Hello you lot, I'm planning a book. It will be based on my own experiences and will be mediocre as hell. A study in boredom. Based in the Preston branch of "Wilkinson Home and Garden", it follows the story of the assistant manager named Wilson, in the most mediocre life possible. He drives a Volkswagen golf and sits at home in the small Preston suburb of Lea drinking fine - but not brilliant - malt whiskey, lighting a cheap cigarette, and puts his face in his hands. Then he sighs, lifts his hand from his head, and picks up some paperwork. He goes to bed wearing paisely pyjamas. Are you bored and depressed yet? Good. I plan to write a novel based on experiences such as that. I'm listening to the Tindersticks. Beautiful. Wow. SO good! And what the hell is "Pretty in Pink" anyway? Is it some teen-wank musical? Admittedly I'm just going on a tenuous link to the "Pink Ladies" from Grease but never mind. You and your films. Wilsons favourite film will probably be "Look Who's Talking Too". NO! "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Café". Oh Elle you are so daft - imagine not knowing Jimmy Page! And Dave Grohl and everyone else laughs at you. Golly. Harvey out of Hawkwind lives up a mountain just outside an average sized village in Preston. Shall I introduce you? He used to play acoustical guitar in slightly interesting coffee shops. But they've shut now. David Moore, Chelmsford, United Kingdom - the guy playing drums was some dude from Hefner - the Po Caff stars from way back when, when they were the latest big thing in some admittedly quite small ripples in puddles. (I've used admittedly twice, what a restricted vocabulary.) And comic celebrity moments? I don't know if its comedic, but I'm quite proud that someone who I didn't know signed my Miffy book and turns out he is from UBERTWEE popsters the Razorcutz. Har... I'll leave you now with the interesting fact that funk has replaced jazz as the dominant influence in drums and bass music. "Oh", I hear you all say. me voy ahora adios, Sarah xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
