I'm a photographer, and I also play the flute.  I like this joiner spirit,
although perhaps we can have a Sinister Band, just regular without the
marching, for those of us who can't even walk and chew gum at the same
time, let alone try and tackle an instrument and march.  We should maybe
have a Sinister Jazz Ensemble, so that guitarists and bass players don't
feel left out.  Oh, and of course, the Sinister Yearbook, or the Sinister
Newspaper, or both, so that they can be filled up with real photos and Ink
Polaroids and essays and poems, and maybe a little 'Want Ads' section in
the back for people who would like Tigermilk taped, and then a parallel
list of those who are willing to do the deed.

I'm Canadian (Toronto's my home), and I've just been hiding due to shyness
and homework.  I quite enjoy the overwhelming British-ness of some of the
messages...using foreign terms comes across as more passionate, I think.
Well, sometimes, anyways.  Us North Americans are just jealous because we
can't say flash things like 'crikey' or 'I'll give him a ring' or 'on the
telly' without looking pretentious, and British folk pass them off with
such ease.  Lucky ducks.

On a tangent, has anyone made their own Belle and Sebastianopoly?  I keep
thinking about it, and what a hit it would be.

This was fun.  Perhaps I'll post more often.

truly,
