Sinister: in the roaring traffic's boom--in the silence of my lonely room

[richard john gillanders]

hello sinister,



I WISH THIS WAS A WORK OF ART.



THE FLAMING SCHLEPS

'jase' andreas said.  something.  he advises getting girls drunk so that they won't notice/remember you doing things to them?  haha.  think he shouldn't have sent that to a large mailing list.  can't think what he should've.

sometimes I wish I was subscribed to a large mauling list.  and then.

someone else seemed glad that ken's 'the weakest link' thing ended.  I can't decide if he was being haha or whatever.  either of them...   uh.  I enjoyed it.  ken's 'the weakest link' thing.  it was funny and really funny and I awaited each installment: I had to.  I want him to do a 'the chair' parody now.  but, since I've never seen a full one of the shows, I don't know if/how that could work.



I WENT TO AMERICA FOR SEPTEMBER AND OTHER STUFF AND HAD LOTS OF FUN

I went to america for september and other stuff and had lots of fun.

I was introduced to blatz beer and to 'american movie' and to, like I said, other stuff.

'american movie', though.  yeah.  there's a website for it here---> http://www.americanmovie.com

I'd never heard of it before.  but it's really good.  funny.  the people in it.  yeah.  funny.  two of the people in it were in 'storytelling' too.  this was really funny to me when I found out.  oh well.  it's senseless.

things continue as they should.


AND THEN I WENT TO LONDON

yeah.  so I left america at the end of september, not really wanting to.  after long flights and a five hour stop in the amsterdam: I was in london and ready to go to the chickfactor black & white ball thing.  well.  I was going.

all the people that lucy mentioned were there.  plus me.  and david moore and sally moore.  and maybe some others.  but she knows this.  in fact.  it was her who told me we were there.  I had had a suspicion.

it was really good.  yeah, the pines especially.  especially since I hadn't seen them play before.  and pipas were good.  even though I only caught the end of their SET.  and the future bible heroes were good too.  even if the g*ns*n and m*rr*tt insisted that the curtain to the almost balcony be drawn and the g*ns*n told someone to switch their video camera off and the m*rr*tt stole my [/an] ashtray.  well, jeez, he didn't even have the GUTS [/need] to do that; he got someone else to steal it for him.

"is anyone using this ashtray?" we were asked as the ashtray in question was lifted and its contents emptied into another not so close to where I and the people I was sitting with were sitting
"well..." said someone I was sitting with.
"it's for st*ph*n m*rr*tt." said the emptier and looked like they almost wanted to shrug and scampered off to PANDER SOME MORE.

but, yeah.

I met some nice people that I known of but hadn't met and now I have--they were nice.

and I saw some people I hadn't seen for a good while--they were pretty good too.

and the ones I'd seen most recently--yeah.



THUNDER ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING

haha.  okay.  I remember hearing a rumour that jim kerr owned the oko sushi bar on ingram street in glasgow.  and then I remember hearing that it WAS a rumour.  like, one that wasn't actually true.  and I thought it was funny.  a funny rumour to make up.  so I made a game in which you choose a piece of property in glasgow and a glaswegian 'famous' person and make a new rumour.  there's no real outcome.  unless you count the satisfaction of making a LIE.  we only ever played the game once though.  we said that ricky ross had bought bonkers.  [ricky ross was in deacon blue and bonkers is a bad club].  we even thought up something that he was going to rename it.  I don't know.  I also don't know why we haven't played this game again since.  oh, but since.  like, last weekend.  I found out that jim kerr part-owns the oko sushi bar on ingram street in glasgow.  so.




NO TITLE

c'mon kids.  it's been really quiet around here.  I know I haven't done much to, sort of, help.  but.  C'MON.  KIDS.

I remember sam walton posting a link to a page that had a lot of posts from a while back on.  there were some good posts then!!  not that it's just bad posts now...

I'll stop that.  I didn't mean it.  I mean: to do it.





I know I haven't not got worse...

I WAS GONNA MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT MIKE SCHANK BUT I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT.

love,
richard.
