i would like to state that failure to comply with mla regulations regarding works cited pages does not a dope make in the book of kirsten. not that it would matter, as the vastly overrated book of kirsten has been proven to contain numerous innaccuracies and hideous biases, especially concerning artistic license, american classics, biology, and don fucking henley. thanky. love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Will sinister make a man of me yet?
by snowy . 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hello everyone. After finally being released from the nursery, I thought I'd get my sinister cherry popped quickly and painlessly. I have nothing very profound to say right now, which is probably for the best. I would like to say though, sorry that my e-mail address features '_theband@....'. This is not a piece of shameless self-promotion, I just couldn't get 'snowy@.....' as someone else already had it. I've become really attached to the name snowy too *starts to sob*. I've had great fun reading all your messages while I've been kicking my heals in the nursery. I was particularly taken by the game 'cheese' (sorry I'm not good at remembering names). That is very much my sense of humour, and we used to do something similar at school. As I remember, we didn't have the self-control to get through 3 hands with straight faces. There was something else, but I've forgotten that now *bats head in foolhardy attempt to restore memory* I seem to have made this less brief than intended, sorry. By the way though, I am going to the Brixton gig and looking forward to it greatly! I think a few friends and I might have a picnic earlier in the day (maybe Hampstead Heath or Greenwich) if that sounds appealing to anyone. Take care all. snowy xxx _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "your art degree may not be worth the paper it's written on"?
by Sillylorna＠aol.com 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

i'm watchin an old man on telly talking about giving his wife anal sex. anyways....I'm happy today, for the first time in, ooh, Gawd knows how long, but you see, things aren't ever as bad as they seem (erm, unless things actually are as bad as they seem, in which case, they, erm, are). Remembering the trials of school, and silly teachers telling me I'd only ever be this when I might actually be that, that which they never believed me to be. You see,if I play my cards right, I have an interview at university. Me! Uni! Never! But I do. Somehow I have. and i'm now trying to make videos and mini movies in time to put into my folio! i made a video on cabbages last month, then a news report on phones and tried to get an interview from some policemen but they said no, the women in the vodafone shop said no too. and the schools. so in the end we didn't actually get an interview. on friday i had to interview students on the subject of our college getting a union, there was one guy who was on speed and he kept moving and sniffing and saying 'great...yeh!' really enthusiastically, think we put him off the college though- he was there for an interview and was shocked to hear the college was crap and didn't have any facilities. does anyone actually read this far? so.. i'm going to uni maybe, in derby, i say dErby and get my ass kicked. on a film and video course, on one at the moment but it's a bit crap and i wanna do more. i'm making a video next week, about a giant hamster. to the tune to 'me and the major' (sounds like midgit on the belfast recording) toodle-loo folks, lorna +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: happiness stands
by michelle ruiz 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

[hi] You know reality can be a very scary thing. Well, not scary, just intimidating. Yeah that's it..intimidating. I'm starting to look for an apartment and I'm doing it by myself. The paperwork just freaks me out- leases and all that. Is it really that bad? Or am I making a big deal about it. may bee. What's exciting though is that I'd get to decorate it (somewhat, since I plan on getting a roomie). I also want to get a pet of some kind (not a dog or a cat..yet)since I was a deprived child and never had one. Maybe a turtle or an iguana just like the one Bjork has in 'venus as a boy' would be nice. I can name it Slinka or if it's a boyurtle or boyguana, Paspatoo. So, if anyone has an extra iguana or turtle- don't be stingy, and share the love. Some people need anger management. I want to set up a little booth in various places like Lucy's in Peanuts comics. Why? For example. Today in the uni comp lab a boy in a scary trenchcoat (I guess there's half your answer right there) lashed out on a computer mouse and banged it against the table repeatedly. It was funny at first but then it was just plain annoying. So, if I have little stands the boy and others in need of anger management could have just walked right on over I could pass out stickers that say 'I'm a winner!' and 'I am special' or something. And cookies, lots of cookies. Milano ones. Tonight my boss (one of four that I have) is going to sing. At the same show there will be an 80 year old man named Woody singing 'It Had to Be You.' I've heard him sing and oh it's priceless. Kinda sounds like a male version of Ethel Merman's voice. If that's at all possible. There's an idea! Have WOODY open for B&S. A duet with Struan. oh kids it's the stuff dreams are made of. (Can you tell I'm still hung up on this opening-act deal?) So, Mr. Robertson I've given you more than enough ideas for the B&S openers. Whoever does open, I'm afraid won't top the wonder that is Woody. It seems there's going to be plenty of action in Chicago during gig-time/spring, which is great. I was also thinking maybe we could have film outings! We could all go see a classic/foreign/indie film and later discuss at a cafe or something. I just thought the idea was nice. We could do it every couple months or so, or whenever people are in town. So if you're down with this let me know. that's all for now. I'm going to see if I can ease my cravings for falafel and frosted flakes. [x michelle x] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: mmmmmmmmm mmm
by Christopher David Johnson 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi guys! Well I'm super chirpy today as its just been confirmed that i am to leave these wet shores to enjoy a year at the University of santa Barbara. Well its not till September but thats a lot of time to get excited about it. So, now for some serious list abuse, Mine is a plea to any nice californians in this area to befriend me so i don't come over to your big counrty all on my lonesome. I'm just a wee Scots laddie not used to anything much appart fae haggis hunting and what not. Seriously though, i'd be most grateful as theres a lot to learn. So wow, theres been a lot of emotions on the list right now. A lot of people are mentioning exes all of whom have remained in some sort of contact and all of who seem moved by the experiences, then their are those with real anxieties about tickets for gigs - yeah ticketmaster, wheres mine?!!, but best of all i think have been the funny tales and information. Well, Stuart Gardiner i'm sure is chortling to himself as i imediately tested his challenge that it is impossible for a human to lick their elbow. Well i'd agree, but i'm notoriously inflexible and miracles can happen. Also recently I loved that alternate take to 'La Patie de la Bourgoisie', ahh, mishearings. I was sitting in this fine institutions computer lab, surrounded by loads of serious looking students, trying so hard not to laugh last whilst emmiting strange snorting noises which i tried to pretend where coughs. They gave me odd looks but i bet it was to hide their curiosity at what was so funny. And then to top it all off Tom Pettinger shared his Card story. Well wow, i'm inviting my buddies round for 'cheese' and wine this week! So right now i'm listening to Peloton by the Delgados. I guess i should be a bit more familiar with the group but i only really got into them a couple weeks back, and whilst the musics rather good its the names i like. I can't tell you my excitement at being a cyclist and seeing 'Domestiques' with all its surrounding artwork. And then on the inside it says artwork by 'Van Impe', now surely that refers to the great flemish powerhouse himself, and then the track listing was laid out just like Tour De France results! and what a fine picture of old Pedro Delgado himself. Well maybe i'm a little overexcited by what to most of you will be old news but its not everyday the sport gets recognised in cool culture. Anyway this must all seem really dull to most of you who don't cycle. By the way, have any of you read Lance Armstrong's book though? he used to grace my bedroom door as a schoolboy, resplendant in his World Champions Jersey of 1993 and now it seems so wrong to idoloize him as a cyclist. His come back from Cancer to me really was a moving event as it unfolded in the cycling press and his attitude towards his illness and recovery is so truly admirable, and even resposible in a selfless way, and so many times did my eyes well up with tears while reading his book. I'd recommend it to anyone as the cycling content really is only minor detail in accompaniment to a story of incredible courage. And on that note i shall leave, but i look forward to hearing from any of you Californian B&S fans who might want to pity me, Cheers guys, Christopher +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fuzzy, furry, blurry
by Amy Skelton 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Noswaith dda (Good Evening) Sinister! If Im ever going to learn Welsh properly Ill need to start practising daily but making that time can be difficult alike reading posts/posting to Sinister. The original idea when I went to the lessons was to just learn the basics as I always felt completely ignorant when old ladies chatted to me on the street and I didnt even know enough to say Im sorry, I dont understand Im now well past this stage but have started to get into it. Before, I forget - note to Bron and anyone else wondering - Ordinary World is a song by Duran Duran. Apologies if someone else has already mentioned it. Now several people have asked about any pre/post Manchester gig shenanigans but with it being a month away nothing definite has been set. If in time someone decides to take charge please let me know what is going on. Im really pleased that the gig is in the middle of my Easter hols from uni - hehe!! Cay made a fantabulous picnic mummy last time but there seem to be lots of you who are still based in Manchester on the list who may want to take control. Whatever happens its going to be a drastic change from the last time I was in the lovely city, which was for the Frank Morton games last week. This is where all the U.K. university Chemical Engineering departments current and ex-students get together for one day a year (different venue each year), play a bit of sport and for those who do drink alcohol get horribly, horribly drunk and end up in a nightclub filled with just Chem Engers. Its so much fun - this year was my fourth time, hopefully of many more to come. Ive never heard of any other course that does something like this and I think its a shame, but so it goes. Were really (well most of us), a very sociable breed but so many people have a bad perception of what engineers are like. Im actually very gutted that Ive had to stop planning weekends away kayaking/hiking/conservation work/visiting (the possibilities go on for ages) but my design project deadline is looming - aagghhh! I never devote as much time as I should to work but its near on essential at the moment. I really need to clear my head. During the last few weeks the conversations Ive had with certain men have been incredibly messy. The just friends or more than friends borderline has become so blurry it is almost non-existent. I need to decide what to do, but at the minute the thoughts in my head are just going around in circles. Most importantly, I dont want to potentially lose a good friend but sometimes friends can make the best partners. Ive fallen into this trap before and I dont seem to have learnt any lessons from the last time. I know this is vague but if I tried to write down what is going on I would be here for most of the night. Yoga wont solve the problem but it will certainly clear my head for a while which can only be a good thing. I did have lots to say before but tiredness seems to have kicked in a wee bit and more to the point Ive started pondering my relationship dilemmas again. Take care... ...Amy P.S.

Sinister: West Sussex wanderings
by Rebecca Wright 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Oh, Caitlin out did me on the deer spotting train journey, whilst I only saw one standing in the wasteland outside Reading station she was blessed with a whole family. I don't think anyone else saw mine, I audibly gasped but managed to refrain from pipping"oohhh, look deer!" to the podgy commuter tapping away on his laptop opposite me. Any long haul train journey passing through a substantial length of countryside during daylight hours provides a prime opportunity for a game of 'Rabbit cricket'. Every rabbit spotted en route counts as a run, each station stop is a wicket and the entire one-way journey makes up the innings. My advice is to allocate your preferred team the journey occurring early dawn or late dusk as those are good rabbit spotting times. I spent the majority of my waking hours this weekend on a train/waiting for a train/worrying about absence of train. Stepped off one at 9pm Sunday night to the announcement "This is Havant, you're in the middle of f*cking nowhere", or maybe it was just "change here for Guildford" I can't be sure. (apologies to any Sinisterees living in Havant, it's probably very nice when one's not cold, disorientated & hungry). Earlier I'd sat for an hour at Arundel station in the drizzle talking to a retired jockey on his way from the stables to an empty house in Bognor. I gathered the most important thing in his life was a horse by the name of Smarty (and it was one!). I got blue at that point and haven't been able to shake it off since. Sarah Beckett wrote: 'I've been a serial lurker for quite some time now and, like 'strange boy on swing' in the endearing 'prospero's books', I am no longer content to occasionally piddle into the great sinister swimming pool. I want to dive right in.' Hi Sarah! Another Peter Greenway fan, hurrah! Don't s'pose if any of you lot remember but in my first post I resolved to be more like the skipping girl off 'drowning by numbers'. I've been to one sinister picnic/party and planning to go to others, what I really need now is my own Smut to be condescending to- self inflicted circumcision doesn't have to be on the criteria. Well, without further ado here's my list of stars: Kochab Polaris Eltanin Thuban Enif Bellatrix Vulpecula (little fox) Izar Peacock (that's right, peacock!) Caph A nice little pick 'n' mix of stars, no? I recite it on my bi-daily trudge over the Thames when TomPaulin gets drowned out by the wind & traffic. bye now Becky xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: My girl's got miraCHUless teKENiques
by Tom Pettinger 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Respect the title. My pastiche will be even better. I'd like to say "nice day for a post", but there has been a large influx of posts recently, so it isn't really a good day for a post, but I'll post anyway because... *I was released early today, and I don't feel kike making a cup of tea. *(Honey read; "I have many useful things and heart rendering stories i feel it is my obligation to regale to you.) Hello. Ken said: >The restaurant was nice, small but thriving, and they played cheesy >Chinese pop tunes in the background, I was surprised to remember some of the >old classics. Even as tenuous sinister links go this is pushing it but: Cheese. In the common room in our school (and Richard Cottyn will confirm this) there is a huge number of people who sit and play cards, lookin bored but thinking tha it cheers them up. Every other break you are invited to play some form of game you have never heard of, and told it is easy and that you will pick it up etc. For those League of Gentleman fans out there, the "go johnny go-go-go-go" scene fits exactly. Well, a couple of friends and myself had had enough of this lark today. As is a common thought in my circle of friends, "We'll teach them to play silly buggers". Hence, "cheese" was born. It is our own card game. The game is, you and your friend/s invite someone who thinks they are a bit of a card shark to play "cheese" with you. Before the game you tell them that you are playing "outback" rules, because 4's are high and Kings need to be matched, otherwise you pick up. (?) Proceed to deal out however you feel the need, then arrange the rest of the pack of cards on the table in separate piles at your discretion. Now simply see how far you can go! Keeping a straight face, place random cards on a main pile and take on a pained expression. Occasionally pick up a card from one of the piles, swap your hand for one of them etc. and tell the victim they have just put down a "doubler", a "royal cheese", a "straight cheese" etc. We managed to get through 3 rounds before we got bored and told them. Yes, it is juvenile and immature. Yes, it is hilarious. Richard Kim Jones said: >p.s.go listen to sigur rós now OK Gina T, thankyou for the tape, I haven't listened to it yet but I'm sure it is wonderful. I am still working on yours. I have fallen in love with the girl/s from Slumber Party. This is entirely possible as they are all sweet-sweet-sweet, but if pushed to make a choice I would have fall in love with...all of them. I love there album. Does anyone know where I can get "Psychadelicate"? Much laughing for Stu for coming up with all these amusing one-liners. They're those things that I can't remember if they're original or not (no offence, Stu) so I daren't go and tell my friends because I'll be like*: "Hey guys, there are two types of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't!!!" And they'll be like*: "Nice one Tom, we've only heard that one a thousand times." (*Note the American girl school of quirkiness style) Much like that one about walking a mile in someone's shoes. Or the one have, on occasion, used: "I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous." ... Mmm...they get worse... xToMx Whoo-hoo, Offbeat friday this week. P.S. Robster, I tried to look at the pictures but too many other greedy people were on.

Sinister: nice day for a post
by Kenneth P Y Chu 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

You know your day is gonna be good when, you know how a ring of keys sometimes come undone on their own and keys drop out, well my keys did that last week and I never bothered to put them back together, but today after putting both bits of the keyset into my pocket they miraculously slotted themselves back together all on their own. Now I have just one, whole, set of keys again and I'm happy. Later on I received some lovely stuff through the post, I thought I had my own stalker when I opened my door today and a guy was standing there, but it was just the postman giving me a bunch of posts. One of the posts was a nagging mail from scottish powers about how I haven't yet paid my gas bills, which wasn't particularly good news except - I noticed that the cheating bastards had used "estimated" values (i.e. they were too lazy to actually come round and check my meters and so they just GUESSED how much gas I used) - and their guestimates were like 3 times too much so I can phone them now and my bill will be cut by a third. :) Speaking of cutting short... There's a lady in the office here who is really small, like about 4 feet tall. I never noticed how little she was, maybe she was below my line of sight, or maybe I just have a shortcoming in observations... there was this other girl in my office, who I just knew had something wrong with her, something that's not quite right about her but I could never figure out what it was, until one day, it hit me like a giant mallet, that she had a giant mullet! In true 80s news presenter style too, with a pair of 80s news presenter glasses. Anyhow, when I walked past the 4 foot lady earlier today I suddenly wondered what it would be like if I were reeeally short (like even shorter than I am now) - I'd be really seeing things from a different perspective, and how convenient it'd be to be able to burrow through things rather than having to go round them because I'd be so small. Or what if I were reeeally tall (like even taller than i am now)? Like I can tip-toe and I can immediately see things over a huge brick wall.. In our office, where the photocopier is they have a few these 6' tall cupboards that formed a cubicle-like thing around the copier, the walls are just high enough so that anyone above 6 foot can casually spy around the office over the cupboards whilst bearing the photocopying chores - everyone else would have to either tip-toe really hard, or (*gasp*) jump to see anything, which incidentally would make one look, eloquently put, like a prick. Not that I've tried. And if I were very tall would I also start spending my whole life counting how many bits of dandruff people have just because I can see their scalps?

Sinister: the big monkey said to the little monkey "oo oo oo"

i just remembered why i'm on this list... it's because so many of those who dwell here are so damn lovely. i send one badly written, whiny post and i'm overwhelmed with messages of sympathy and empathy from all over the world. thanks everybody. i still haven't told my mum quite how bad my exam results were, but i'm feeling more positive about it. not on a lighter note, but on a similarly dismal one, i am currently suffering from a quite unpleasant skin complaint (you know you want to hear about this) that has made my face all dry and blotchy and itchy. the doctor won't help, so whilst wandering around harvey nicks* (dahling) yesterday with my mum, we stumbled across a stall in the cosmetics department with a fish tank and big signs telling us of how a physicist from NASA invented a magic face cream made from fish. intrigued i had a consultation with a scary posh woman who was wearing too much orange make-up (you should have seen the horror on her face when i told her i sometimes wash with soap) and my mum ended up spending over £150 on cosmetic products. i never envisioned myself as the sort of person who would use £75 moisturiser, at least not until i was rich and famous anyway, but apparently now i am. not sure why i just told you that, but it makes me feel glamorous, even though i don't look it just now. ~~content alert~~ are there any plans afoot to meet up before the gig in manchester? if there are someone email me, and if not i don't mind being in charge of generating some. so, assuming nothing is already happening you may send me ideas or expressions of interest for a manchester pre-gig meetup. i also have secret plans for afterwards which i may be persuaded to share if bribed handsomely. thanks again for being who you are, love and lollipops, fiona. *for the uninitiated (non uk) a really expensive department store ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ visit http://clubindigo.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
