Sinister: horoscopes, easter eggs, jobs, treasure hunts, and auntybots

[idleberry]

hello sinisterettes and sinisterians!

A few weeks ago, Kate Keenan off the list pointed me
in the direction of a cool site for horoscopes. It was
odd, becuase so far, the predictions have been pretty
spot on. But the cool thing is, that they have a
banner for an ad for another site, and the banner ad
is using b+s cover as part of its ad, for "flap your
wings child, and cook like its pleasant". Yes, that
little heard of other album, the rare one, that I've
just made up, as a play on words of their 2000 album
with the long winded title. the site with the accurate
horoscope, is at http://www.freewillastrology.com/
if you're interested. 

I dunno if shes back and kicking with a new hip or
something, but I noticed auntsadie has gone missing
from #sinister. Has she run off with a handsome young
man, or is she just down the bingo with the other
auntybots?

other news:
I got a job! I'm starting work at the Scottish
Executive (Executive for what? some of you may ask, or
indeed, might not care, but its the scottish parliment
stuff, if you're curious)as an administrator. it was
quite od the interview. It was informal, and there
were three people there, and there were three admin
posts going, and I don't know quite which one they
want me for. I'm pleased though, and start in a few
weeks time, becuase its a proper job, with a proper
salary, and all the benefit shennanigans that normal
people with proper jobs are entitled to (sick pay!
holiday pay! woo! don't knock it 'til you haven't had
it!)

Easter is upon us soon, but I'm not sure when it is,
cos I'm never actually sure of things like that. But
anyway, I think Belle And Sebastian Easter Eggs are
only a merchandising plot away. Peel off the foil, and
find Stuarts face engraved in chocolate. Of course, it
couldn't be a hollow egg, that would suggest he has
nowt up there. maybe it would be filled with magnetic
poetry or something. Or money. That would be good.
real money, not monopoly money. Chocolate coins would
also be an acceptable currency, to turn us all into
fat cats.

So, what was the prize of the treasure hunt anyway?
and what were the answers?

Anyhows, I'm off to browse the web, and things.

Hopethis e mail has been slightly informative, or at
least mildly entertaining.

Love,

idles
