hey people to compliment jonathan's post regarding televison, I've lately become intrigued with a show called "celebrity boxing". it's apparently broadcast in north america and features various "zlist" celebs who actually box! how fantastic. is it true? to more mundane things (yay!) life here, though I might whine, complain and try not to post too frequently about it, is equally fine. I've relocated to manchester after 6 months with dumb brums who of course are not at all dumb an just sound that way to outsiders who cant understand why speak so gradually. its just precise. I think. which leads me to mention a recent discovery about the self. I'd long thought I was nothing like my father. unlike him I am excitable, have interest in subjects other than gardening, valve widths or the state of my gout / cabbages/ assorted other weekly obsessions and think I rush around quickly. But over time, at work especially, Ive noticed that as folks run out of the building to the city below, lunch , home or toilet, I have long been left behind, like the kid who couldnt get her jacket on properly at school and others said "rooooooootttthhh" in a long drawn out kind of doh fashion as she scrabbled to get her stuff together, as they still do. At a "getting to know each others name" social-work (event) this evening I , having drifted off a bit, re engaged into conversation to find my boss doing a canny inpression of me precisely placing objects into my various bags "she's the slowest person alive! like this.. place, place, place mumbling this goes here and the phone here and the..." Now if I were I more sensitive soul may have take this to heart, but no, I instead felt proud to be precise like my dad. some girls are slower than others? to return to the point of recently having moved back to mancheser, I am slihtly overwhelmed by the lack of boredom and increase in social comitments Its so weird! I actually have things to say occasssionally... BUT! amongst this plethora of social whirl I would love to meet other sinisterines who might be in the area, perhaps to see a band and for starters at short notice I might recommend the CITY:LIVE night on monday @ roadhouse manchester england (sorry to most of list!) featuring the amazing Moco. you needent even speak to me! just go! they ROCK! a quick thank you to colin for the tape tree, james for the CD burning service and david for being very very lovely ruthx _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
