Sinister: bustin out

[andrew utter]

Hi everybody,

Just got out of nursery, feeling the need to get out and express myself.  
I've enjoyed all the grate posts, stories, discussions, wit and tweeness.  
But of late the traffic has been pretty heavy.  How do you all cope?  
Reading these posts is almost a fulltime job in itself, albeit an amusing 
one.

Where are all the New York area sinsterites? I live in Jersey City and work 
in Manhattan.  Why are we so underepresented? Does it have anything to do 
with the current tour?  Someone alluded to a North American east coast 
walkout.  Is that it?  Let's have a picnic!  We should all go up to the 
Cloisters in the fall.  I think that must be the ultimate NYC twee 
destination.

And who among us practice the sin the dare not speak its name?  C'mon, we 
wrote the book on twee, I'm sure you must be out there.  One of the most 
surprising things about the list for me is how thoroughly hetero it seems to 
be.  Unless I just haven't learned to read the signs.

There are no women in my office anymore so no one ever talks.  The list 
helps me feel in touch during the day.  I just hope I don't end up getting 
fired for spending all my time reading posts.

I went out and bought some new bedding and a down comforter yesterday, only 
to discover in the middle of the night that I seem to have developed an 
allergy to down.  I'll have to settle for something synthetic.  What a drag. 
  Down comforters are one of the great pleasures in life, sort of like the 
tactile equivalent of Morrisey singing "Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody 
Loved Me".  And my time with down comforters is over.  For good.  Barring 
huge medical advances in eliminating allergies.  It's almost like a little 
piece of my mortality.

Looking forward to getting to know all about all of you,

Andrew
