Raving Amicks

The snakes were enjoying the spring rays today.

On the same note my friend Adam McRae and I came up with a name for dad’s snake the other day. We’re calling him Neville which seems to pair with “Benji” the other snake pretty well. It only took about a decade to name two pets but I think the wait was worth it don’t you?

I just completed this ad today! The previous ad had a bunch of pictures of the employees, which was good but had already been done, and the pictures included many of the previous student employees and hadn’t been updated in a long time. For this ad I wanted to put an emphasis on the student run aspect of the store, and the fact that we’re a non-profit organization so all of our revenues go back into the student body. So I took a picture of Mary a good friend of mine and fellow student worker at the bookstore. Along with the slogan “students working for students” Leigh Ann and I came up with 10 of the top reason why students should shop at our store. We went around the store asking people for their opinions of what they thought were the best reasons. 

The Juniors in the ID program at WWU just finished their products for ReMade, the annual project that asks students to create products from otherwise useless waste. Last friday the students exhibited their work in downtown Bellingham at IDEAL where the products will also be for sale. If you’re interested in buying one of the products or just want to get a closer look, you can go to www.widg.blogspot.com. The products will also be available for purchase this thursday at the Western AS Bookstore.

 This saturday we celebrated Adam’s 20th Birthday in Bellingham. It was a themed party in which you come  dressed as the opposite sex, in order to let loose of the silly gender norms of our society. Chelsey and I went as sort of hickish people. We were brother and sister, Chels was Hank and I was Diedra. Chels, being the makeup professional that she is and having gained from her recent Theatrical Makeup Class was responsible for all of the makeup and costume design. So if you are frightened and shocked out how darn good we look be sure to direct your compliments her way.

Yesterday was a beautiful day so Kyle, his friends, and I decided to go on a hike up to “Oyster dome.” Along the way we saw beautiful views as well as some crazy hang gliders.
