Sinister: Conditioners Prettiest Evil.

[alix campbell]

hello

(the mists of time dawned on me, so i got up and opened the curtains)

ally cooke mentioned curtains. my dad was fanatic about closing the 
curtains, to retain heat. i always liked the way that 'drawing the curtains' 
could mean either opening or closing them. or depicting them in pencil. i 
don't like sleeping with the curtains shut though. i feel like  vampire.

(if i'd had a penny for every time i'd said kajagoogoo i wouldn't be eating 
crab sticks now)

it's been a while, i've not been able to get it together to concentrate long 
enough to post. even now i don't know if this will get cancelled and i shall 
start again some other time. you may never know these words existed. still, 
here's to a maybe.

again i have found myself ending things and leaving jobs and houses. finally 
i went to university. its' decidedly bland. rediscovered shyness in the 
process. i am slighty homeless as a result. this is bad.

(i still believe in magic carpets)

martin (who is odd and talks to the TV) mentioned Constant Spray. i wonder 
if he has heard an early ep of theirs with 'filofax sad parade' and 'if 
seagulls weren't airborne would we still be shipshape?' on it. the ep also 
has 'laminate the landmarks' as a hidden track. at least, i think that's 
what it's called. it could be a version of 'tesselate tesselate or wait' 
though.  this was before they adopted el lingua de dios, or volapuk as we 
know it nowadays, and simply sung in their native language. more recently 
though, i thought '3am wait for mr milko' was superb. much better than live 
versions.

i visited the tate modern today. it's an impressive space. shame about all 
that art they've left in there.

i shall be going to scalarama llama. i'll be the one with the badge that 
says 'don't get to know me'

(i'd give anything for a giant marble egg, but how would i incubate it?)
