"Good morning, Sinister, how can I help you?" Hey. guess who got a job? meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Todays my last day though, and I start a new one on Monday. Its just working at reception for a big company with a big office in Embra, with loads of lovely bannisters you'd like to slide down, sept I'm scared of heights (and a few other things.. but not a lot cos I'm hard like that.) so I wouldn't slide down them myself. I'm allowed to access the net as well, cos theres not much else going on. Which means I sit here reading e mails, particularly the sinister digests every morning. Almost as good as a newspaper delivered to your door. So you know, if any of you fancy e mailing me this morning (or this afternoon) on Friday, and keeping me entertained and stuff, feel free. Okay. so, Angelina Jolie+Belle+Sebastian, huh? hmm. It could be grate. It could be awful. I mean, imagine... its going to be in loads of newspapers and stuff in the "stars gossip" columns. The little man in the newsagent will read about it in his copy of the Sun. The bus drivers will read about it in the Mirror during their tea breaks (which, incidentally, they take just as you're running late, and want the bus to drive round the corner on time). Your boss will read about it in the Mail. And the headlines will be something along the lines of "Hollywood star to duet with Brit Award Scandal Band". Only punchier, and more puns. I'm never gonna be a journo unless I can think of good headlines. Lazy Line Painter Jolie? Hmm. "Like Jolie In the Movies"? uhhh. Anyway. Then there will be this huge thing, where all these kewl wee trendies buy it, whatever it is, and then B+S will get to number 5, and there will be loads of hoohaha til Posh Spice splits her knickers and the paparazzi chase her. Then when B+S do another single or something.. what will happen? Will Chris Geddes get stalked by paparazzi when he nips out in the morning to buy his milk for his Frosties? Will Stuart Murdochs sordid lovelife get splashed across the second page, opposite some page three girl? Will Isobel Campbell reiterate Garbo's line "I vant to be alone" ? Will Mick Cooke start dating All Saints members and hang out at the Met Bar? Will Richard Colburn get asked to be a naked centrefold by Cosmopolitan magazine? More importantly, would he do it? (I dunno if I really want to know the answer to this one.) And then what? will the new legion of fickle teenypoppers drop B+S like a luke warm potato when Britney Spears releases a new single? And what of we, sinister? shall we have to pick up all the pieces when it all gets too much? Will we get laughed at in the street when it all goes down the drain, for being fans of those "one hit wonders"? I mean, we know what we're talking about, but theres a lot of folk who don't. who knows, kids, who knows. Someone said something on sinister about how there was all this America vs Scotland thing. I don't think thats acurate at all. I mean, I think at points, and I know Honey would rather I didn't analysise it, but you know, it got out of hand, turning into this nation vs nation thing. And I don't think its fair to say it was really. It was a matter of different opinions. I don't recommend it to anyone. I remember what happened last time I tried it and called America a bunch of thingies and said we should build a fence round them, and oops. I think I hit a sore point. Apparently people don't like you doing that. Dunno why not. *shrugs* And yeah, Johnjohn isn't scary. Hes lovely. I'd adopt him if I could. there was something else I was thinking of but I can't remember what it was/ is. Oh hang on.. yes I can. Ken Chus Cheerleading Squad. what colours do they wear? Ta. all for now. needing entertainment (please) idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
