Chip’s Spynotebook

from last night’s Family Guy. The best part DID NOT include the cast from TNG:

I have been very remiss in my thank you note writing for all of you who donated to the Spelling Bee. The final numbers have not been calculated but the Bee raised around $4000. Our team raised $1200 of that so we are pretty much awesome. I will be selecting the winner for the Chip Prize Pack soon. We spelled several words correctly and two incorrectly.

Correctly spelled : tortoise, philately, croquet, quoin, equinox, lieutenant, tagliatelle

Incorrectly spelled: hellebore, Kinchasa

I would like to point out that we misheard both of our incorrectly spelled words so we need to somehow listen harder next year.

Even though we didn’t win the spelling, we totally blew everyone else out of the water when it came to fundraising. We raised $700 more than our closest competition. So, Yay Triplets!

Hey there.

The spelling bee fundraiser for the Athens Literacy Foundation is tomorrow at 4:00 at the Athens Tech auditorium.

Team Triplets has been sending out the word to raise money and it is not too late to contribute. You can read all about it at http://www.spynotebook.org/spelling .

That’s all really. I will be getting back to my regularly scheduled blogging soon.

I have been a bad blogger. In order to repent, I will start by posting something I saw on PopWatch today.

I have been studying my spelling words and think I am ready for the big bee this weekend. If you have a few extra bucks sitting around and want to contribute them to the Athens Literacy Council via our spelling bee team, the page is up at spynotebook.org/spelling.

I am also behind in posting my 365 pics. I shall catch up on that tonight.

New meme: here’s a totally random way to make your new random band’s new random album cover. Post one! Go to “Wikipedia.” Hit “random” and the first article you get is the name of your band. Then go to “Random Quotations” and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. Then, go to Flickr and click on “Explore the Last Seven Days” and the third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Anyway, you’re now looking at my new side project, which will probably sound like Evanescence if they were on 4AD.

Chip’s Band Name : 380
Chip’s Album Name : Because Nothing Is Well-Done

Awesome!

Hey all!

Remember last year when Cathy, Carrie. and I were in the Spelling Bee? Well, it’s that time of year again!

We will be participating in the Spirited Spell-off Spectacle on February 28, 2009 at Athens Tech.

This is a fund raiser for Athens-Clarke Literacy Council which is a nonprofit, volunteer organization that promotes and supports learning opportunities for adult residents in the Athens community. They believe that developing strong literacy skills enables learners to improve their chances for gainful employment, self-fulfillment, civic participation, and successful parenting.

Last year, our time raised over $800 which beat everyone else and we’d like to donate even MORE this year. You know why we can?

It’s a little thing called the internets. In other words, YOU!

Last year, every person who donated via my blog or Carrie’s was entered into a raffle for wonderful prizes. I’m not sure what Carrie is doing this year, but I have some ideas for mine.

Last year, Sara won (via my blog) and received a box containing books featuring such diverse subject matter such as Kenny Rogers, David Hasselhoff, and Joey Lawrence. Hey, yo, reading is fundamental. There is no telling what you might win this year! Art? Fan fiction? A visit from Chip? The sky (and my attention span) is the limit.

So, here’s what you can do. IT’S EASY. Click the button below, and send us some money. It could not be easier (unless it involved no clicking).

Then, if you can, come on out on the 28th at 4:00 and watch us spell some words!

Some pics from last year:

Happy ValenTimeLord Day!

The Doctor Loves You

Well, it’s Valentine’s Day and I can think of no better way to spend it than going roller skating and then coming home and cooking south western pork in the slow cooker.

Scrappy and I actually did the whole present thing a few weeks ago. I bought us Britney Spears tickets and Scrappy bought us a Mac Mini. Yay!

Here are this week’s pix:

First off…

Zim’s closing??? WTF? This is a picture of me waiting for my breakfast this morning.

I am not kidding that this really sucks. I should have known a change in coffee was the first sign and then the reduced hours but I didn’t actually think it would CLOSE.

If Keith hadn’t mentioned it last night, I think I might only have noticed on Saturday morning when it just wouldn’t have been there. I went before work today and got bagels and some cheese grits. I had a pretty good Frat Melt last weekend so I might just let that be my last one. No need to risk having a bad one (which can totally happen). But, I will probably go back for bagels on Friday AM.

I am upset the most because I totally planned on becoming one of those dudes who goes and has breakfast there every single day with all my buds. They look like they have so much fun…

Oh well. It was pretty expensive really so I will probably save a whole lot of money.

That’s all for now.

P.S. If anyone can steal that table with the sexy cheerleader bunnies dancing on bagels…. we totally have a spot for it at our house.
