Dear Sinister, I haven't written for a while, and when I did before my posts weren't terribly important, relevent, or interesting. Neither is this one, but I felt like writing. I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, I even called in sick to work. I feel so guilty, aren't I a geek? My job is quite awful, I get paid shit, yet I feel bad. I'm really the perfect employee, no spine whatsoever. Hmm, oh well, I think I deserve the time off. Well, somebody mentioned that they were tired of hearing about missed opportunities, so I'd just like to report that the other day I stayed after work a bit longer than usual to walk a girl home. We got along fairly well (she even laughed at my stupid little jokes), I think I'll ask her to have coffee or something with me. I hate coffee, but I'll stomach it for her, she seems to like it. I think that counts as taking an opportunity, no snogging, but still... I'd just like to say that I think Beyond the Sunrise is one of the best songs off FYHCYWLAP, along with Fought in a War and Family Tree. I liked the interpretations posted. When I first heard it I thought it was a biblical reference. I miss-heard the line, "His eyes were sure that heaven was not her scene" as "He was sure that heaven was not her seed". An alternate version of the annunciation or something. I still think it is an awfully pretty song. The other day I went shopping and found some great stuff. At one store they had this almost life-size Crucifix (well, Christ was almost life-size at least) that lit up, it was $300 so I of course didn't buy it. I also found a 'commie-kit' that had a record of the 'ode to chairman mao' and a uniform from the days of mao. It was a bit too expensive too, but I thought it would be a great gift for my far too patriotic friend. Almost as great as the lighter that played the communist anthem when you opened it. Anyway, I ended up buying a copy of the Looper 45, the new Kings of Convenience albumn (which is great!), some pants (a little small, but thats ok, they were cheap), a great shirt that is white, kinda western looking, and has snap buttons (including three on each sleave). All in all, a good shopping trip. When I was crossing the street there was this very agitated man asking out a completely terrified woman on the street. He kept asking why she wouldn't go out with him, what was wrong, that he didn't mind but he just wanted to know why. I think he had faced a bit too much rejection lately, but the poor chap needed to learn about tact. hmm, thats all I have to say for now. I need some sleep. -- Tim +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
