Hiya, How strange. I was sitting at work today thinking about posting to sinister. I was thinking about all the sinister adventures, and sinister # chats and sinister friends and started to feel all nostalgic. Then I came home and logged into my sinister emailing account and found millions and millions of emails. Maybe summer is just a sinister time of year. Onto posting about my thoughts from work. "Arghh, die stupid boss person! I can not do any more work then you are currently giving me. Leave me alone stupid customers on the phone. I'm sorry we can't send you what you order in 20 seconds flat but you live in the other end of the country. Wait it wasn't those thoughts I meant. We were driving through Northumbria. Bright sun flashes dancing in front our eyes. We were listening to "If you are feeling sinister" recorded live at the barbican. I like listening to that and thinking about people I know dancing and smiling and singing. I drunk shloer out of the bottle to my imagined disapproval of on looking cars. "Drinking a soft drink which looks like wine at 10am in the morning. Straight out of the bottle too. What is the world coming to?" A fly smashed into the windscreen smearing blood that looked like jam. I felt kind of happy and sad all at once. Sometimes all those people and places seem so far away and so long ago - they were good people and good times (Too sentimental? Yes.) But, I'm excited by all this posting. Picnics are good! & I am coming! People have also been talking about ipods dying. I when I first ever posted I wrote about my cassette walkman dying. Technology moves so fast. I can't keep up. I listened to my first ever podcast this week by ballboy (http://www.ballboymusic.com/downloads/ballboypodcast.mp3). I'm not even sure what makes a podcast a podcast but this one involves talking and singing and drinking beer. I like ballboy. They feel like B&S to me. They don't sound like B&S to me though. But they mean something, they make me feel something. I'm obsessive about them. I must go now. I have to pack and get ready to see sini-kid Grainne! See you soon. It'll be great!
