At Prosco...

At Prosco, there was the Nacho Cheese River, running north to south at the eastern edge of the compound. Sometimes, my brothers and I would bathe in the River’s cheese. On very special occasions, we would sacrifice a Buffaloggy to the River God, throwing the butchered animal carcass directly into the River, so as to have beef AND cheese for our ( Read more... )

That's a river I have no desire to ever see.

scientology is worse (and stranger) than paganism.

Wait a sec... justinsmith1 October 12 2006, 20:39:19 UTC

Nice to hear from you, Tiffany - yea, I definitely agree with you by the way.

How are classes going? You need to get postin' - I mean, you're bound to be taking some creative writing class this semester, right?

Classes are going well. Haven't posted in a while though because of how busy everything's been. I'm taking Poetry with Finklestein, but everything we've had to write so far has only been to get the form down rather than actually being imagistic with our writing (although that was slightly important). I should be posting soon. Good to hear from you too. How's everything going?

Hey - same here - classes are going well - difficult, I think, but well - I haven't gotten any midterms back yet, so we'll see - I'll make sure and let you know.

Yea, that's good you're taking Finkelstein's - but it's too bad you're busy - understand though. Make sure to post when you do begin writing.

I was wanting to sit in on a few of Finkelstein's classes actually - I mean, I don't think you can ask for a better teacher with regards to contemporary poetry. I called him the other day - didn't get a response - about the Athenaeum - I got an e-mail saying I needed to turn in the Club Activation Form to secure funding - I forwarded it to him and asked if he wanted to meet for coffee - you might prod him a little bit if you're interested, to see where the Athenaeum stands - it doesn't have an editor as far as I know - he said he'd somehow use his Creative Writing: Poetry class to produce an issue.

Well, yea - I'll be looking for a post of yours. Talk with you soon...

I'm actually Secretary for Mermaid Tavern and there's four students from the creative writing class who placed their names down for the Aetheneum officerships. I turned in the activation forms myself actually. We really haven't met though...and I don't know the financial situation. Apparently whomever was supposed to take over this year disappeared, and therefore Finkelstein had no one for either club. If you still want to come to a class, I can metion it to him after class on Wed. I know this past week, his friend David Revell came in to see him and talk with our class, and he was overwhelmed with that a bit (overwhelmed or over-excited). Whenever you come up let me know. We should get lunch, dinner, or something together.

Hey! Quick response, right back 'atcha (I don't know if I punctuated that correctly)! justinsmith1 October 13 2006, 20:31:54 UTC

Okay - that's awesome that you turned in the forms - thanks, I know Finkie can be kind of absentee with regards to the clubs.

Here's what I'm going to do - I've still got your e-mail (at least I think I do), so I'll email you our flyers and stuff from last year.

Hmmm... yea, I mean, maybe I should burn you a CD with the last issues on it and all that - I mean it's really not that much stuff - but I should probably get to you just a few things.

Yea, dinner sounds great sometime. I'm over by Xavier not all the time - but a lot. It's no prob me driving across the river is what I mean to say. Um... I'll email you later this weekend some of the stuff and maybe we can schedule something.

Thanks,
- Justin

Sounds great! My school e-mail is groenta@xavier.edu just in case you don't have it still. Also, anytime you want to drop off the disk (if you're going to burn it) and are unable to get a hold of me or our schedules are not congruent, just drop it off at the Welcome Desk in Gallagher when you get a chance. The students there will put it in my mailbox. We'll figure out a time that works for dinner.
