Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

Worst Concert: Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the 9:30.
What do you expect from a band that once compared rock venues to concentration camps? They're glum, pretentious and hate their audience -- or pretend to, anyway. Long and predictable dirges, minus vocals. Oh, and it went on for hours.

celeste and weiss!!

doods! where are you?


Dream Last Night

In last night's dream a few of you were there. I was riding a commuter train with I think Eric and Lindsy. We'd gotten on and I'd placed my suitcases in the overhead rack, but then I decided I needed to get a snack from the vending machines in the terminal. It wasn't going to leave for ten minutes so I thought I had enough time. I got off the train and went to get a snack. But the train left. So I took the next one which was leaving in only ten more minutes. Sasha and Ben Beachy were on that train, though, as well as someone else I don't remember. We were all going to the same place, and I didn't have so much baggage that Eric and Lindsy couldn't just carry it with theirs, so it was all fine.

Also, I saw Sarah Rose Clune. The Feast of the Holy Innocents retreat is at a church just a few blocks from my house. I have to work on getting references together tomorrow, as well as some other things, but I'm going to eat lunch with her at least.

The New Dollar Bill!

Check this out and call your senators!


Katie- I'm proud of you. Keep us posted on how the next days go.

I had to see my uncle the bishop at the Kennel Christmas gathering, the one that can't seem to accept that the good old days of the Mennonite church in the fifties, when women and gays stayed in their place, are gone. But I think they are, and further ever day. Fewer and fewer people want to be part of a denomination where prejudice and bitterness determine who is allowed to love whom.

Let's stay hopeful.

Chris Bartok

So Dean Young emails us all to let us know that Chris Bartok was "found dead" last Friday night. No more details.

Chris sat three rows behind me in Torts. I never knew him very well. We talked at a party for a bit once. He always wore pink shoelaces and a gold earring. He did great spiky stuff with his hair. He had a Google shirt that he told me he got for free from somebody who worked for Google. I can't say I really know more about him than that and what the face book tells us. I didn't even remember who he was until I looked up "Bartok" in the face book.


Merry Chrstimas Eve, y'all

Music video director of the day: Michel Gondry.
Responsible for the Massive Attack classic "Protection" and Daft Punk's "Around the World".

Have fun at all your parties, yo.

John AshcroftOrange Alert

The Department of Homeland Security has announced, in time for Christmas, that the nation is on an Orange Alert and terrorist attacks may be imminent.

No need to fear, though, continue your holiday plans as normal. Consume much. Do last minute shopping at Walmart.

However, those who have already committed thoughtcrime should expect John Ashcroft, Tom Ridge and their fellow Thought Police to burst through the door imminently to carry them away to the Ministry of Love.

Evil Santa!

Xmas Loot to Date


  1. Serving bowl of that mediumish size our house so desperately needs
  2. Catseye Bicycle Headlight
  3. Candy cane
  4. $25 cash
  5. Cartoon History of the Universe II
  6. Miles Davis Jazz Play Along

So anyway, I'm back in DC now. I'll be up in Lancaster on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday we should go to Asylum, no? I don't think we needed to get tickets in advance for Black Cat New Year last year, just $20 at the door. Yeah, I'll sure miss that.

Too much information

As some of you know, I was informed that they were going to change Commie House's locks just a little too late and, therefore, took not one thing out for Christmas break. CD's, clothes, backpack, books, everything--still inside my house. This is just a roundabout way of saying: I'm not wearing underwear. I have gone through the few pairs that I had left here where my mother lives--they're currently in the wash. I am no longer boxers or briefs (well, actually, I was never boxers), but I am now swimming trunks.


bush
do some more voting at moveon. there are some great anti-bush adds and you get to vote on the best.


wa-wa-w-wait
you're telling me we won't see any green fairies? why th'fuck would we want to buy it then?

Weiss - we'll be in DC on the 24th, I think... until later... yeah... when are you kids leaving the district?you said you weren't goin to be there for new years, right? also... are tickets required to get into the black cat on new years?

"Epoxy on both your houses!"

So I broke a shoelace and have a hole in my boot between the sole and the leather upper that lets water in too quickly when I tramp through slush. I so bought new shoelaces after dropping off my sister and fixed the hole with epoxy that my other sister uses for art classes. She's going to be an art major when she comes to Goshen. Great stuff, that epoxy.

And Schrocks, when will you be in DC?


Well, there's a 700ml bottle for 37.75$ and a 750ml bottle for 49.75$, although these are from France and probably don't have the godawful taste/hallucinogenic properties of the real stuff.

Also, I'm leaving for PA tomorrow so there's really not much time.

Also: Man, breaking up is hard to do.


aren't there any smaller bottles or cheaper varieties?


Absinthe
Absinthe 'R Us
The Green Fairy is legal in Montréal, but expensive. Any orders before I head off?

Home Again

I'm back at my parents' house, improvising poppy stuff on their so-marvelously in-tune piano. I bought them all gifts last night. Only my little sister is home. She opened the door wearing a bathrobe, smiled, and ran back upstairs to finish her shower.

I'm only home for this weekend, though I'll be up again for xmas day and then we'll all go out to Ohio again over New Years. Up and back, splitting time between Lancaster and my home in DC. My home in DC.

But anyway, as I'll be in the midwest for New Years, is there any chance any of you are going to be at Addie's party in Indy? I'll be there [sic]. I got a ride there from my grandparents' house in Ohio with Anna and someone she knows and hey, it beats falling asleep at 11:34pm after watching a PBS special on the kelp forests of the Pacific Northwest coast. Yeah. I'll meet new people

Also, the Washington Post does it again, this time sticking it to Apple.

Just an update on the poll, including my vote--pro gay marriage 49%, homophobes 42%, and civil unions 8%. That must really suck for the pro-family folks to be getting their asses kicked so badly. I'm also stunned at how many of us are anti-family.


536-8752

I have a new cell phone! Merry Christmas to me!


Grrr!

Yesterday two people called me "ma'am," today three! And I've only been working 4 1/2 hour days! I'm thankful to the one gentleman who said, "sir."


new prof
my uncle meet the new gc english prof (who just happens to be another of my uncles/aunts/grandparents that work for this fine institution). he's the one with the circle and arrow, the name bobby, and the male figure and clothing. he's an english proffesor with a specialty in old english lit and good reviews from former students. he also drinks coffee like a mad man. i like him.


America's Poll on Homosexual Marriage
as conducted by america's leading anti-homosexual organization

I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and "civil unions"
47.29%
(126205 votes)

I favor legalization of homosexual marriage
45.33%
(120973 votes)

I favor a "civil union" with the full benefits of marriage except for the name
7.37%
(19671 votes)

They can't even get a decent majority on their own damn website!

Sure you do! Go to this Web site:

to take part in a little poll that they're conducting. I will not tell you what the right answer is; I'll just say that it's obvious.


Adam Sandler

I don't know, Eric, I also liked The Wedding Singer.


One frog helping another
Close call, but Jass and Pants are safe! Also: things are looking pretty ixnay on the ublicpay ealthay angle. Everybody's saying do med school first, than rock the public health. Good news is that Université de Montréal doesn't require MCATs for MD admission (but deadline is Jan. 15!) So the adventures continue, and looks like I'll definitely be home next year.

What has everybody else been up to?

Wednesday, December 17, 2003

question answered


here goes two in a row
i fixed my home up some.
check it out.


punch-drunk love

i watched it, i loved it, i own it.

you should watch it too. the first good adam sandler,
another good paul thomas anderson, and
as always a stellar performance from phillip seymour hoffman.
also well acted by emily watson who was also in gosford park, angela's ashes
breaking the waves, and (get this) mill on the floss in which she played maggie tuliver.

i'll be damned.


Is It Wrong to Post Twice in a Row?

Jules says no.

So the Onion put out its Best Albums of the Year, and frankly compared to last year my personal participation is pretty disgraceful. As compared to last year where I actually purchased two albums which showed up repeatedly on the various lists, this year all I've done is download some MP3s of the Decemberists and Death Cab for Cutie, as well as intended to go to but ultimately miss one show of the former. Oh, and I guess I did go see Gillian Welch, but she only shows up once.

Though way back over the summer I remember listening to Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne on Philly's best radio station and thinking that it was okay, that the whiny humor balanced out music that managed to just push past mediocrity.

One to Go

Three exams down. Crim law went okay. I had a good time in the policy question sending a shout out to Pennsylvania for its development of the concept of grading murder.

Go Pennsylvania!

fuck you if you can't let me take your criticism
what the fuck is wrong with my home page?

and how was the movie?


title

Red Room Ale, the house brew, isn't bad at $11 a pitcher. Probably the thing to get if you're getting a pitcher.The Joggers cancelled last night, we found out as we waited in line for the ID check. Blast. Instead we bought beer and shouted at each other about drug policy. Somehow the rest of the crowd there seemed more mainstream than usual. Not sure what's with that.

But Girlyman is at this place called Iota tonight so maybe that will pan out. It's near a metro stop, which is looking more and more important as the weather here sucks. Slushy slush. Ick.

Eric, I think your resume looks great. You might want to add a link to a printable version if you're serious about it.

And I gave up on the truck. I don't know what I'll do.


mike
please note that i have completed my resume and updated the design. i hope it meets your standards. let me know what you think.

Saturday, December 13, 2003

Truck
I want a bigger bed, so I need one of these to move it.

It's good to have Celeste around again. She's fun. Last night we went to a ballet recital. Lots of prancing around and jumping. It made me hungry.

It's a b1tch to rent a truck around here! You have to be 25 to rent from most places, and you have to know way way in advance. I'm hoping that Tasara will let me use her Flexcar subscription. It's a huge favor, though, and I'm not quite sure what I could offer in return.

Thursday, December 11, 2003

and then
i found my bike discarded on the ground outside the computer lab. it had disapeared about two months ago from out front of our apartment on 8th street. since it was taken off campus, i sure didn't expect it to show up on campus. it's in pretty bad shape. a special christmas thanks to whatever motherfucker accidentaly returned it. you dork.

My great grandmother

I think Elizabeth Fisher, my Amish great grandmother, would have at least had the decency to correctly spell masturbation.

But if there's anything I fondly remember her saying, that one time we talked when I was tripping, it was, "That Tim Curry is a fine piece of ass."

Contracts
Men signing contracts.

I have spent most of the day studying for Contracts. In other news, my housemate Jeff is back from Brazil with many funny stories.

I appreciate the large amount of blogging. Thanks to all of you for helping distract me from studying.

Now I am going to buy gift-wrapping paper as I suddenly realized that I don't have any.


i'll be fucked
god i'm blogging a lot. but there it is.

I have just been selected by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival as one of six student directors for the ten minute play festival in normal illinois this january. I have also had two plays chosen (each play is one of six in its category to go on to the festival) Daffodil MF and Dr. Catharsis (the play on which my original short film was based). I have to choose between Daffodil and Directing because both are part of the Ten Minute Play Festival in which I can only be entered in one capacity. Dr. Catharsis is in a different competition and will compete regardless.

I don't know the level of competition in the directing catagory, but in playwriting both my shows were chosen (separately, by completely different judges) out of all the plays submitted in our five state region of colleges and grad schools.

i think i'll be taking the plays and looking into directing as an option again next year.

and i watched jesus of montreal the other night and loved it.

Also: If you're reading this, you're probably invited to Brick House tonight ('round 10:30) for a little Christmas party. The evening will be peppered with Interesting dandelion wine, eggnog and baking. Oy oy!


title:
so on the exam there wasn't a single question about the coen brothers collaborations with sam rami, or even the fact that Dr. Strangelove was James Earl Jones' film debut (he's the mechanic on the airplane with Slim Pickins). Instead they wanted me to know that an ekkyklema was a greek rolling platform used to bring the dead back on stage (since they obviously couldnt actually die on stage) and that shakespeare broke all the neoclassical rules (how could he even consider himself a playwright?).

What a dumb exam.


Dear Chris and Ann,
some thoughts on your course, now that it's all said and done. I really enjoyed your course, especially the late night study sessions before your lovely Quests, never before have I felt such camaraderie with my fellow classmates. However, if i were to make some changes, I would broaden the timeline we cover from pre-humanoid to maybe 3,100 c.e., and then maybe compact the course into 2 or 3 weeks and make it worth 6 credit hours. As far as the text book, I'm glad we had a chance to read and discuss the chapters on Eastern European traditions, as well as art from the far-east, mid-east, and Africa. The novels we read, Jazz, The Girl With The Pearl Earring, and The Tempest covered a variety of cultures that I hadn't seen in any of my other classes until now. And finally, thanks for the guest lecturers, they were ok!
Thanks for the great and enlightening semester,
- kate schrock


My exam schedule has gone bitchcakes!

OK, so I guess to celebrate Day Three of exams, they've given me three exams for today. I have a two-hour exam, followed by an hour lunch break, followed by a two-hour exam and then concluding right after that with a two-hour exam. I want to collapse just thinking about it!


As Celeste's great-grandmother once said:
procrastination is like masterbation; it's all fun until you realize you're fucking yourself


and
part of crimewave takes place at the "hudsucker penatentary."

oh my god. these guys are brilliant.


oh, dear
since december 3rd, we have had 50 posts; we're pathetic


discoveries
not only is crimewave a colaboration between sam rami and the coen brothers, but do a search under evil dead (a rami horror classic) for "joel coen" and see what you find. exciting!

TV?
oh, best shows on TV ever? Nickelodeon's roundhouse, Clarissa explains it all, hey dude, Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts... i mean seriously where has television been since the likes of mobile lazyboys, alligators named elvis, ferg-wads, and Mr. Freezy have left our glowing boxes of happiness?


Observations from the revolution will not be televised:

Most members of Chavez' opposition shown were white, blonde, and wearing lots of makeup. Made me think how lucky they are to have a president that lets them march in the streets in opposition to him, with enough security to be able to stop periodically to reapply their lipstick. In Miami, we got shot by the police with various projectiles with little warning .

Well done documentaries have an amazing ability to change the perspective of their viewers unconciously. I realized while watching the presidential guard take back the palace that I had never seen military officers, in full camoflauge carrying rifles, in a positive way before. I found myself cheering them on.

Observations from recent blog posts:

Kate and I counted 16 blog posts for today. We be some lazy bi-ah-tches who don't want to study for finals.

Seinfeld? Come on, Weiss. The characters are neurotic and don't make any particularly good insights. It's too bad you don't get South Park. It is the Rubber House craze.

My final note, from the hallowed South Park: Crab people, Crab people, Taste like crab, talk like people.

Back to my beer and Botany.


Braun Coffee Grinder

Oh beautiful coffee grinder, how did I ever live without you? The fragrances you unlock from the whole spices I feed you set my heart to beating like a butterfly flapping its shimmering wings. (Mine is the cute black one on the right.)

Mike: Yes, those are the first two I thought of.

Derek: I remembering hearing about NewsRadio, but I've never seen it. I'll make sure to rent it when it becomes available.


My idol!

Thank you Sasha for posting a picture of one my idols! Isn't he cute? And, yes, I definitely remember "The Kids in the Hall"!


Dave!!!


The Last Samurai

Kind of what I thought from viewing the trailer:

"[M]ost critics are letting loose with a barrage of arrows aimed at the movie, particularly faulting it for -- like many other epic films of the past -- depicting a white American as a formidable presence in a backward non-white culture. Ty Burr in the Boston Globe calls it 'the latest in that oddly neurotic genre in which an American hero validates himself by becoming an alien culture's great white hope.' 'Movies set in Japanese history should not be about handsome white people. It just feels wrong and, in the end, leaves in your mouth the taste of desecration,' comments Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post."

(And Weiss, my vote for "good" TV show: "NewsRadio." Seasons one and two on DVD sometime in 2004! Terribly underrated absurdist-humor sitcom!)


thanks
my computer is back with all files still intact.

i think my home page is perfectly compact so shove off.

i'll work on the resume though...


Thanks, Mike

First, I want to thank Mike for not reviewing my page which I slapped together a long time ago before I knew much HTML and I haven't been able to delete because I haven't been able to get any ftp clients that will let me log on and delete it.

For the record, I did not describe Buffy as "good," I merely said that it "rocks." It's funny in a way that hovers between intentionally and unintentionally. And I like a little suspense every once in a while. Maybe it would get boring after a second viewing.

I tried to think about shows that I would actually call "good." I've come up with three, four if you count South Park, but I don't because we don't get cable. A prize to the first person who can guess all three, though the third one is a doozy. And a smaller prize the first person who comes up with each good show that I didn't think of. (Prizes to be awared during my spring break which is the week after y'all's.)

All of these shows are on English-language US broadcast networks and were in production during the '90s or are currently in production. Prizes will only be awarded to Shoup Blog members.


The Pimp/Gay Look

I think the P/G Look could be more accurately described as the Blacklight Look (or the Nightclub Look). Also, is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actually rock that much? I've never seen it, but since Jerry Peters is a huge fan, then it may well be worth checking out!


Speaking of sleep...
here are some other ideas for a technicolor site:
this one has some of katie ho's ideas
and this one eric refers to as the "pimp/gay" look, but it was actually inspired by a menno simmons poster


you were right about smeg

Update: Snack Attack @ the 'Fraker!


My Day

Spent most of my day legal observing. Met Mara, of ANSWER fame. Yep, she's an attack dog alright.

Spent an hour napping, then an hour eating, then two hours kicking ass on a torts practice exam. Go me! I am the queen of torts!

After that I drank a martini (no olive, we're out) and watched Buffy. That show rocks. I don't know why I never watched it before.

Good to hear from you again, Alburn. You're great. Come to DC. There's more to do here than in Goshen, though of course you won't be able to do any of it with me because I stay inside all day and study.

Meg, are you drunk again?

Ooh, ooh, a Philosophy of Biology.

(Written a half-hour before Senior Sem)

Also: thanks for the Apple porn.


SnowAin't that just the cutest thing?

It snowed about an inch at the Pentagon and about six inches up towards Baltimore, putting us at just the right spot for a charming little coating on the trees in the park. It was beautiful like a cemetery during my morning run: cool, contrasted, and motionless. The sun came out and will probably melt it all by this evening. Ang and Tim1 put plastic sheeting over the windows while I stayed in my room, reading the note cases in the Contracts book.

Gosh, I feel all Christmasy...

Dan Smith: "Well, I don't see any blank spaces!"
Me: "Were any of the answers supposed to be blank?"
Dan Smith: "No."
Me: "So, umm...
Dan Smith: "Well, have a good weekend!"


A GC student's prayer:

Dear Jesus,

If I ever make you vomit, I promise to hold your hair back and put a pillow under your knees when you are crouched over the toilet. I will gently put you in a cold shower, Jesus. And then I will feed you bread and water, until you say stop and have to vomit some more. I won't make you drink honey.

In the morning, I will bring pain relieving capsules of your choice, more water, and black coffee to your beside.

Because I love you, Jesus, baby. I'll be a sunbeam for you.

That is so 2001

I mean, just take a look at the stuff GC leaves lying around on its webserver...


Blood on the SheetsWell, you shouldn't be assuming!

So I had a bloody nose last night. Good grief. Makes me feel like a little kid again. Also makes me think of Erin Brockovich.

I've divided this Reading Day into 2/3 goofing off and 1/3 studying for Criminal Law. And some smatterings of volunteering to wear a funny hat and failing to help Grant with his wireless card.

Are the little lines coming out of those characters' heads supposed to be legs, 'cause I always assumed that they were ant-like jaws.

Also, I miss Photoshop.


A sweet e-wish
yay! so much fun with cheesy e-cards!

that gay marriage ought to be between a man and a woman.

and that NWP is holding auditions for our first show of 2004.


Our Choices Are Scarely That Narrow

Sylvia sez - One of our main goals now is to destroy the Human Rights Campaign, because I’m tired of sitting on the back of the bumper.Dude, I can't make this shit up. And the people who run the HRC actually wouldn't be behind a lot of those combinations, despite what they'd like their constituency to believe. And for that we say, fuck 'em. Ahnold sez - I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman

Good articles there, Sasha.

I've certainly got no love for Mayor Williams. read 'On the Take: From Petty Crooks to Presidents' by William J. Chamblis


I don't really care about the colors on the blog, but I do care about D.C.'s right to vote! I hardly have a patriotic bone in my body, but I get all misty eyed when I see the red stars of the D.C. flag, and hear our anthem, "Get the fuck out of my city, you elitist government bastards."

The AIDS benefit concert was great, except the one moment when the speaker, Dr. Klaus, made a ludicrous and offensive equation of Shariah law with the AIDS epidemic.

Shariah law, the Islamic legal code, is as much capable of creating true justice, and as open to misinterpretation by religious extremists, as any system of law rooted in a religious philosophy. While Shariah law makes no mistake about the illegality and immorality of slavery, we can't say as much for the Bible or the Torah. And far worse than cutting off hands for stealing was done to our Anabaptist ancestors by "Christian governments." Just ask Michael Sattler where his tongue is.


l333333333333333333t!Hey, get your l33t on.

Also: Weiss, I am so looking at you about this ballot-stuffing thing. I mean really! There are only 36 people registered on the blog, and apparently 38 of us have already voted. I mean, I know you don't often have the chance to vote, but still.

And is Ben Friesen going out with Lili Taylor or what?


Personally, I care so much about the future of our blog that I voted THREE times. Has anyone else realized the loophole in the blogpoll system and have taken upon themselves to express their opinion multiple times? Right now the count is even.

Voting

Saul Alinsky used to tell a personalized variation of the joke about voting. In his version, he was a participant in a debate in Louisiana where his opponent was trying to denigrate Alinsky's sense of public duty. "And Mr. Alinsky here," said his opponent, "only cares about the future of our state enough to vote one time!"


Click heels three times...Montréal picture

Just some great post-autumn Montreal pictures.

Also: turns out my neighbourhood may have the highest rate of nonmarried cohabitation in the western world. Kinda exciting, and explains alot about me as well.

Finally: looks like a bring-your-own-pot café has opened in my area. Police came and arrested a few people, but organizer says "Only about two or three people left because of the police, the rest are still there." Classic.
