Sinister: postmen and parallel universities

[Alex Goffey]

Hello hello,

So my life as a lazy uni student on holidays has ended, and as of today, 
I've reverted back to just being a lazy uni student. Well, maybe I'm not 
actually *that* lazy, since I bothered to turn up to a 9am lecture on a 
Monday morning on the first day of classes. So that has to count for 
something. Nevertheless, it surely has to be slightly better than working in 
an office job..although, with my current brainless job in a supermarket and 
working on weekends to actually pay for things, a decent job wouldn't be too 
bad. I can see my three hour breaks being used for the sole purpose of 
procrastinatory activities - oh the temptation, good record stores are a 10 
minute walk away!

On the upside, I get to make videos this semester. And I'm also seeing The 
Breeders on Sunday. Yay! On the downside, no valentines present has yet 
arrived for me, despite mine reaching the Perth part of Australia in good 
time. Boo hiss. I am certain that the mailman conspires against me - once, a 
mixtape from Sweden took seven months to land in my mailbox. Seven months! 
Another time a mixtape was sent back to me because the address had washed 
off. I suspect those conspiring postmen spilt their beer on it...or I 
shouldn't have written the address in texta. I blame the posties.

It's raining outside, and I think it's going to keep raining for the next 
few days. The best thing about rain is sitting on a train, by a window, 
either reading or sleeping or looking out, listening to records. Last 
semester, when I bought 'Tigermilk', it had permanent residence in my 
discman and hence, helped me survive the semester. I think I'll employ it 
again this year. Amazingly, today I didn't fall asleep on the train, but 
tomorrow might be a different story...

Oh good, Australia is doing well in the cricket...hmmm well actually, how 
could we not???

xox Alex

p.s. I would just like to declare that Astrid is great, and so are Christine 
and Elizabeth. Yay!
