Sinister: emerging from lurkerdom..

[bethan macleod]

hello to everybody in sinister-land,

so, here it is.  my first ever post.

This is a bit like that awkward moment when you walk up to a group of people 
who are already deep in conversation and try to think of something to say so 
you can join in.  I just wanted to tell you all how much i've loved reading 
your posts over the last few months.  I work at a university, doing routine 
administration in a peaceful, but dull office.  Sinister posts are like 
little beams of sunshine breaking up the monotony.

Yesterday was really cold, but bright and clear.  I went on a massive bike 
ride all the way to the Thames.  The light was just perfect for taking 
pictures.  I've got this big old camera that I sort of inherited from the 
next door neighbours.  It's really nice but you have to set all the settings 
manually, which i'm not particulaly good at.  I'm impressed with Will's idea 
of a pictorial autobiography.  I don't really have anything that adventurous 
in mind.  I mostly just try to take photos of normal things in a way that 
makes them look kind of special.  I love surrealism too though, Will.  
Wouldn't it be fantastic to smoke loads of opium in the name of art?

It has taken me pretty much all day to read the weekend's posts (I had to do 
a little bit of work in between though, otherwise they may stop paying me).  
I liked Tom's names for his local cows.  It's ages since i've been to the 
countryside.  I also need to ask Stu - what is korfball?  Or am i missing 
something?

Still haven't heard the new single, but i must say i do like the gaudy, yet 
still lovable sleeve.

well, bye for now then,

beth
