Sinister: mice and foxes

[Alex Goffey]

Dear Sinister,

It seems like this mouse has decided to play tricks on me. Every time I want 
to highlight something, it magically un-highlights it, as if to say "no 
Alex, really, you don't want to delete all this". Of course, my response to 
this would normally be to smash the mouse up and tell it that it is a 
useless piece of computer peripheral equipment, but for fear of a backlash 
from all the mice and all the other people in this uni computer room alike, 
I won't.

Procrastination is quite possibly the only way I make it through uni. If I'm 
at home, I'll play countless games of Spider Solitaire to ensure that my 
assignment is perfectly written. This could well be the most addictive game 
that Microsoft has ever created. At uni, I just write countless emails like 
this. Right now, I'm supposed to be writing a script for a three minute 
film. The idea fairly well sucks, but it'll have to do. I was going to steal 
an idea from a B&S song - you know, just do Lazy Line Painter Jane all over 
again, but then nobody would've appreciated it. And if I came to the group 
with an idea like, "yeah, and then she licks some railings and starts to 
feel itchy", they'd all stare at me even more and opt for an idea which is 
more "normal", I suppose. Boo to them!

At least for that subject, we have a cute tutor. It's nice to be rewarded 
with something nice to look at after stumbling to uni for a 9am start. 
Thursdays aren't so lucky - I have an 8am start (yuck), then I get to do 
three bloody hours of accounting with old ladies as tutors and lecturers.

I think that people who find money all the time can be classified in the 
same group of people as those who:
a. win money at the casino by only gambling $1, and
b. people who win competitions.
Sadly, I am in none of these groups. All the coins (never notes) that I ever 
find floating around are the  measly five cent pieces that everybody else 
has stepped over. I never win money at the casino, just lose what I put in 
(which isn't ever very much - $4 maybe? Maybe I'll up my betting stakes to 
about $10 when I get a "proper" job). AND, the best thing I ever won was a 
set of granny luggage. Wooh! No surprises that it was in a raffle at the 
nursing home where my aunt works. I think I also might have won a bottle of 
whisky, but I was about 12 at the time and had to hand it over to my dad.

Also in my procrastination, I went to the pretty sinister site and perused 
all the sillustrations. They are so lovely! Will they ever make a return? Or 
has the fox been in hibernation over the Northern Hemisphere's winter?

Oh well, perhaps I can appease this mouse some point soon. Either that, or I 
could do some work...
