nomenclature	[Sep. 27th, 2006|05:25 pm]Glorious People's Hypocrisy of Bavaria
[mood** |amused] [music**	in head: The Magnetic Fields' "My Only Friend"]i hearby decree that in GPHB, a box full of kittens shall be called: a "treasure" of kittens. because "litter" just doesn't aptly describe it. 2-week-old kittens are SO SCRUMPTIOUS. especially the ones that like to be upside-down a lot.yes. that is all.EDIT: perhaps in the later weeks of kittens' life, they become a "chaos" of kittens, but in weeks 0-3, they are a treasure. and wobbly.

battle cries?	[Jun. 9th, 2004|04:29 pm]Glorious People's Hypocrisy of Bavaria
[mood** |bouncy] [music**	intracranial -- chelsea morning, joni mitchell]do we have any official battle cries? who is our war dept, if we have such a nasty thing as that? bluewillowtree and I were thinking "yay kitten" might be a good battle cry, but that it would also make sense for such a widespread diaspora as ours is to have many different battle cries!

everything happens at once -- willowr's post reminded me	[May. 19th, 2004|06:42 pm]Glorious People's Hypocrisy of Bavaria
at squankumhaus...What: garden party (nothing fancy like BMC garden parties, just -- well, in the garden, and a party). If it rains, we have the cozy inside, or we can just get wet, so please still come.When: June 12th (Sat), late afternoon / early evening. People will probably be coming and going at differing times. I guess it's around 5 or 6pm that the garden starts cooling off from the day's sun, so that's a good startish time.Where: my place. if you need directions, let me know and i'll get them to you. also let me know if you need a ride. for those of you who might want to bike, let me know and I can work out a route for you from wherever (jimmi_obadger and greyhoundliz, if you want to try something different from last time, I can work out a route from the Atco train station, or the Lindenwold station if you want to take PATCO instead of NJTransit).EDIT: and if you want to stay over that night, you're welcome to. we have a fold-out single bed, a roll-out full-size futon and a big sofa inside, but if I were you I'd bring a tent and use the prime camping-out yard space with fire pit to boot.
