope there is a getting-togethering so that I might see some people again and some for the first time - yes, i'm talkin' to you. it would be nice. i might also need to sleep on your couches/floors for a night or two because the friend i'm to stay with will have a new baby and i kinda would like to give her and her husband some space if needed. *also*, my brother will be in london april 2-5! i haven't seen him in almost 2 years, so that's exciting. um, and i told him i'd ask around here if anyone would like to put up a cute, young canadian thang for a couple nights. would you? he's great. if only we weren't such *poor*, cute, young canadian thangs, we wouldn't need to ask for such help and could just have posh hotel rooms. alas... oh, and you'd have places to stay in both vancouver and montreal if you ever wanted to visit the best two cities in canada. (i can hear s.kado from here: "torontopia!" and i say: "no.") i still can't quite believe i'm headed overseas in two months - i'm all caught up in school (as usual) and things. no boyfriend anymore, but hey, it's actually for the better. i've been writing a lot about cosmetic surgery, bodybuilding and fashion. will the thesis be done by august? probably not, but i'm not too worried. i heart school. my name is robyn and i want to do a phd. eegh. ah, they just played some stereolab on the radio and i realized that i haven't listened to stereolab in a while. in fact, i haven't even noticed it on my cd shelves, my eyes apparently just pass over those *several inches of stereolab cds* every time i look for something to listen to. what is wrong? i adore stereolab. perhaps i need a better way to organize my cds? none of this silly alphabetical stuff. something better, a *system* better than the alphabet... i love systems. i need some medication. also, after the stereolab song, a guy on the radio said he worked in a cafe called 'java the hutt'. in kansas. haha. ha. puns. it's almost as good as the hair salon i saw just outside london called 'curl up and dry'. which reminds me: i haven't punned around on #sinister for some time now. must visit. ohmygod, there's a new mountain goats cd. aaah! love. so much love. i love the system that is sinister. r o b y n here is something: http://apoemabouteverything.blogspot.com (i don't know.) ===== 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!
