Ring,ring:is anyone left out there? A sigh of relief had traveled the whole circle of the Algonquin Table regularly booked for Sinister when that article got published today in The Guardian-Online about the unimportance of content in the total process of electronic communication,judging by the sudden increase of messages honouring my humble mailbox.Allegedly,the zeal and urge to communicate something or even nothing is the core and could semiotics turn the light off when leaving,thanks?. I absolutely refuse to add how long it takes me to write a message,because of two simple reasons : a)There would be no excuse to justify than spending such a generous amount of time my efforts to entertain you cannot crystallize in anything better than this,for instance, and b) summing up one's existence in quantities provides certain BridgetJonesy qualities.Is it 37 mins 12 sec good enough?Poor?I should read more carefully those glossy girlie mags next time to know if my stipulated amount of time devoted to Sinister is what a girl of 26 and 5 feet 5 inches should be doing.Not sure about the inches,I had lately a bad experience with rulers... About Fraulein Dagmar Vroom's mum assesment method: can one claim automatic writing ?Surrealism is a bit demode,but don't know if enough to make a convincing comeback.And I found ironing a much more necessary touch on a man too nowadays,very rare occasion is to greet a 20something male with no creases and no sarcasm to cover that sign of laziness instead. So Burt Bacharach could not make Glastonbury after dancing in some laddie club one of his own songs.He never was a 13 years old girl,oh well. xxx A. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
