Hi. Do most of you people write your Sinister posts when you're bored? Well, I'm going to do that now so bear with me. I'm not sure if there's anything I have to say so sorry about that. Oh yes. A Spawny Git claimed to have been out drinking and stuff. Yeah right! Methinks he was sitting alone in his bedroom re-watching Blue Velvet for the millionth time. :) A girl (sorry I deleted the post and my memory isn't too good) wrote about her delicious substitute teacher. Don't say that! As I mentioned in my last post I am currently working as a substitute teacher and the thought that all the 12 year-old girls are lusting after me is highly disturbing. I mean, it's bad enough having to deal with the constant giggling and pointing and peculiar looks and I don't need to hear that this sort of thing is actually normal. I have two weeks to go. And another thing, why the hell do I never get this sort of attention from girls my own age? Maybe that's too much to ask. But anyway, if anyone out there is a teacher, how on earth do you deal with this sort of thing on a regular basis? Does anyone here like rap music? Do you listen to that Westwood chap? Is he taking the piss, or is he actually the most hilarious creature ever let loose on worldwide radio? I was accidentally exposed to some of his show last night and he struck me as the sort of person who is probably beaten the shit out of everywhere he goes, what with his "cool" Yankee rap slang and all performed in his slightly stoned English accent. Oh, cool. I just came up with some lovely harmonies for Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland 1945". I think it's romantic to be in love with a girl who died two decades before one was born. Does that make me sick? That reminds me of John Peel introducing Stereolab the other night, he was talking about his new sexual body donor card. It's not the kind that allows doctors to use your body parts for medical causes. Oh no, this is a card that allows people to shag you once you're dead, if they should have the inclination to do so. This I think is a very tolerant self-sacrifice and as such surely at the forefront of goodness. The card also features a small box to tick if you object to your body being dismembered during the act of naecropheliac (probably wrong spelling, never really learned to spell that word, funny enough) sex. Oh, by the way, if anyone wants to hear that Stereolab session I'll gladly trade copies for something nifty. Whilst I was in the nursery there was a thread about things up the nose. I've never actually stuck anything up my nose, but I remember one time I was eating some extremely spicy tacos when suddenly I choked on some meat and then it went up that secret passage between the throat and the nose so that I had found myself with very, very hot Mexican food coming out of my nose. That was not pleasant, not at all. As for an ideal childhood I think that would have to involve living somewhere in Yorkshire on a farm. When I was younger my favorite TV series used to be All Creatures Great And Small and I thought that whole country practice veterinarian (sp?) thing looked very romantic. Which was probably silly of me as I now can't see anything romantic about having to put little rabbits "to sleep" (when officially the rodent's just off to live with some kid's aunt, in Scotland.) and sticking your entire arm up some randy bull's bum. Okay then, I reckon that's about enough. I'm off to drink all the Martini my younger sister keeps in her closet hiding it from our fanatic teetotaller-parents. Chin chin.
