Sinister: sock monkey breakdown
by Andrea Young 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

It was reading a post from Idleberry that finally screamed 'post something!' to me. So here I am. Stopped reading for quite a long time because my hotmail account was becoming unsavory with junk mail. Switched email addresses, and became the new, improved kittenmouse at gmail, as you can see here. In NYC, as well (I'm in grad school, waiting to graduate and get the f*** out of this filthy city, but that's another story altogether). I used to live in Portland, Oregon, where you may remember the long, lost Kittenmouse Radio, through which I used to broadcast my opinions, and more often, my awful taste in music, every Monday night. I did more than one all Belle and Sebastian show, including a few weeks where it was every song of theirs in alphabetical order by title. I still have some shows on minidisc and cd, and the website hasn't been deleted yet by my old school (http://web.pdx.edu/~andreay) though I've been locked out of editing it since I graduated long ago. The playlists are still there. I want to bring it back as a podcast, but I don't have broadband or server space. Any advice? How much server space does one need for people to download a few 1/2 hour or hourlong podcasts anyway? Sorry about not going to the picnic. I was working that day and didn't hear about it until this morning. You could find me at StitchNBitch downtown if my classes weren't on tuesday nights. Maybe we should start a Sinister Stitch N Bitch on a different night. Or a Mr. Driller arcade tournament. Have you heard of the game called Mr. Driller? It's cute. It's addictive. You can get it on your cellphone, or on various home platforms, and there is an arcade version. I don't know if there an arcade in New York with Mr. Driller, but they have it at that retro arcade in Portland...the one on NW Couch Street. Can't remember the name. :) andrea kittenmouse +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: we hung about the tenderloin...
by curt＠asiasf.com 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

hello sinisterines, decided to pop out of the shadows and make myself known on this silly list. one can only be a voyeur for so long and two years or so has been long enough... he said while looking over his shoulder eyeing up the nearest exit. if the san francisco muni metro could get me to the cloisters i would be charmed to drink lots of beer and show off my red knickers. alas... i will just sit here in said knickers scowling at myself in the mirror...drinking loads of beer. i know there are other sinisters here in san francisco lurking around the dive bars, just as we lurk on the list. maybe we should create a secret badge or handshake so we can identify each other. excited to hear about a new album in the works. happy birthday. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a century... ummm... couple of years... of lurkers...
by Jules Richards 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Joan of Dark said >Jules Markham: the first post that I ever received from sinister was from >this amazing girl. Wow! To be uttered in the same breath as the lovely Miss Honey, I feel like I'm in some sort of elite (granted, a shy, awkward & nervous elite, but elite nontheless) So I feel compelled to drag myself out of the shadows of lurkerdom along with so many others, say happy birthday sinister, snaffle some tizer & dissapear again while no one's looking... What have I been doing in the last 2 or so years? I got married, which was a bit of a surprise, to a sweet sinisterine who I met through Katy Coopers tape tree, and did boring things like get a mortgage, and fun things like get a big garden full of herbs & apple trees. Then there was the depressing stuff like getting arthritis AND becoming a great-aunt before reaching 30, and the great stuff like starting a teeny-tiny business, and finally hitting the milestone that is 30, only to find that being 30 is actually great! All the stuff about lost youth, biological clock ticking etc etc, it's a load of rubbish! And still occasionally writing little stories about a black fox... So, that said, I will will disappear into the undergrowth again, clutching the last pack of jaffa cakes. Love to all Jules +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Everything Goes Around The Water
by Forest Pines 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Well, well, well. When I was younger, I used to wonder what it would be like to be all grown-up. I didn't realise, back then, that I'd never find out. I still feel like a small child inside. I don't think this is ever going to change. I still love to bounce around the house to loud music, and smirk at childish jokes. Eight years ago, nearly, I was sitting in the computer lab on the fourth floor of the University Library, with my then-current sexfriend, searching the web for stuff on Belle & Sebastian. I found a recently-started mailing list, run from elsewhere in the university. I joined it. I didn't stay on it continuously, but I've always come back again. Sinister has meant a lot to me, and so has #sinister. It was somewhere to retreat to when the said sexfriend turned into a mad harridan who hated "that awful twee music". It was somewhere to find friends, even if I was the only list member who wasn't at it like rabbits at one point or another. Even though it doesn't feel like it, I *have* been through a lot of changes in my life, and many of them are catalogued in Sinister posts. I've been back through some of those changes and undone them; but I'm still a member of Sinister and I still read it. My life will change in the future in ways I can't even predict; and maybe that will be catalogued on Sinister in the future too. Right now, I know a lot of Sinisterines are meeting up, drinking, celebrating and mourning. And long may they continue to do so. I'm not - I'm sat at home listening to Stereolab, trying to sort out the design of my new blog and keeping half an eye on #sinister. It's the first time I've been to #sinister for maybe a year or so, but somehow it still feels as homely as it always did. I'm trying to explain there what's going on in my life at the moment: Random conversations in the street, and getting back in touch with people I've known even longer than *you*. And I realise that as I'm typing, I'm quietly smiling. We used to have the List Crush system. Well, I've got a crush on the entire list. All of you, for all of the past eight years. You've done something wonderful along the way. xx fp http://www.symbolicforest.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: nyc picnic - speakers?
by Angela M. Smith 27 Aug '05

If anyone has small portable speakers that can be used with an ipod, that would be super fun to bring! We could take turns djing or just leave an album on (b&s maybe?).

Re: Sinister: i predict a picnic...i predict a picnic
by Ulla Saar 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

We're going to have a little picnic among Estonian sinistereens ourselves in Tallinn as Glasgow is just a bit too far away. I don't know about the other two girls but i'll be sure to wear red knickers to celebrate the 8th birthday. I'll be wearing other things too but that's sort of irrelevant right now. The funny thing is that all of us went to same art school, all of us studied product design and all of us are/were part of sinister without others knowing... Until it came out in one party, where else, when one of us put Belle and Sebastian record on, can't quite remember who it was but the record was Tigermilk. Now, there might be more sinistereens in Estonia that i know nothing about and if there is and they want to come along for some cake and pop and nice music would you be so kind and indentify yourself to me on my email? We're quite nice really and huggable too.. I also think Starry Stacey's idea of tape, sorry CD tree, is great! i'm up for it Stace! And be nice to Honey, she has been through a LOT lately. Send her nice words and hugs via internet if you can. Could be a photo of your red knickers too...

Sinister: sum-sum-sum-sum-summertiiiime
by Angela M. Smith 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

I must say everyone's courageous non-lurking has been inspiring. I don't feel like I should really give a backstory here, since no one would remember anything I've posted, and I'm not a long lost Sinister celebrity or anything. Ken Chu did sleep in my room once though, if that counts as a brush with fame, which I believe it does. Summer started early this year as a twinkle in my eye and a bounce in my step, only a few weeks into spring. I was full of hopes and goals and dreams of all the things I would accomplish this summer, all the people I would meet, and all the free things that New York City has to offer in the morbidly humid months. I seem to have blocked out the fact that as soon as you walk out the door, you've spent $20 on bottled water to keep the dehydration and heatstroke away, and you just want to cry and stomp your feet because the subway car you got on has no air-conditioning suddenly, and you're blinded by sweat. Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, and maybe I'm being a little "glass half-empty" here, but deep down I'm really sad to see summer dwindle away, all while feeling like I've been sitting in the house for 2 months. The 2 weeks before Labor Day (Sept. 5th) always seem rushed, like you're trying to cram in all these activities at once. I just turned a quarter of a century old, but I don't feel any different. Okay, so I had a mini nervous breakdown about not knowing the direction of my life, living in a city which is beyond my means, not knowing why I stay here, but not being able to leave, etc. I'm super excited about the picnic in the Cloisters tomorrow, I will be bringing super luscious cheese and bread, and I have to ponder on the fact that I don't think I have red knickers. I might need to go shopping! I wish we could have a huge picnic, sort of like a down south family reunion in the forest preserve, and get t-shirts made with some cheesy font and logo, but geography doesn't permit that. I love you all, and I've read every email that's ever been posted on here in the 4(?) years I've subscribed. Even though I haven't participated much, I plan to change that. angela +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Gluttony and Lust

hello everyone, Jeanette said this: ***parts of this quote may have been altered for editorial reasons*** "If any of you lovelies have a crush on a boy or girl with a pronounced sweet tooth, I highly recommend a Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie to get their attention. It worked for me! Check out the Sinister Recipe Tree (compiled by the charming, intelligent, witty, devilishly handsome Terry Underwear) for this and lots of other yummy recipes. It'll keep you in the kitchen and out of trouble." That pie is seriously tasty. The recipe, and many fabulous others (thanks to the glorious Caitlin Pigtails), can be find right here: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ Lately I've been in an entrepreneurial mood, trying to think up ways of getting rich quick. My latest idea involves blow-up sex dolls. Wait, there's more. The dolls will be based on a range of historical figures. Ever wanted to get it on with: Mona Lisa (insert your own Moaner pun here)? The Virgin Mary (insert your own crude virgin joke here)? Jesus Christ (insert your own bondage joke here)? Adolf Hitler (who will come in both the one balled and two balled variety)? I know I have. great to see you all again. terry here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.as… +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The dog days of travel
by Eric Brasure 26 Aug '05

Is anyone going to the NYC picnic tomorrow that has a car and would like to transport an incredibly cute basset hound (and his owner)? I desperately want to bring him, but I can't see any way of doing so short of taking a taxi, which would be prohibitively expensive. It's a long shot, but who knows? All snack food I bring will be guaranteed to contain MSG.
