Sinister: a dispatch from the north

[clairk at xxx.edu]

hello sinister,

It's been a while since I've written, owing to my lack of internet 
connection for more than like twenty minutes a day over this past summer. 
There wasn't terribly much to report, since I mostly worked in an office 
and did a lot of paperwork, and at night mostly played computer games and 
ate food I tried to cook before I went to bed at a reasonable hour to do it 
all over again the next day.

I went to Minneapolis a couple of times, though, which is always a 
thrilling excursion for the destitute Minnesota college student.  While 
there I made no trips to record stores of any sort, which was a 
disappointment, although I visited a number of Asian food stores and bought 
curry.  There was much consumption of curry this summer in our house, which 
was good.

Now I'm back in school again.  There's a new flock of freshmen on the floor 
I live on; they seem well enough although my attempts to find the excellent 
ones by playing Lazy Line Painter Jane consistently have resulted in little 
success, as I dunno if anyone around so far are Belle and Sebastian fans. 
I did like when one of them asked me based on my one turntable and the 
mixer I use to hook it up to my stereo if I was a DJ.  It pleased me, I 
guess, but also made me a little sad that I haven't ever gotten around to 
doing anything like that outside of the radio.

I've been wondering over the past while, seeing other people on the list 
have picnics and such, if I'm the only listee from Minnesota.  I guess I'm 
not _from_ Minnesota but I certainly have been spending most of my time 
here, and if not there's always December when I'm in Illinois again.  Just 
a passing thought.

I seem to have run out of things to say.  Tomorrow I will be getting 
hopefully my tickets to see Beck and the Flaming Lips at the lovely Orpheum 
Theatre; I've never seen a show there so hopefully that will be a good 
time.  Until next time...

kevin
