I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy 2001. I, for one, had a spectacular New Years here visiting London. Got to meet several London sinister'ites at the New Years shindig. I was the mildly-drunk dancing asian boy with the maroon shoes. But in early retrospect, I think this year has marked a serious turning point in my life. Just last new years, I was bump n' grinding to Mobb Deep and wondering when the next Rawkus Hiphop LP was coming out. And NOW, Im twirling around harmonizing something about terry underwear and desperatly awaiting the next Tahiti80 EP. And at the risk of sounding incredibly corny, the world just seems so much cuter!! From hello kitty to polar bear pajamas to bumblebees to chef outfits to pudgy jewish boys to cibo matto - it seems everything these days induces japanese-schoolgirl giggles in me. I'm not sure, but right now, I'm attributing it to the music. Well, I also hope that you are all having a pleasant post-Christmas, exchanging questionable gifts you may have received. I was blessed with a 365-day Jeopardy calendar from mommy, a box of gummi-worms from my best friend, and a couple of CDs that I'm convinced my sister rummaged out of the bargain bin at Tower Records. If anyone is interested, I was just notified via email that there is up to 60% off over 200 styles and colors at gap.com I have 2 weeks until my semester in Paris begins. I'm nervous since I didn't send in a housing deposit to my university so now I must find a flat on my own. Anybody looking for a roommate in Paris, by the way? Or live there and want to play, or something? Also, happy Hannukah. Love, Phil-Two ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
