Sinister: selling tshirts, stalking stuart murdoch, 'the boy', breaking DDR and more......

[michael grant]

sha-sha!

hello everyone. how's things? good i hope. :o)

camera obscura are playing a gig in edinburgh tonight. but more importantly 
than that, i am selling tshirts. and possibly cds. and possibly badges. how 
cool is that?

i followed stuart murdoch down byres road yesterday. does that make me  a 
bad man? he walked past me, and i just kinda turned round and followed him 
back up the street. i know it's an obsessive stalker thing to do, but i just 
couldnt help myself. he turned up roxburgh street and i thought to follow 
him all the way up there might be taking things a tad too far.

should i go to reading? i can't really afford it, although i have already 
bought my ticket and my friends have offered to pay train fare and 
accommodation for my birthday, but....
it's just an expense i can't deal with right now. and i'd rather stay home 
and be in slightly less debt than go away and have a crap weekend moaning 
about having no money. and i can go see the moldy peaches in glasgow that 
weekend anyway (miss kimya dawson put me on the guestlist, *namedrop* 
*namedrop*).
so does anyone want a weekend ticket for reading?

a month later than originally planned, i met 'the boy' last night. to talk. 
it was lovely. we just chatted for hours. it's so bizarre to feel this way 
about someone, yet to feel so comfortable in their presence. now i'm just 
giving him a chance to have a think. even though he knew what i was going to 
say, he said that having it out in the open fucked with his head a bit. he 
said i made him smile. he said i made him feel awkward, and that was a good 
thing. he said he was going to be bruised today from grinning so much. it 
was wonderful. i'm still expecting the 'i'm flattered, but...' speech when 
he's done with his thinking, but i'm much less sure about it now than i was 
this time yesterday. but i don't want to get ahead of myself. :o)

thomas asked about my birthday pre-popleague drinking. hmmm, it's a friday, 
so a daytime picnic will probably be out of the question, seeing as some of 
you people have proper jobs. fools. pewter pot across the road from the WSC 
at 7? will that do? if anyone desperately feels the need for a picnic, then 
we can meet in the botanics earlier on, but only if it's sunny.

this one was taken in a pub on cockburn street in edinburgh this april. a 
boy, having just spat mashed-up cookies over the shoes of a norwegian girl, 
is clambering over tables and chairs to get to the bar. as he does so, his 
ass is being grabbed by a dirty australian, among others. everyone is 
laughing, smiling and being drunkenly merry.

i tried to tell the boy about you last night, but i just couldnt find the 
words. it just doesnt do you justice to say, "an internet mailing list for 
belle and sebastian fans". does anyone know of a decent way to get across 
the *sparkle* of sinister to the uninitiated?

i broke a DDR machine. woops. :o) my dancing is just too funky. apparently 
they're waiting for a new part for the machine, but are still letting people 
dance on it. fools.

right, i'm off to learn the camera obscura album word for word so i can 
shout along tonight, hopefully see lots of you there,
