hello people, Is anyone else finding it difficult to concentrate on ANYTHING at the moment? Summer is great.....if you don't have to work during the day. And even if I wasn't working during the day, the weather is unbelievably crap here: it's all muggy and horrible, but without all the sunshine that usually goes along with summer. And I had to get a job with a company whose office is on the industrial estate where the sun never shines, and we're lucky if there's no haar (sp?) coming in off the sea. (anyone in Aberdeen will know exactly where I mean....). I have spent most of this morning listening to new cds on borrowed headphones at work; idleberry recommended the appendix out album 'the night is advancing', and it truly is grate. Also grate is the film I went to see last night at my friendly local arthouse cinema (or the closest aberdeen has to such a thing); it's called 'code unknown' and is a french film, it has juliette binoche in and was up for awards at cannes, so i assume it will be on fairly wide release, and I thought it was fantastic, quite frankly. My cinema partner didn't like it quite as much, he said it didn't have much of a 'theme' (he's a conceptual artist, so these things are quite important to him; I'm a science person, so I'm not fussy),and he liked shrek better, but he still agreed it was a Good Film. Go and see it if you like people-watching. Don't go and see it if you like car chases, explosions, or plots that involve somebody killing the butler, and everyone thinbking it was the cook, but then it was actually the cook's arch-enemy back from a long trip, dressed as the cook, and the cook was actually in the coal bunker, dead, all the time. (see? I could write detective novels, no problem). Content for this post is that I may be in London for the next picnic, depending on money and whether the lovely priscila can put up with me for a whole weekend. I've got several pairs of knickers in various hues packed already. Congratualtions to Jenowl on getting straight ones in her exams. And congratulations to richard's mum for making sure jenowl got to find out she got straight ones in her exams before she had to draw her pension. And no congratulations for me for successfully spelling 'congratulations'.... This may seem like a silly question so ask on sinister, but it's almost twee, so... does anyone know of any nice places to go on holiday in spain? I'm looking for something out of all the resorts, a little cottage or villa or something in the mountains, to take a week's holiday in september, so if anyone knows of anywhere, or any good travel agent-type places where i might find somewhere, please email me off-list. Any advice on which part of spain is nicest for that sort of thing would also be appreciated, as I haven't even decided that much yet. And what's happened to all the posts??? Show some consideration for those of us who have to work all day, and rely on sinister posts to entertain us!! Everyone post more, post every day, ten posts a day. Or, alternatively, avoid being thrown off sinister, and send me stuff instead. take care, lyns --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using DISS Web Mail. http://www.abdn.ac.uk/local/mailman/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
