Sinister: what is the king's favourite cereal?

[Matthew Henderson]

KING VITAMIN!

So, how is everyone today?  That's good.  Or not, depending on how you 
answered the question.  Please, tell me about it while I feign interest.

I'm only joking.  You know I love you.

I'm back in Mobile, Alabama now.  Well, I have been for a few days, but 
anyway.  I'd like to give thanks to those sinisters that showed me a 
smashing time:  sarah, sweetie, the former archbishop of Glasgow (and regent 
of scotland for a time), and danny.  Cheers to you all, and thanks for the 
drinks.

So I'm supposed to be in my Ethics of Cyberpunk class right now, but I'm not 
going.  I was supposed to do a proposal for the big paper, but I realized 
last night, whilst trying to find sources, that it's just stupid.  Every 
essay we've read is just stating the obvious...in big words.  I just don't 
buy that Lawnmower man was meant as a post-modernist parable of any sort.  
In fact, I don't see the relevance of postmodernism, posthumanism, and 
postfuturism at all.  Who cares?  Why is this important?  There is just no 
way to justify a crap movie like Lawnmower Man.  Yes, big corporations rule 
the world.  Okay, the net is the avenue of the future.  Soon, we'll have 
technological implants.  But all I have to do is read the damn book or watch 
the damn movie to understand that.  Why read hundreds of pages of critics 
and authors to say this, only in a pretentious manner?  So yes, I might drop 
that class.  Maybe I'm just lazy.

Instead, I decided to watch my newly purchased Rings around the World DVD.  
Aaah, the joys of life.

Other big Matt news...I have a date!  Yes!  She is quite possibly the only 
other person in my area code to own (and wear) a belle and sebastian shirt!  
How impressive is that?  But I've never been on a proper date, so I don't 
know what to do.  What music should I play when I pick her up?  Should I act 
all suave and nonchalant?  Or should I try to be romantic and bring her a 
flower or some old cliche from the vaults?  What should I dress like?  oooh, 
I wish things were easier.  I wish we all had some sort of birthmarks on us, 
and when we found the other person with the same birthmark, we would know 
they are our mate for life.  No matter what we do, they'd still love us, and 
we wouldn't have to worry about appearances or wonder if they like us and 
all that jazz.  Wouldn't it just be easier?

I also have a band.  We're playing our first gig on April 20th!  and we have 
an EGGSHAKER!!! it's so exciting.  We were called Elephant's Gerald, but 
that's taken, so we went with the name I preferred, Charging Chuck and the 
Tanuki Suits.  And we're playing Judy and the Dream of Horses.  That counts 
as content.

Well, less than two months away from the US shows.  I'd better get my car 
fixed.

And remember, Don't let your chicken fingers be made by the hands of 
oppression.

-Matt
