Sinister: in the game of chess you can't let the opponent to see your pieces

[Jonathan Skinner]

Wellity wellity wellity.
Isn't it grate to see the list all active again just as ms mcneill was
leaving. is there a connection i hear you all ask? the long answer yes with
an if and the short answer is no with a but. I am not of the ancients or
elders of this list. although i did join in '99 when brit pop was still at
it's dizzying heights and the strokes were still finishing elementary
school. Actully that new strokes song is great.  i sat through 2 whole hours
of gonzo ( which is strange in itself) to see it. i am a bit confused
though. the song ended suddenly and switched into something else. is this
the song or poor editing on MTV's part. i hope it is the latter.
so first of all i suppose i should explain myself. i am back and i hope it
is ok.
there nuff said. second of all i had the dogs bollox of a summer and it came
to an end. with a bang. spent it in barcelona which was nice and sunny and
so so so cheap. ( a round of beers for four people in a bar in the gothic
area cost ?8 compared to a round of similar beers here costing ?16) i was
never so glad to be a wage slave in ireland as it meant i could live like
royalty (without the inbreeding) for a month and still come back with money
with which to wipe my arse. our landlord screwed us out of our deposit
however and now i again have to be a wage slave to pay itoff.
in other news i started uni yesterday. looking around the lecture theatre
there were people in tracksuits and foxy celtic hair pasted down with gel. i
have expected to be egged for wearing a bag that wasn't jansport. then there
was also the arty types that i expected to see including one particularly
good looking girl that had huge earphones and a mad long dr whoesque scarf.
out of the 1000 freshers the dean said yesterday that 45% of us will
probably drop out. i hope not. i like the lower half of my body. i suppose i
could adjust to walking around on my hands but i don't think i should have
to.
in music news i must say the new b+s stuff has me a bit excited. piazza new
york catcher is perhaps the best thing that they have produced in a long
long long time. i can;'t wait to hold the grubby album in my pristine hands.
i have been listening a lot to beth gibbons. if you don't have it buy it,
everyone else is so why shouldn't you. Yann Tiersen plays Cork next month
which i am very very very excited about.
right i am off to tie my scarf properly and practice my affectations
