This is my first mail so I hope you like it and read it all ( Hey! Come back - you haven't read anything yet....*sigh*) Average kinda day today - pancakes, a bus, and some labs ( yup, I'm one of those students ). The bus isn't as cool as it sounds. Well, I used to think that a bus journey anywhere was pretty cool and somehow made the destination more exotic ( I dunno ) just because you had to get a bus there. But not this bus...nope..my bus was built circa 1972 , and has teeny tiny seats ( apparently people were shorter back then). It's made of lollipop sticks and chewing gum and has a door which is wont to open when the driver goes around a roundabout...( I love that added element of *actual* danger in the morning) What else? Errrmm..oh, entertainment is provided by Dave the bus driver's one tape; the bee gees..live. It was cool for the first few times but not anymore. Oh, and when the bus is getting full, Dave comes along the bus shouting, "Come on now lads, three to a seat, three to a seat" . This *always* ends up with three strangers staring at their knees, hoping that they won't have to start a conversation with one another. *sigh - I'mso hard done by * heehee. I've read this all back just now and I suppose the bus has some good points..cos well it's a bus and buses generally are good things. Maybe I need to go somewhere good in one , as opposed to college. As for teen movies, I've been having a bit of a teen movie fest over the last few weekends. I watched Mallrats ( nope ), Ferris Bueller's day off ( yes) , Clerks ( yes ), Pump up the volume ( yes - plus acoustic version of "wave of mutilation") , Suburbia ( nope - *nothing* happens), Empire records ( was supposed to be good , but y'know what - it's really boring) . As a rule of thumb, beware any teen movie that has "Great alternative soundtrack" on the cover. That's never ever a good sign. The Belle and Sebastian bit; I'm getting nervous about going up to the Dublin gig. I don't know anyone who's going, so I'm just going to turn up on my own and hope for the best. If anyone else is going, I'll be the short girl with the short hair, flowery shirt (+upside down Sebastian badge) and starry bag. Anyway b'bye louise oh again, that thing with the mix tapes always happens. I think it must be a mix tape law that you get that order of songs into your head and there it must stay until the end of time ( or you get a new tape ) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
