Chortles and Snorts

2006-03-26T13:45:00.000-05:00

Uh, hell yes I look back at this. I laugh at things like "Sir James" being listed under the contributors list. A lot. And that "Debra" too...no offense Tom (=

What happened to everyone?

Where are my friends? What happened to Rachel? Heather, we might have to go undercover and find her. It'll be cool. We'll wear camoflouge. Except for her, I'm pretty I've seen everyone else on that list in the past year.

2006-02-07T16:02:00.000-05:00

So, I was just wondering ...
Does anyone ever look back at all this?
If you do, I hope you smile like me.

2005-01-25T18:23:00.000-05:00

I miss you all. Nick, Tom, Alex, Rachel, Deb, Eddie, Kat...Players auditions are in a couple days, and I'm wishing you all were here. GFS Night is next week, and Eddie - your solo will always be the highpoint of our Hilltones stage time there, whilst Laurelei's MMMBop will forever be remembered. Anyway...this is the pirst fost in a while (;-)), and maybe it will serve to start a little more community blogging.

2004-11-19T14:29:00.000-05:00

so i just gathered pictures for my yearbook page. and there are so many of you all. so many memories - from players to prom to parties. we always seem to be smiling ... i know we can't go back to how we once were (when we all were in the same state) ... but at least i have all these memories. what if we had never met? what if we had never congregated under this roof?
i miss you all.

I am so glad to see that I got some entertainment out of my breakfast this morning (chortles and snorts!) it was fabulous!

Miss you all!

2004-09-05T23:16:00.000-04:00

I haven't blogged in ages, so this must be profound. Hello, old friends!

2004-08-25T00:49:00.000-04:00

This roks.

2004-08-23T22:03:00.000-04:00

So at Kohl's today I decided to take a risk and get the Pyramat Lounge Chair for my dorm room. Why such a risk? I'll tell you.

The Pyramat Lounge Chair falls under the category of what Deb's mom likes to call a "White Elephant," whatever that means. Potentially, it could be extremely useful as a chair and a mattress...albeit slightly short for anyone over 5', but substantially better than my hard-ass floor. Then again, it could simply gather dust and be an utter waste of greenback. (Thankfully, it's not quite a waste of space since it folds up so very nicely and neatly). But all in all, Kohl's is fun. They're trying hard to be like Target and failing, but at least I get to take advantage of their sales! No jersey sheets, though, so if anyone has those coupons from Bed Bath and Beyond I still need to go get those sheets from them.

2004-08-12T20:19:00.000-04:00

Blogging from Maine on the slowest dial-up connection known to...meese.

That's right, the meeses are out and they are just as lovely as I remembered them.

Until next time...and don't forget to drink your water.

well hullo friends. i decided that my being at "clown camp" was occasion to write my first post in awhile. i'm having a blast and the people are fucking awesome. we're all so incredibly different, and yet we all just click. i'm in pain, but it's worht it. i seriously look like a bettered women, i have bruises all over my body and i walk with a limp. we're all getting the crap beaten out of ourselves and having a wonderful time. i miss you all terribly and i hope that all is well. love you so much!

2004-07-26T10:57:00.000-04:00

Nick, you've inspired a new band name.

Moose Caboose. It's very very hard to come up with names this original, and this amazing. Nick, you're a genius. Andrew had a incredible knack for it...damn I miss that kid. Gotta see him soon.

The babies are doing great!

2004-07-20T19:54:00.000-04:00

My hair, it grows!

I first thought Tilly-boy was talking about my ear-mites and I had to sit down and ask myself if I had ear-mites and why Tillman of all people was cleaning them out. Then I realised it was a dog we were talking about here...

I cried today after Andrzej Wajda's Man of Iron. I'll tell you all why later.

2004-07-20T14:20:00.000-04:00

Oh. My. God. You know what the most amazing, fun, and just exhilirating thing to do in the world is?

Clean out Moose's earmites. From his ear. I love it.

2004-07-19T05:58:00.000-04:00

Greetings from Belgium!
It's lovely to be back!
Miss you all!!!

2004-07-18T19:39:00.000-04:00

Quickly, Tom! Grow out your hair!

2004-07-13T19:35:00.000-04:00

How about a post from Philadelphia! Woo...

Yeah, shaddap.

2004-07-13T13:26:00.000-04:00

How bout a post from Newport, RI?

That's where I am.

So hey guys.

Tom...come back! I miss you.

I miss all you guys (if any of you still read this).

2004-07-10T16:26:00.000-04:00

How about a friggin' post from Poland-land for action, eh? That's right, across-the-ocean action! Boo-yah! It'll be good to be back in the States, but it's Krakow is an absolutely amazing city, and you have no idea how good it feels to be 'home.' With Polish cuisine and all!

2004-07-07T23:46:00.000-04:00

OOOOOOkay, this blog needs some action.

So lets go people. Duh.

2004-06-20T14:11:00.000-04:00

Seriously, who would have thought that an operating system that's about to be replaced would be so hard to download. Anyone know of any relatively nice, free, no hidden crap, Carracho servers?

C'mon, I know you doooo...

2004-06-20T13:36:00.000-04:00

The Hunting of the President

Holy shit...

2004-06-10T18:49:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday Nick!!

2004-06-02T01:01:00.000-04:00

Congrats to Heather for getting Players President! I'm sure you'll do an excellent job :)

2004-05-22T14:11:00.000-04:00

2004-05-20T15:12:00.000-04:00

here's my own shameless plug:
Hilltones & Laurelei concert (yea, the may 18th one) on Sunday (the 23rd ...), at 730pm!
If you aren't there, i'll kick your behinds. all of them. so don't force everyone to have an achy bottom by missing it.

2004-05-20T07:50:00.000-04:00

I enjoy this new blog interface (cw? - correct word) :o)

Just checkin' in - letting you know that all is well and like Heather I have started a "blog" but not on blogger as well :o)

Hope to see you all soon!

2004-05-18T21:15:00.000-04:00

yay! the blog is back! and i've started my own blog!

big scary thunder. running away now.

2004-05-18T00:11:00.000-04:00

I want to see all of you college folk! I miss you all! I miss you all!

2004-05-17T03:51:00.000-04:00

I am First. I am not Last.

It's the Jewfro.

speaking of things Jewish, everyone should check out this. Jewsome. (Like jawsome, but with tallit).

2004-05-15T11:38:00.000-04:00

Yay! Let's start posting again! Let's also have some kind of reunion...cause I am home and very bored! How has everyone been?

2004-05-10T20:22:00.000-04:00

How come "A Moose" is first on the contributors list? I haven't seen a moose around here in years.

2004-05-09T23:19:00.000-04:00

Blogger looks new and different today!

But alas... I am denied.

I meant that the actual blogger interface looks different today but the blog should look different as well. So it does. Perhaps this will incite people to post again as you're recovering from exams or just begining them - all the same, post or no post, this is a nice clean look. I didn't make it this time. Oh well :)

2004-04-22T03:41:00.000-04:00

finally, a cat made just for Sue: http://www.code16.com/cat/

2004-03-22T10:52:00.000-05:00

Yes, this is a shameless plug. OTB's spring show is April 2nd and 3rd (Friday and Saturday). We just picked the show title: Coqui vs. Rafael. You are all invited (please come...I have a solo!)!!

2004-03-21T16:51:00.000-05:00

Everybody smile!
Life is beautiful, and I lost track of that for a while. But I've rediscovered my smile.
Go rediscover your smiles. I promise, it'll feel good.

Players...just can't get enough.

2004-02-21T21:04:00.000-05:00

Student concert. Pretty sweet. Yes.

Isnard's 'Hey Ya' was amazing. Mark my words, this man is the next Idol.

2004-02-13T21:43:00.000-05:00

To clear up this debate:

The correct way that it is said is, "PASSION...PASSION...JEFFERY!" Do it for us, oh god of the descant passion!

God, I love that kid. Finally the beat boxer can dwell in the shadows for a while.

2004-02-08T20:28:00.000-05:00

A Cappella Fest last night...fantastic work on all parts. We really need to work in some choreography or do some more incredible pieces. But it was so much fun, it always is. God I love it. It needs to happen more than just once...

I think I screwed my last note too...

Oh well! It was amazing, and I can't wait to hear the recording.

2004-02-07T13:31:00.000-05:00

A CAPELLA FEST TONIGHT!!!!

crazy. =)

2004-02-05T01:13:00.000-05:00

Dear God.

ICCA's are this Saturday in Rochester. Fucking Rochester. Rochester that's seven hours away on a good day, meaning to get to the competition in time we have to leave at 7am on Saturday. Death.

Rehearsal today left me feeling rather post-coital: exhausted to the bone, yet deeply satisfied. My outfit of a black tux shirt and pants with a silver tie has been approved. w00t!

Today was quite a beautiful day. I hope the rest of winter is as sunny and white...except the days when it snows up the shizzle (as my roommate would say). No more crappy gray days like two days ago...that sucked. Snow or sun! Who's with me?

Alright, I must go do work...can someone tell me when the spring Players show is?

2004-01-29T20:35:00.000-05:00

dear god, I could hardly remember my password.

So we've just wrapped up auditions for the Players spring show, "Museum". A very cool show. I expect you all to be in the front row on opening night. I'm really stoked to be stage managing, especially because my partner in crime is one very cool individual known to many as Alison Curry. Should be a good time (as if I could NOT enjoy myself at the Rec).

I miss you all horribly. Maybe it's got something to do with the dreariness of January, I dunno. Come home soon. Or invite me to come visit you. Or maybe I'll just show up univited. . .

2004-01-26T22:39:00.000-05:00

Hey blog. Its definitely been a while. I just want to let you know that my feelings for you have never changed. Oh blog, I just felt as though I needed some space, some time on my own. But now I realize that all I need is you. Please oh please wont you take me back?

2004-01-23T22:09:00.000-05:00

Miss you all a whole lot.

2004-01-21T14:01:00.000-05:00

I got a solo!!!

2004-01-16T23:12:00.000-05:00

Track tomorrow morn'. I'm running the 400 (at between 8 and 9 in the morning - wow) for the first time ever. It should be ugly. Very ugly.

Exams. Exams. Latin starts the magical chain on Tuesday afternoon. (but should I be at SS early anyways? Decisions, decisions...) Then Euro and Math on Wednesday. Someone shoot me right now. Actually, don't, but you get the picture. At least we have Physics Thursday to end the fatal cycle. Marty prepared this sweet study guide, and I'll still be in the 'quantitative zone' after Wednesday's Math. I'm sure exams will work out wholly fine as always... except Euro...

Seems like this community blog, along with all but a few personal blogs associated with it, is dead. Oh well. Perhaps spring will bring more than just good weather this year.

I'm done ranting now. Good luck with exams, all. (A shout out goes to Kelsey Heinze - AP Latin AND AP Euro, whooooo!) They'll be over soon enough, I think.

2004-01-15T21:47:00.000-05:00

If you didn't see the video, well, too bad. It's offline now. Hope you all saw it.

2004-01-06T14:25:00.000-05:00

I thought that they would cancel my posting abilities by now. But I guess not. I thought that I would post some just so that you didn't think that I had died or anything. Just in case you cared. I hope to see all of you when I get to Philly over this coming weekend. See you soon.

2004-01-01T13:05:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year!!

I have 12 goals so far...but I'm gonna try to make 18.

I have no idea what mine will be. . .

I just stumbled upon a live Guster album. that makes me smile.

20 ways to monkey with telemarketers

Funniest ways to deal with telemarketers I've seen in a while. Some are really funny. Check out the one about the wife who gets upset when the guy asks for the "man of the house." I'll be using these soon enough...I hope.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Sorry, not exactly in my most Jewish element at the moment.

Merry Christmas to all.. and to all, a good night.

And then there was a comic strip about the best hairstyle ever.

2003-12-21T15:00:00.000-05:00

This is new and crazy. An idea of two nights past.
Here's a holiday gift to all you people who still show up here. We're all so far apart now, I hope we can get a few more parties together before I leave at least so I can see everyone a few times.
If you refresh the page, you get a different image (there are all of 6 right now). I've been looking for more pictures over the past few days and I ask you if you have any pictures of lots of people that you think would look good as one of these banners, please tell me! You can scan it and email it to me or you can let me borrow it for a day and I'll scan it. I'd like to get a few more because quite frankly, I don't have that many and a random array of six images isn't too much fun.
The stats link on the right (if you're interested in that kind of thing) can be accessed with the email 'design@authenticgeek.net' and the password 'chortles' - feel free to browse through the neat features they have, I'm really fond of the way they do stats.

Everything else works the same. Hope you like the way it looks.

IT'S OPENING NIGHT!!!!!!
I am so so so excited!! It's going to be so good! AH!
The combination of sleep deprivation and excitment meant that no work got done in school today. And no work's getting done tonight, either.

Make it sparkle,
Make it shine,
Give 'em hell!!

Not to start a countdown competition, but . . .
9 days . . .
How does opening night always creep up on us like this? I've never been so nervous about a show, which is strange, since this show is in the best shape of any I've been in. But I'm really excited at the same time. =)

Otherwise I'm stressed and tired, but relatively content. Crazy.

See you guys tomorrow... I will be in Philly :o)

2003-11-26T00:46:00.000-05:00

yeah, I'm unoriginal...so sue me. I'm bringing home some Clefs CDs as well, (and I have a bunch of Guster CDs if anyone happens to want one! No KIT yet, though...)

And yeah, chemistry in college can rape you, but I still like it...shit, that sounded really really bad...

Thank you SOooooooo much to those who made it to my show! 'Twas awesome!

2003-11-25T20:54:00.000-05:00

I can't wait for Thanksgiving break! I can't wait to see all of you guys. I really miss everyone....plus I'm dying for my grandmother's food!!

2003-11-25T00:11:00.000-05:00
