it's nearly a whole week since robin made his outrageous implications about my smuttiness, and only now am i responding to the traditional irresistible sinister lure of seeing one's name mentioned (albeit in dubious context). but here i am. just back from an exhausting uk (west coast only) tour of strip joints and nudist beaches. it's also now quite late to comment on the angelina jolie/b&s merger, i suppose. but i am thrilled at the prospect and consider angelina an indie enough proposition (despite tomb raider) not to blow the the band's cover and expose them as, god forbid, a pop group. the only question is: will the fans mistake angelina's lips for isabel's posterior and vice versa...? content (unrelated to isabel's arse): my housemate is now working with struan's old best mate colin at the ymca in brighton. but third hand gossip about stuart as a bairn will only passed on if strictly in the public interest (or dirty). spent the weekend in colchester with ex-yorkies. thinking about it, in our day the assembled company could almost have been a prototype york massive (non-sinister apart from me, but all b&s fans). we had an excellent time despite being in colchester - amongst other things, went to a playground and i got my arse jammed in a slide and said 'shit' in front of a toddler. we also listened to kings of convenience a lot and i can report to the unconverted that they improve greatly combined with laughter, wine and spanish omelette. i also want to mention that on the train home i finished reading the dice man, a book about which i have oddly mixed feelings. i find myself frequently wanting to make 'dice decisions', while also feeling slightly sick/disappointed at the directions the novel takes. any thoughts? snake eyes: i go and change my life any other combination: i go to bed wow - i feel so liberated now i've turned my life over to chance. night night. luv archel xxx on the stereo: pet sounds in the street: seagull sounds *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords@bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
