Hiya poppets! To all the people who've subscribed since I started university and got lumbered with a tragically user-unfriendly email system, a big HELLO! I'm sure you're all just as happy and bunnylike as everyone else on the list. Just don't send unsubscribes to sinister...;) Anyway, so I started at the big old posh place that is Oxford University a couple of weeks back, didn't do nearly as much work as the people doing Law, Biochemistry etc. to begin with, but now I have my own studio space and a big old load of oil paint to use up. And naked people and skellingtons to draw a couple of times a week. Ooh, and I get to do pickled organs in jars later on as well! Does anyone envy me this fabulous chance? Anyhoo, so I've been enjoying myself greatly, but also pining a bit for your gorgeous company. But I'm quite glad I missed all the tantrums that seem to have gone on recently. And I'm on the digest now, so I get all the slagging, fluffy kittens (or foxes, if you will) and political rhetoric in neat bundles. Hah! Seeing the Lucksmiths in old Lunnon Tahn in nuffink, mate! I saw them in NEW YORK CITY in September. In Ed Shelflife's basement, no less. And they are indeed lovely, bless their Oz cotton socks. Some of you have been _talking_ about me behind my virtual back. Is this a civilised way to behave? Tchah! Sandra and Carly: Christ knows what happened to your sparkly new tapes and IRCs, but I certainly didn't get them. I think they may have been eaten by a monster that likes the taste of Canadian timbres...:( If you can bear to send more tapes, I'll certainly do you copies, but if it's too dreadful to contemplate the stamp-monster again, I'm sure there are lots of sweet people in your vicinity who would be happy to oblige. Oh, and if you do want me to do copies, you'll need my new address. So mail me! Alas and alack! I miss Funkyseb and his voluminus hairdo. Ah well, such is life. More smut on the list! This is my election pledge... Right, I'll go off and do something terrifically cultured, shall I? Bye! Liz. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
