ps i know that birthday wish is a day late. i tried to call you on the right day though

happy birthday

happy birthday. answer your phone. CALL ME BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR CAMP.

i'm on the phone with chuck. we love you

Nothing can Keep us apart

Nothing. See? I am in Florida, with no internet connection, a broken phone but I am still here writing to you lem! Listen, just keep writing and I will find ways to post over the summer....do not abandon our test child.
I have so much to tell you! I will try to call you, but like I said my phone is wonky....
how is the british writers reading coming? how about that b and b? Let us know. Send me letters and packages at camp please! But not mixes because I won't be able to play them...sigh...maybe I should let Tim know that I won't be reached regularly from email?
I'm getting excited.
Have you ever read the griffin and sabine series? They are just books of postcards and letters...but great...get on that.
I love you lem.
Write me.

realization

while lem is at camp, i am going to have to keep this blog on my own. i don't think i can do it. part of the charm is maybe not knowing which of us write what, and i feel like you are abandoning me with a child or something to watch for the summer. i can't believe you.

thank god you found my key card. i am obviously unable to take care of myself. what will i do without you?

in chicago i think my saying will be...the more the merrier. tell stephanie to start packing her bags.
i feel a bit displaced at home.

jesus camp will be great! you will learn about fish sandwiches and teach children about chasing whores out of churches. as steve timm would say.

Lem- found your key card in the pocket of that green sweatshirt you borrowed the last night!

Also, I hung out with steph tonight and she wants to move to chi-town with us! I can't wait :)

Also....I miss you and all our friends and the informal and and and everything...do you think Jesus camp will be okay?
I am worried about it.
My sister has been laughing hysterically at the bachelorette for 2 hours. .........I gotta get outta here.

WishingIwasatDPU,

Lem

i'm stuck at home when i'd rather be the informal. i think living at home this summer may be the worst decision ever.

someone come rescue me?

i'm too attached to my friends.

Blogging against Clear Channel

You know why I love to blog? I love to blog because I am an "alternative voice" in terms of the internet. If you don't believe me check out Campbell's text "Media, Culture and Society: An Introduction to Mass Communication"- any edition will do.

Last final today. Then I am having fun ALL SUMMER.

things lem likes more than media, culture, and society

my last study break. i swear.

greece.


little alex thompson makes us smile.

Finals

Off colored plaid couch,
cracking necks, feet, wrists.
I try to stretch my bad,
it sighs.
Tomorrow it might be angry with me.

Funny that I am studying for
a psych test that cautions against
a sedentary lifestyle, which
causes obesity.

Margaret Thatcher. Thatcherism. Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold night. The swinging sixties. Image vs. Reality. Austin Powers vs. The Permissive Society. The teenager as consumer.

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say 'This was their finest hour'.
-Churchill on The Battle of Britain (lasting from June to September 1940, they survived due to the RAF's superiority over the Luftwaffa-sp?- mainly in regards to the British Spitfire planes)

Someone save me from the basement and my studies?
