minutes. monday. september 19, 2005.
funny you should request that, bev.
reunited and it feels so good....
i forgot the write down the menu! let's see...soy&flax seed tortilla chips, hummus, crazy salsa, yummy bread, samosas, and, of course, a fine array of delicious norse chocolates. fear not. we saved the fancy wine for our creator's imminent visit.
*beth proclaims, "late summer is dying time."
*siri comes up with a scheme for smuggling a kitten home from norway, involving a feigned pregnancy, animal sedatives, and an absorbant pouch.
*"i don't think i could be an alcoholic, but i could be a wine-aholic." -siri lakshmi
*an entertaining little skit by beverly and steveross:
SR-all comedians think they're philosophers when they're not doing comedy.
B-how can you make a blanket statement like that?
SR-i'm a comedianist.
*SR ruminates on the definition of gauche
*"i can't even believe we're having this conversation. i'm gonna go slit my wrists." -beth, regarding kitsch vs. camp conversation
*the performance of steveross's play .... i simply cannot even begin to describe this, except to say that beth makes an incredible sorcerer
*reminder - things to google: "bush handwriting" and "brown's resignation letter" (which i've heard reads like a comedy routine)
*regarding SR's play: "it's timely" (beth) "it's timeless" (sarah) explosive laughter (all)
*SR and beth kick it again:
SR-kafka wrote a bunch of fragments...
B-that were as good as my poems!
SR-i think, beth, you are my Id. everything i think, you express"
*"i guess adolescence is cliche" - SLS
"that's why when you see teenagers you say [insert noise of irritation and disgust]" -SR
*"we need another australia is what we need" - SR (though i really thought siri had said this....please verify)
*SR- did you just say that reminded you of me, steve ross-y?
all others- no. i said bossy.
i never wrote the previous week's minutes, but that mostly consisted of the game of Life, which sarah lost again, though this time at least not to a 10 year old.
also, i think i need to control my wine intake, as i don't even really understand some of my notes. or that could just be that they never made sense in the first place.

i said the thing about australia.
oh yes, forgot to add that these minutes are great. and that tricia was greatly missed. and that i think reading plays aloud whilst drunk should be an integral part of each nhwc meeting. also, we should start club earlier so that it can last longer. a 12 hour nhwc meeting would rock.
Siri said that stuff about the landmass.
Yeah I wanted Tricia and my sister to come, but it was still like a group hug (why didn't we have one?) to be all together again. I don't think minutes are necessary for the week before, when we workshopped nothing. Last night, looking over months of nhwc work, I decided I have been too lazy lately. Next week, a play & a novel excerpt? I gotta get on it, because the play was one of my favorite parts. Also, we should limit wine intake to 2 small size bottles, so that no one's intake exceeds 1/2 a bottle. Remember the early days, when the wine was not an integral part of the club? When we were all sort of reluctant to step into the red stuff? Oh, the old days.
hmm. i think i like the drunk factor. is that terrible?
no, as long as it is slightly managed. now that monday is part of your weekend, you have no reason to not partake.
hmm...i don't know if i ever remember there being a fear of partaking in the nectar of dionysus.
at least, not for me.
Maybe during week one. I was a little scared to get trashed. Since then, ahhh, we like wine.
actually beth, monday is the last day of my weekend, so i actually have to work the next day. but at 3pm so i shouldn't get trashed per se, but can also afford to.
your schedule seems so crazy, but also kind of interesting. how is it going? I guess I should just e-mail this question.
