jacob weinerschinitzehlfrischershwitz is on the naughty list.
he is not very nice to me, and i am sad by this.
although i believe in the end we have a mutual lack of
trust for one another, i really hope
you don't actually find my room and throw a waterballoon at me?
that'd be sweet if you forgot about that one. thanks.

peace and love people. thats what its all about.
none of that hokey pokey stuff.

then yes we purposely don't want you there.

happy mothers day, sam!

bbq at kwattz casa.

or give your two weeks notice.





oh wait...

the time is now.

tonight was the first time i actually stayed and watched a production night take place. although i enjoy spending time in the office on wednesday night, i feel as though my presence is not beneficial towards the ultimate goal of producing a newspaper by deadline. my volume tends to go up a few notches because the office is so darn quiet, and everything seems to be a little bit larger than life and i'd dare to say a lot funnier when in the office. alas, i blame this volume and humor problem on the vapor-esque drugs that are trigged to spray when the office door swings open.

i am one of the select individuals to receive the one-year-complimentary-chimes-staff-vapor-drug-ceremony every time i step into the office. and for that, i want to say thank you.

on a completely unrelated note, i am pleased to announce that Nathan Gentilin has chosen to continue stalking the Chimes for "a project he has for a anthropology class" (aka, the CIA). It was brought to his attention tonight that it would be beneficial for Nate to see the Chimes Staff of 2008-2009 outside of "the dark, and in the light" (Julianna, Copy Editor. New E.I.C.) I understand that the light and dark metaphor may be puzzling to some of you more literal readers, thus I will try my best to unfold this deep statement. The dark, I believe, is referring to a confined, physical location of the Chimes office (this is located on the upper portion of the Student Union Bulding--SUB) which coincidentally lacks proper light bulbs in some lamps and often produces a shady, dark aura over the work space. The light, I believe, is a metaphor for the real world (as in, not the MTV show). The world outside of the office.

Think about it people. Have you ever seen Julianna eat food? I haven't. Can Gail drive a car? I don't know--I've never seen her do it before. Does Kelsey actually go to Torrey sessions? Does Mike actually drum? Does Kyle actually have a CD? Does Katie actually have a sister named Laura? Is Siobhan really an international student?

These are burning questions. Questions that cannot be answered within the context of the darkness.

So I challenge you, staff of 2008-2009.
REVEAL YOURSELF. STEP IN THE LIGHT.
Stop being so darn mysterious, for crying out loud.
We have two weeks left. 1/4 of you are leaving us for good.
Get to know one another. Ask the tough questions.
Have lunch. Go on a photoshoot.
Ask her out all ready. Learn MIke's middle name.
Ask Kelsey what she wants to be when she grows up.
Ask Siobahnasfen how to spell her name for real.


Don't wait.
The Time is Now.

thanks boys.

one of my favorite people of all times.

RIP chimes online.

we at the chimes are selfish and inconsiderate.
we are praising and celebrating a new website,
when the old one has been forgotten. it is alone, hurt,
and it has asked me to announce that a proper
burial is in order.

so, fellow chimes gossip bloggers, i propose the question.
do we care more about the beginning of a new era?
or the closing of a beautiful chapter?
we must commemorate both.

and for that, i have chalked the campus
with both Funeral and Party announcements.
We must be the voice to the voiceless,
and since the website is dead and has no voice,
we must properly bury it.
It was faithful, filled with pixels and photos, and mega-bytes,
and videos and audio and text, and...i dont know if i can go on.
the memories of that fateful site is hard to recall.
metaphorically speaking, my fingers are crying.

So on behalf of the dead website,
i am asking that we all wear black on Thursday.
and at noon, we will pause. i ask that each one of us
will take a 2 hour pause, and think about the good things
that the old site has brought us. the laughs, the joys, the memories.
(please note that I asked Sam if these hours would count towards
paid Chimes hours. He paused, choked up and shed a tear, and
with a deep sigh he let out a feeble and trembling "Yes...yes
they can count".

at the end of these two hours, i would ask that
you take another two hours and shift geers into
the joyous occasion of a new site. now we can
rightfully prepare for the party of the century (stolen from
the chalked quote from michael farr)

So, hottest funeral AND party of the year.
Are you ready, 2009? Can you handle it?
I know I can.
(except that I have U.S. history so I cant, kind of)

ALSO,
please note that the RIGHT side of the "magical journey to the chimes party"
chalked outside of the cafeteria leading up to the SUB is the BETTER side.
I read on CNN that if you go on the LEFT side of the hop scotch,
there is a possibility of catching the swine flu.
please be cautious in your hopping,
good luck and goodnight.

nate.

he's spying on us all.
