Sinister: celebrity boxing

[Ruth Allan]

hey people

to compliment jonathan's post regarding televison, I've lately become 
intrigued with a show called "celebrity boxing". it's apparently broadcast 
in north america and features various "zlist" celebs who actually box!  how 
fantastic. is it true?

to more mundane things (yay!) life here, though I might whine, complain and 
try not to post too frequently about it, is equally fine. I've  relocated to 
manchester after 6 months with dumb brums who of course are not at all dumb 
an just sound that way to outsiders who cant understand why speak so 
gradually. its just precise. I think.

which leads me to mention a recent discovery about the self. I'd long 
thought I was nothing like my father. unlike him I am excitable, have 
interest in subjects other than gardening, valve widths or the state of my 
gout / cabbages/ assorted other weekly obsessions and think I rush around 
quickly. But over time, at work especially, Ive noticed that as folks run 
out of the building to the city below, lunch , home or toilet, I have long 
been left behind, like the kid who couldnt get her jacket on properly at 
school and others said "rooooooootttthhh" in a long drawn out kind of doh 
fashion as she scrabbled to get her stuff together, as they still do. At a 
"getting to know each others name" social-work (event) this evening I , 
having drifted off a bit, re engaged into conversation to find my boss doing 
a canny inpression of me precisely placing objects into my various bags  
"she's the slowest person alive! like this.. place, place, place mumbling 
this goes here and the phone here and the..." Now if I were I more sensitive 
soul may have take this to heart, but no, I instead felt proud to be precise 
like my dad. some girls are slower than others?

to return to the point of recently having moved back to mancheser, I am 
slihtly overwhelmed by the lack of boredom and increase in social comitments 
Its so weird! I actually have things to say occasssionally... BUT! amongst 
this plethora of social whirl I would love to meet other sinisterines who 
might be in the area, perhaps to see a band and for starters at short notice 
I might recommend the CITY:LIVE night on monday @ roadhouse manchester 
england (sorry to most of list!) featuring the amazing Moco. you needent 
even speak to me! just go! they ROCK!

a quick thank you to colin for the tape tree, james for the CD burning 
service and david for being very very lovely

ruthx
