Plushie Pins xD

Complexer Word Game #2

Quote from RiceAddikt:

-Word must exceed three four letters.
-Word can only have one vowel in it.
-Y will count as a vowel, but if you have a vowel and a y the word will not count. (e.g.: tryst works, but minty doesn't)
-Word must somehow relate to the previous word (e.g. it rhymes, synonym, antonym, homonym, begins with same letter, ends with same letter, begins with letter it ends witch with, etc.)
-Put the relation to the previous word under your contribution.
-And since this is so hard, each word is two points. (: If the word exceeds seven six letters , three points. (: Oh and you have one chance to edit your post. (:
-I didn't state it because I didn't think I had to, but try not to repeat words. If necessary, you can repeat words about... three pages later.

Marathon Chat '07

(aqhong) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:59:46 GMT

Following TIC tradition, we're going to be holding a 24-hour chat session tomorrow (Thursday, July 26), so if you have nothing better to do, feel free to drop by. What's the purpose of this? Your guess is as good as mine.

Marathon Chat will not be held in the TIC chatroom, but rather at the following URL:
http://virtualatdp.berkeley.edu:8081/draft/chat/
(If you're registered on the TIC site, you do not need to register again; simply use your TIC site login.)

Hope to see you there :)

I'm making this off the top of my head right now. XD Anyways, the rules:

-Word must exceed three letters.
-Word can only have one vowel in it.
-Y will count as a vowel, but if you have a vowel and a y the word will not count. (e.g.: tryst works, but minty doesn't)
-Word must somehow relate to the previous word (e.g. it rhymes, synonym, antonym, homonym, begins with same letter, ends with same letter, begins with letter it ends witch, etc.)
-Put the relation to the previous word under your contribution.
-And since this is so hard, each word is two points. (: If the word exceeds seven letters, three points. (: Oh and you have one chance to edit your post. (:

e.g. if the first word was "ghost" then the 2nd word could say:

host

Rhymes, ends with same letter

(You don't have to put both reasons, but you can if you want to. Also, you don't have to italicize.).

So... let's begin? XD

Matrix Day

(Max Santana) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 04:18:32 GMT

The Internet Classroom and its related classes give due respect to the vision (and execution) of the movie(s) "The Matrix."

Thus, there exists a tradition during which all respectable associates of the class are to be clad in completely black outfits. The purpose of such an exercise is twofold. One: To demonstrate our enthusiasm for the class as a whole. Two: To create an astonishing image during the class photo.

This year, the date for the tradition rests on the 23rd of July. We encourage participation from all on this Monday. Remember, the point is not to wear black, but to follow the Matrix style. Wearing black is merely a focal point for recreating the feel of the Matrix. Half-hearted emulation is not tolerable.

July 23rd.

SF Trip! (Saturday, July 21)

Trip Schedule

07.21.07 San Francisco Farmer's Market

10:30 AM - Meet up outside of Embarcadero BART station at 10:30 and walk to farmer's market at the Ferry Plaza (2 blocks). If any East Bay residents are interested in taking a ferry (!) out to Ferry Plaza instead, contact Lloyd. If people want to arrive later, they can just meet up* at the Farmer's Market before we take BART south to Powell Street Station.
11:45 AM - BART from Embarcadero Station to Powell Station (less than a mile) and hang out downtown. New mall and Union Square?
~12:45 - BART from Powell to 24th/Mission and walk to Mitchell's. If we leave Powell Station at 12:45 it should take us a little over half an hour to get to Mitchell's.
~1:30 - MITCHELL'S

Food opportunities at every stop. The point of the farmer's market will be to eat, and if people get hungry along the way they can grab a slice at Blondie's (Powell) or a burrito to go at El Farolito or La Taqueria (24th/Mission).

*Make sure you have someone's cell phone number who will be there so that if you are late you can meet up with us. I will definitely be at the Embarcadero station at 10:30 AM to meet up with people and we should keep the 11:45 time for leaving the area, but other than that I don't know that we should worry too much about exact time since everyone has cell phones nowadays.
