it's funny, no matter how many times i type 'sinister' i still keep getting it wrong. it must be one the easiest words to mistype ever (character is also tricky i find). but maybe this is just because of my own personal style of typing, ie. quite quickly but incredibly inefficiently with two fingers. alix, i have a teapot story to share. i was sitting in a cafe (owned by someone i know slightly) and was just admiring the teapot collection which they had arranged on the window sill. i was particularly taken with an orange one with flowers on, and the owner noticed and promptly gave it to me. now how often do you get given teapots in cafes? not that often, i would say, which is why i suppose i can't really recommend this way of acquiring said items, but still, it made my day. there could almost be a b&s song about it. 'the girl with the teapot in her sainsburys carrier bag'. you know, it's *not* just the music press who put labels on fans. fans do it themselves too, you can't pretend otherwise. and yes, perhaps we should 'get used to it', but it just seems sad that sometimes people can only feel good about themselves by attaching themselves to a band, a look, a proscribed lifestyle. (naturally i don't include the universally well-balanced sinisterines here...) oh, it's so lovely that someone's getting married! yuk, that sounded a bit gushy, but i just think it's nice. probably since all my friends think i'm going to be a bitter old maid due to foolish things i said in my youth (well, last week probably.) i haven't dared to do a public u-turn, drop my feminist stance and confess that i've been looking longingly at wedding dresses. i expect it's because it's spring. anyway, music: perhaps 'my wandering days are over' would be appropriate? although overall it's not particularly cheery i suppose. right, i'm off on holiday for a bit. see ya. (perhaps in the flesh at a picnic, who knows? i'll be the one not wearing indie glasses etc...) luv archel xxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth rap101@york.ac.uk http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm ***** do something pretty while you can don't be afraid skating a pirouette on ice is cool - belle and sebastian -------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
