Sinister: stratosphere await arse cd

[Rachel Playforth]

Wotcha list.

'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' sounds like a stupid anagram, and I love stupid 
anagrams. So I am NEARLY excited. Although my CD budget has been whittled 
away to nothing by the evils of DEBT. So, kids, if you want to be enjoying 
Belle & Sebastian in your old age (much like Carsmile and David Moore for 
example hoho), don't take out loans. Just work really hard and try to live 
somewhere with low rent, like a cardboard box.

Summer is a very busy time here in the language school. I am unable to do 
all the appropriate things such as ease my feet in the sea, have picnics, 
go on holiday and get pissed on Cosmopolitans. Also I have improving books 
about libraries to read. So I probably haven't posted to Sinister for a 
good long while.

Here I am, though. I am drinking Ribena as we speak. And I found time to 
add Ken's latest effort to
http://www.angelfire.com/indie/pastiches
which Ian and other interested parties may like to revisit for their 
pastiche fix. Plug over. (Not smut.)

Hm, what else is there to say? I am moving house again, to be the proud 
owner of a Patio (which offers all kinds of possibilities for seaside 
Sinister gatherings, of course.)

I was thinking the other day about the 'gang' I had at university, a group 
of friends and acquaintances more or less on tap, who could always be 
relied on to congregate in one bar, or one person's house, or whatever. 
Nowadays there are things called jobs which seem to interfere in a most 
unattractive way, meaning that the simplest social arrangement between even 
TWo people, let alone 20, takes weeks of planning. Whose door can I knock 
on at 1am now, eh? This made me sad. But then I realised that there IS 
still a gang I belong to, one whose members DO always know where to find 
each other. The names and faces change, but whatever time zone or mood 
you're in, someone's out there.

Thanks Sinister,

love Archel
