Sinister: We're taking over the world...

[poetry place2]

We are you know. It seems like I can't step out my front door without
tripping over stray sinisterines. (incidentally, "sinisterine" reminds me
of "listerine", especially the dragon with haliotosis and Leslie Phillips'
voice).
Just last night I was out at the Poetry Library on the Southbank, filling
in my borrowing form. "I know that name" says the girl behind the desk.
"um, I work for the Poetry Society" says I, a little sheepishly. "No, no,
you're from the Belle and Sebastian mailing list, aren't you???!!!!" Our
celebrity knows no bounds...

Funny you should mention it, as I've just got the ink polaroids back from
the developers. It was a terrific night, and in fact we plan to hold a
similar event on the first Friday of every month. Come and join us!!

Here's a polaroid from the cafe..

On the left Katrina is trying to persuade James that "rek" is a real word.

another bottle of wine.

Later that evening I had the latest in my series of list-dreams. I dreamt
that I was sharing a bed with Tag, and as he tossed and turned in his
sleep, his lily-white legs were glinting in the moonlight.

I'm sure it was a dream. Wasn't it? WASN'T IT??
