Hello Sinister. Happy new year. It struck me, shortly after midnight, that I never got around to posting my list of favourite records of 2002. I shan't bother now - I feel I've somewhat missed the boat - but I will say that I did like the Lambchop, DJ Shadow and Low records, among others. New year always has a strange air to it, I feel. There's an "enforced fun" element where you have to, regardless of your mood, party. Heck! It's new year's eve! The beginning of a new year! Let's celebrate! I have no real problem with enforced fun, though, as long as its mandatory nature doesn't take away the fun. I was going to have a party at my house, but then that didn't happen, so instead a few of us did went down into the centre of town to watch Big Ben click round from 11:59. I'd never done that before, and it was quite strange; there was so much noise and bustle that you didn't even hear the bells chime. That was perhaps the biggest anti-climax of the lot. It was still an interesting experience though. <<Asm raises a virtual pint>> Here's to all those new resolutions, already broken. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mandy Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
