Hello Sinister, at long last I return. My long absence has been due to a lack of wit, and anything interesting to say. I finally realised that if everyone was witty and interesting, the world would be a very boring place. So I'll endeavour to make this post and dull and juvenile as possible. First of all, people have been mentioning the guardian and observer a lot recently, and I recently found quite an interesting article about the top 100 public intellectuals list. Apparently Henry Kissinger is top, ahead of George Orwell, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. It's at http://www.guardian.co.uk/internetnews/story/0,7369,636877,00.html and it's rather scary. It's also an example of some of some really good Grauniading (that really should be a word). People keep e-mailing and telling me how great Fast Cow is. People, I KNOW it's good, tell the list! Honestly, I'm very grateful though, and you're all wonderful. There has also been even more added, with a review of 'Honey, I'm an Artist' by Airport Girl, a yahoo groups list to keep people up to date with the updates and, best of all, a new cow called Brucie! That's at www.ciahq.fsnet.co.uk/fastcow by the way. The update list link is at the bottom of the main page. I've been missing Kara a lot recently, not that I don't anyway, and Ben Apps has now made me think that perhaps liking toss songs is the way forward for those in lose. I tried listening to 'How Do I Live' by our Leanne today, as it was playing in my local supermarket. I'm sorry, but it hurt, it really did. Perhaps it's a learned skill, or perhaps you 'have to be in the 'wow, I'm with someone amazing' phase, rather than the 'Oh dear, my love is too far away' one, I don't know. BRIGHTON meetup, I'm rather excited about that, should be rather fun to meet up with all those lovely people again. The only place I've been going recently is my uni's club night, Friday Flux, because my friends like to go. Their slogan is 'Get Fluxed on a Friday'. Glorious. I've never been Sillistrated and I haven't seen that film about Iris Murdoch yet, these are terrible things. www.ciahq.fsnet.co.uk/fastcow www.eurosexuals.co.uk Peter, half of the other great Sinister romance. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
