I wish I could say that my entry was late due to its fabulousness and not due to my many other responsibitlites. I can only apologize and hope that the Notebook has a safe journey to all of its further destinations.

Mr Tricks

20:18 / 10.01.04

You're lucky I never got around to boiling some noodles BIRD...

Mr Tricks

16:04 / 13.01.04

So, What's the deal?

Has the book moved on?

Is it still with Mr. Bird?

Is the Notebook Log due for an update?

Olulabelle

08:01 / 14.01.04

Tune in next week to find out.

Bed Head

23:53 / 23.01.04

So, hey! Ba-bump!

It’s been a week Abigail Blue, how’s it coming along? What do you mean, you have a life?

Honestly, I’m not having a go. I’m trying to be a cheery-cheerleader-sort of thing.

[shakes pom-poms] Woo-hoo! Yeah! Go! [/shakes pom-poms]

Bed Head

23:57 / 23.01.04

staggers around in disbelief

Holy fuck. Considering we’re on opposite sides of the planet, that’s some pretty bloody amazing synchronicity, Ms Blue. How’d you do that?

Abigail Blue

17:25 / 24.01.04

* tosses hair coyly, in the general direction of Bed Head *

But seriously, folks, if there's a lesson to be learned here, it's this:

Be sure to write the address of the next person down on a real, solid piece of paper as soon as you get it. That way, when your stupid fucking roadrunner modem stops working, again, you can still send the notebook on in a timely fashion.

Abigail Blue

17:28 / 24.01.04

Oh, and I actually have no life at all, but it was sweet of you to assume that I did...

May I come and play?

Bitchiekittie, I share your affinity for glue. Especially PVA. I saw an ad for a nursery school auxilliary. First thing I squealed was "I'LL GET TO PLAY WITH GLUE!" Not sure if I can say thats why I want the job in my CV though. 'Yeah, I love kids, honest...'

I think this book is a lovely idea. I'd always seen the thread title but thought it was a thread for people who werent at home to jot things down to remember them. Oops.

Olulabelle

07:57 / 02.02.04

And the moral of this story is: Interesting things can often lie behind less interestingly named threads.

Mr Tricks

20:21 / 16.02.04

So . . .

Would anyone care to guess what the average stay the notebook tends to have with each person?

I'd be curious to see what the average Barbelithean Lag factor is...

Baz Auckland

22:42 / 16.02.04

Seems to be about 13 days, not including Schlacthof Funf... with a high of 20 days for Benjamin Birdie and a low of 7 days for tbedlam...

Krug

13:49 / 17.02.04

I can't find the guy who I have to mail it to next.

The list says,

Kegboy – Montreal, but he might have changed his name.

Please PM me with your address Kegboy.

Olulabelle

15:39 / 17.02.04

I believe that'd be Keggers you want. You know, the guy who started this whole thread...

Baz Auckland

15:56 / 17.02.04

You can find the list of participants, and the links to their Barbelith profiles here...

Mr Tricks

18:03 / 17.02.04

Looks like you could also send it to May tricks who's also in the same area and she could then send it to Keggers afterwards...

Saint Keggers

20:07 / 17.02.04

I PM'ed him/her? my addresss earlier today so all should be well.

Krug

04:56 / 19.02.04

Yes I got your PM.

And yeah I'm a him.

Before I say anything else I deeply apologise but I will not be able to put the notebook in the post before Saturday due to some unfortunate and unforseen circumstances.

I'm really sorry and I hope this doesn't ruin the spirit of the thing and my unimpressive contribution to this excellent and inspiring book.

If there's something I can do to redeem myself please say so.

Thank you.

Squirmelia

Anyone scanned it yet? I am interested in seeing what it is like so far, since it seems like it will be a long time before I'll be able to see it.

Mr Tricks

21:57 / 23.02.04

I completly forgot about "scans"

I don't I'd want to see it until it's in my hands... but HEY that's ust me...

Mr Tricks

23:08 / 26.02.04

So... where's this book now?

Baz Auckland

23:28 / 26.02.04

Hopefully it's not been snagged at customs or anything...

Krug

01:34 / 27.02.04

It was mailed days ago to Keggers. Should be there any day hopefully.

gingerbop

23:21 / 01.03.04

So if I am the last to get this, what is to be done with it? Does it need to be sent back to the beginning, whoever that was, or should I scan it (or rather, pester specofdust to scan it) and then have a ceremonial burning? Or put it in the British Museum?

Mr Tricks

23:44 / 01.03.04

How about we offer it up on e-bay and give the profits to TOM for maintaining the BARBELITH server?

No star here laces

05:38 / 02.03.04

Well if it averages 13 days with each participant, and assuming instant transmission, I am 20 people away from receiving the book. 20 x 13 = 360 so I'll get it in a year's time and it's a toss up whether Gingerbop gets it before her bus pass arrives....

invisible_al

08:46 / 02.03.04

Yeah was thinking about this myself, can I make a small plea for people to be quick when they're doing their thing, just spend a few days doing it and don't stress too much about getting it just so.

And I don't even want to think about how long it will take to get to Australia and Finland.

So lets keep it tight so to speak

Jack Vincennes

12:36 / 02.03.04

In a similar vein, I'd just been trying to work out if I'll have made the transition from being Vincennes, Glasgow to being Vincennes, London by the time the notebook makes it to the UK, and am increasingly sure that this will be the case...

Mr Tricks

16:05 / 02.03.04

yeah... way back when we were suppose to spend no more than 5 days on 3 pages (is that rght?).... should it be trimmed down to no more than 4 days on 2 pages? Which may average out to a lag factor of 8 days?

this would make a 15 person at 13 days (195 days = about 6 months untill it's on the west coast --- and possibly in my hands!!!)

to about 15 people at 8 days (120 days =ing about 4 months) hmmm... Thank that gods we're not sending it to iceland or argentina.... or are we???

ThePirateKing

00:09 / 03.03.04

The notebook is a great idea.

Mr Tricks

23:29 / 12.03.04

yeah... too bad this little project is being bogged down by perpetually missed "deadlines"

grant

16:15 / 22.03.04

If Keggers just sent the notebook to May Tricks, and she just dramatically exited the board, is she going to check in here to PM the next in line for mailing info?

Saint Keggers

16:21 / 22.03.04

Well seeing as how Keggers sees May every day, he's going to give her the info.
So who does it go to next?
I got a PM from Kwende Central wondering when its going to Ottawa and letting me know that he/she is still interested if it is...

so someone let me know who gets it next and that person PM me their info.

Mr Tricks

20:08 / 22.03.04

well according to the LIST OF PARTICIPANTS, the next person in line would be Moriarty in Ottawa, ON

Olulabelle

21:09 / 29.03.04

And so did Moriaty get it and has it moved on yet?
