Sinister: sheep, sheep, sheep, *tree*, sheep
Sorry about the subject line. I can never think of good subject lines. I hope you're all having fun out their in your little worlds. Not throwing bricks or fireworks or anything at each other. Even teddy bears. I was thinking, today, about general things. Well, I was walking along, humming songs from Tigermilk -- as you do -- and idly thinking about things. As you do. And so, I got to humming to myself, "Do something pretty while you can." Now, the ever-alert Joan of Dark pointed out last week that sometimes Belle and Sebastian feel like they've become a way of life. And if you walk down the street humming their songs to yourself, then that must be true. So, therefore, we should all try to do something pretty while we can, in case we can't tomorrow. If someone sends you nasty email, don't rise to it and annoy everyone. Ignore them and the world will be a happier place. If there is someone you love, send them a message and tell them. Wait an hour, and send them another. Keep doing it, and you'll feel like you're together. If they don't know, that's probably not *such* a good idea. They might get scared and never talk to you again. If you're bored and have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Go to somewhere you've never been. Look at a map, and go to somewhere just because you like the sound of its name. See what somewhere looks like from a slightly different angle. Take photographs. If you can't leave the house, don't just watch TV. Do something. Write something, or make something. Do something inspirational, and write a book about it. If nothing else, be nice to a cat; they usually appreciate it. If you don't have a cat, you could always send Princess Honey something nice; I'm sure she would appreciate it too. Whatever you do do, make sure it's something that you enjoy doing. Like humming Tigermilk to yourself, whilst walking through the city.

im writing a post cause i feel like it. i did everything on will's list of "pretty things" does that make me pretty? if i die tomorrow, do i win? i like driving random places and i dont have a tv. that band om nam shivaya, or whatever, reminds me of what that guy says in indiana jones and the temple of doom right before he gets his heart ripped out, is that how they got their name? speaking of bands that have names, the gigolo aunts. does anyone know this band, and how they got their name, or what a gigolo aunt is. syd barret wrote a song called "gigolo aunt" and he's from cambridge, england. the gigolo aunts are from cambridge, mass. this is the kind of stuff that makes me think, "did i really need to buy EIGHT copies of Breakfast of Champions?" speaking of indiana jones, does anyone know what that nazi guy says in the first one that sounds like, "heely clum." when he shows the burn on his hand. what does he say? my brother said if he ever had a band he'd name it the "heely clums" speaking of sports, i used to sing belle and sebastian songs in my head while going through arduous football practices. doing sprints or any exercise in general is a lot more pleasant if you are singing "oh get me away from here im dying." etc etc. americans are stupid because when they try to transcribe belle and/or sebastian songs, they do it with all sorts of crazy flats and sharps. they dont realize that in britain they tune the guitars down a half a step. doing that allows you to play b and s with nice user friendly g's, c's and d's and such. silly americans. in conclusion, give me a donut. -jer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

that band om nam shivaya, or whatever, reminds me of what that guy says in indiana jones and the temple of doom right before he gets his heart ripped out, is that how they got their name?
it's a traditional hindu mantra, "om nama shivaya", basically meaning "praise be to the god shiva", and supposedly summons shiva into your life. i don't know that band so that may or may not be where they learned the phrase, but it's not the only place.
speaking of indiana jones, does anyone know what that nazi guy says in the first one that sounds like, "heely clum." when he shows the burn on his hand. what does he say? my brother said if he ever had a band he'd name it the "heely clums"
he was just saluting and saying "heil hitler". at least that's how i've always understood it. i have no doughnut to offer though. jay "we were no match for their untamed wit" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
