Transcripción

Hey everybody, after much persistence, I persuaded the resident Sub-sub or "section-man" to transcribe the entries from our auld Googledoc, which we have since shed and scuttled to this new domain @ blogspot. There was a short period of vulnerability during which our squishy posterior segment was unprotected, but we seem to have resolved this inconvenience. So I present you the excerpted entries:

October 8 (Nicky’s Birthday)

News from 61 degrees North: the wobbly-toppe godlings are still sprinkling their mischiefs around the church-yard. Fourteen of them in one haul.
Also I found out that Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving, in case anyone was wondering.

October 7
Hi Nicky,
Here’s an article about colony collapse, in case you have time to read it. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/science/07bees.html?src=me&ref=general

Hey Niche, my opinions come in this jauntier font, seriffed and such. Guess whether my tongue is still humming and buzzing with the effects of el garrote infernal while I’m writing this.... I took it during Renaissance Lit. Right now I’m eating the very last greens of the year. It hasn’t dipped below freezing since you left, but tonight is supposed to deep-freeze. No snow in towne yet, but she’s a-coming down the mountains. Anyway, guess whether balsamic exacerbates the devil’s pricks! And I have something to riddle you about shiny black things: how would you know that an iTunes password were even germane to shiny black things if you hadn’t already familiar to them?
There was a kid named Hampus in Järpen. He was me roommate once. Awesome, no?
Tomorrow you turn nineteen? Mexico has already made you two hours (?) older. Want us to send you a birthday care-package? I’m sure mom would mobilise at your slightest suggestion, if she weren’t so up-taken with Santander-eating and chatting with Dave, who is coming this weekend on a whim.
Today I noticed they had inventoried a rosy winter squash as a carving-pumpkin at City Market so it was only 79 cents or something. I managed the Organic Alaska order, and part of cleaning out Mardi Gras’, and returning the library books.
Hope it’s going well, Let us know if there’s something you want to hear.

Lex--come to the rumpus-room, where the wild thangs are.

Hi Nicky,
I hope things are going well for you. I miss you. Where are you now?
Just so you know, Tehben has some interesting theories. For example, he believes the U.S. government is responsible for the 9/11 attacks and the AIDS epidemic. He also doesn’t care for The Jews or Israel. Yea, he really hates Jews. He’s been in Homer for a couple days and I already miss the young boy.
Love, Mom
