Sinister: Sleep your cock around

[Caitlin Ross]

[this was written on Saturday; this was my first chance to post it.  
It's not very good, but I'm going to post it anyway]

ANTISOCIAL

Like every night last night, I stayed in and watched the television.
I stayed in and watched because Belle and Sebastian were on.

What can I say about it, though?  There's not much that needs to *be*
said, is there?  On the telly, all the best bits get edited out - the
inter-song banter gets cut, the performers' relationship gets skipped by
the camera.  Much better to see it live, you know.

I would have offered to tape the gig for people, but I've never worked
out how to tune my video.  I didn't bother to watch much of the Mull
Historical Society, but kept flipping back and forth between the gig and
Big Brother instead.  See, it's just as if I'd been there.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

If I'd been *at* the gig, I wouldn't have bothered to watch on the TV.
  Not even the full set was shown; Step Into My Office Baby, for one, 
was
edited out to make room for "give us everything you own, you heartless
bastards" interludes. But I didn't go to the gig, so I had to make do.
You can tell I wasn't at the picnic either, because otherwise all those
Reporting Back posts would have mentioned me.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Walking to work the other day, I saw a sign in a shop window.  "Now
here," it said, "GHD!".

"Wow," I thought, "he's back!"  We could do with him around the place
again.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

Of course, if you're going to go all Classic Sinister, subheadings IN
CAPS are an absolute must.  So are smutty puns in the subject line, of
course, and a delicate mix of on-topicness and random wibbling.  If
you're one of those people that's already been on the list for six
years, you'll already know all this.

Some people swear by otherwise-unintelligable posts full of in-jokes,
too, but they're probably best avoided.  Writing them and reading them
too, to tell the truth.

See, if we all do this, maybe we can bring back the golden days of
1998.

IF THE WHOLE WORLD WAS A PUBLISHER

Of course, now every man and his kitchen equipment have a blog, it's
just not the same.  All the people who could write *good* diary posts
have wandered off elsewhere.

IS THAT ALL?

Probably.
