minutes. monday. june 27, 2005.
darn it!!!
i just wrote up some kickin minutes and then lost them with the click of a mouse button and now i'm SO FRUSTRATED so i will edit this later and make it really contain some notes at that point.
f. f f f.
**********************************
okay. better late then never?
* as siri is about to preface her story beth says, "do you remember those jeans they sold at kmart in the late 90s? NO EXCUSES!"
* "raccoons are tidy eaters." - beth (i remember when originally typing up these here notes i had to look up that first word and found that it can be spelled either racoon or raccoon. sometimes i wonder if all words should be more like that)
* "a miss havisham thing." - siri, summarizing what SR is saying about her piece
* siri, in talking about her story, explains some of the ways she tried to make her young character at first come across as being much older....
"what 29 year old owns a house?" "i've never made more than $12,000 a year." now starting to laugh maniacally. "i have to laugh or i'll cry."
* ***on this day, steveross submitted to the freakin new yorker.***
* "the language flows...much like the dancer." - siri, to SR
* "it's sort of like tetris" - beth explaining how she approaches short-shorts - keeping track of the word count and whittling it down while still composing it
and finally....
* somehow mention of a "soy cow" comes up (as the source of soy milk. duh.) and siri tells sarah about the subterranean cow lodge...under the family swim center where the soy cow lives. this amuses sarah enough to include it in minutes.

bless your beautiful penmanship and secretarial kickassness! were it not for you i would have forgotten about the subterranean soy cow--which would be tragic because then who pray tell would milk it?
