| UW ESA Minutes November 20, 2002 12:30-1:20 Taken by Marc Ducusin People in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Snow Balls (But People in a Cramped Room With a Single Window Overlooking an Unidentified "Structure" Can and Should) The usual summary is currently on hiatus and will return after an undisclosed period of time. -Ashley evinces joy at Marc’s immortalising of her word "queerious" (originally coined in November of 2001) in last week’s doggerel -Erica: redraw for Surprise & Canadiana baskets; original winners have officially forfeited -Snow Ball – Barca Club now unlikely; Steph has had trouble contacting them -Dean from Theatre Students’ Association announces that they have already planned karaoke at the Limelight, Dec. 19 -Erin: Faculty Club a more feasible location? -Marc: retain same advertising formula, i.e., hot Brit actors + kittens = unadulterated delight -Hilary: out of mere apathy or sheer perversion, the Philosophy Students’ Association has declined our invitation (with, it must be noted, a most amusing and genial email); we conclude that they are all heterosexual males, and thus not enticed by said hot Brit actors + kittens -Erica: report on Honours meeting; basically a discussion of various courses; mailbox henceforth proclaimed our Honours query box -Erica & Jamie (first in counterpoint and then in tandem): digression on white boys emulating MTV-constructed/filtered hip-hop culture (actually derived in part from Italian-American Mafia stereotypes), a sure marker of social decay . . . Dammit! [mild expletive for emphasis, as exhorted by Ashley] -Cortney enters après le deluge, her new sweater a $23 bargain as well as a triumph of style and reflection of English Department trends; she then cuts her finger on a magnetic security strip from a book, thus making her person the indirect property of the Beyond Words bookstore. -After the meeting: Amanda, Conrad and Marc (the Troika) declare the common room a "How-do-I-teach-this?"-Free Zone, to be used only by those who properly pronounce "paradigm." Erin, Hilary and Cortney voice their staunch approval. "Ass-clowns" (to appropriate Jamie’s wrestling-influenced discourse) are likewise blacklisted. -Friday: Erica, Marc and Cortney check out the Faculty Club. Verdict: looks good! |
