THE FIRST BIT i don't write with arched anything these days, youn. far too much effort. tonight was a success for me because it included a) 2 screaming orgasms... YES, the cocktails and b) killing lots of soviets in goldeneye on my newly purchased but obviously ancient N64. ah, simple pleasures. POETRY despite the fact that his name is nearly nick hornby, and thus prone to making me gag, choke, swear and otherwise be ungracious, nick horne mentined two great 'r' words, ie rilke and roethke, and is therefore a Good Thing. i just fell in love with rilke recently. and i know the poetry parrot hasn't perched on my bits as yet, but in any case it seems to have bred, or at least shed spores in some kind of weird metaphorical creature way, cos pomes abound on sinister at the moment. and i'm going to add to the litter: Time and again, however well we know the landscape of love, and the little church-yard with lamenting names, and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others end: time and again we go out two together, under the old trees, lie down again and again between the flowers, face to face with the sky. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is poetry. worth learning german for, almost. ETCHASEX etch a sketch was/is grate. my best buddy and i both had one and he would design very accurate, straight lined cars etc, while i would write on them in wobbly writing not unlike my actual handwriting, which was usually wobbly due to writing with my left hand, which i had to do a lot as i broke my right arm 3 times between the ages of 8 and 12. i was like samuel l jackson in Unbreakable, only with better hair and less master criminal tendencies. anyway, there was a point about gender somewhere in there, but fortunately it got lost. HUFFNER you would think that darren hayman would now be able to afford to buy jumpers without holes in them. indie london may be his milieu, and i'm sure holey jumpers are still trendy there (hmm) but even so he must be rather cold in such attire at this time of year. maybe they are hand-knitted by someone as inept as me though. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN (only joking, of course) in the absence of real b&s a-c-t-i-o-n, displacement activities have taken over i suppose. ring tones... screensavers... badges... i have a small notebook for work use which has on its spine 'pocketbook angel', which is really stupid but i do take a little secret pleasure in the fact that no-one but me knows what the fuck it means. hee hee. THE ICEMAN COMETH we have just been delivered of a monolithic new fridge/freezer (it may incorporate a small bedroom for an eskimo too, in fact). it blocks out the light, but you know what - it's okay, cos there's all the more room for our magnetic poetry. yay! although you can always tell when we've had a party because some drunken male has composed a pornographic epic. lovely. oh, that was all. eat: smarties drink: baileys write for: buzzwords. love in a cold climate, archel xxx *************************************** 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 undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
