times a wastin'

Hey people
since we didn't meet here are some sites to wish were as cool as club:

general reference librarian's resource

52 projects there are a bunch of sub-links from this page that rule, including a link to the scariest, realest thing I ever heard on NPR, this story about this guy who was lobotomized by his parents. this is rough stuff, be ready.

I made sarah do a writing exercise via phone that anyone else can participate in. Stuart is your lead character. He is dating someone who does not like the kind of pet he has, but is trying to conceal this pet from this person. You can also spell his name "Stewart."
Also, I'd like to point out that all of the comments on the previous post are by me. Because no one else seems to have the energy for the blogger word verification.

Tra-la, Happy Tuesday

Also note that Movies & Mimosas next weekend (the 12th) is Harold & Maude and I will be there, with bells on.

minutes! monday, january 24, 2006.

after the first meeting of 2006 provided the opportunity to get reacquainted with the concept of NHWC, we finally got down to business this week.
amidst an array of fine wines, pretzels, hummus, turkish dried apricots, and something called "cinderella 99", the following events occurred...

beth comments on having a good eye for something, leading steveross to say, "similarly, i have a good eye for brandy - want some?" though we'd already discussed the hideousness of it.

beth realizes that she can receive text messages, discovering that sheehan did, in fact, respond to our drunk dialing her months ago (beth, maybe you could share the contents of this message, as i forgot to ask)

it is agreed that there should be a universal rumspringa.

"we're all like doctors," SR, re: confidentiality

"sometimes you're not sure which side of the joke you're on," SR

"you are the most self-conscious human being i've even met in my life, yo," SR

and those are my first minutes of 2006.

Imagine my surprise!

Looking for line dancing moves on the internets...I came upon these magical notes:


CHICKENS See HEEL SPLITS

CHUG A scoot forward or sideways on one foot while the other
foot is held in a raised position. Also called a SCOOT,
SKOOCH or a HOP.

I think we need to start a chuggen club. More here and here perform a search on "chicken" or "chug" and see all the things that come up.

Apparently, country line dancers like chickens as much as we do.

Hey ya'll...Mama gots a brand new blog! Please come check it out. And thanks. Uh-yut.

what has become of the nhwc?

seriously.

that's all.

Requited

LOOK WHAT I FOUND SAVED AS A DRAFT (UNPUBLISHED) IN THE NHWC ARCHIVES!

This is my drunken love letter to NHWC.

We observe and comment.
We are similar in our methods of investigating the world around us.
Prose and verse are inadequate forms, thus we hang out.
We are critical.
We are comforting.
Suddenly there are new lives to interact with, learn from.
And we collect wisdom.

To call ourselves a writing club is inadequate.

I Am Putting This On EVERY Blog and Message Board I Am Associated With

Because I LOVE it!!

Thanks to the The Willimantic Food Co-op I found this AWESOME story about Organic Store Wars

cuteness

cutenesspersonified. I'd love to find an image equally cute and post it, but my damn compy with the necessary tools is still dragging under the weight of viruses. May 2006 be cute and involve more club, as we have been dead in the water since 12/18, and by my calculations that means I have not written a lick in nearly a month! What a jerk I am!
