2nd minutes: wednesday july 6

beth's are better.

we ate some yummy salsa, hummus, cheese, and beth-made guacamole. mmmmmmm.
*following the reading of siri's poem, we had a long discussion concerning the grotesqueness of fireworks displays (culturally, symbolically, environmentally, etc.)
*siri re-reads some of her favorite lines from steve's story, in the middle interjection, "do you not see that, steve?!?" (referring to his awesomeness)
*we conceived of a new 80s movie: "back to gym", based on the common nightmares of siri, steve, and sarah involving not having attended enough gym classes in high school and other gym related horrors
*siri, very seriously: "so maybe by osmosis he's becoming autistic."
*beth and sarah are alienated, then terrified, by the moleskine cult forming before their very eyes. siri was obsessed before, but now that she owns one, she is even more devoted. steveross admits that after finishing each moleskine he labels the spine with the date and creates a table of contents. siri considers her moleskine a surrogate companion in lieu of a significant other. siri and steveross repeat an earlier conversation, saying that the smaller size moleskin is the best PDA ever, while the larger is the best laptop. both parties list the benefits and while beth and sarah see that it is a nice notebook, they are frightened by the all-consuming passion that comes with owning one.
*contens of beth's trader joe bag after loudly crashing to the floor: (as dictated by
SR)
1 banana, broken
1 floodlight, with a brrraaaa....or bathing suit
many cords
satchel
chocolate covered pretzels
maybe a mouse
other wires
...it's getting personal down there. i don't want to go any further.

possible assignment: if you can't get writing, write something that involves a dream.

[now i'll go back and try to do those minutes i did then didn't do and now will do again]
