Is anybody still on MHC's LJ still at MHC, haha?

I'm wondering if anyone on campus would be able to drive me to Bradley on Dec 22nd. I'd like to get to the airport around 9 AM, so we'd have to leave here between 7:30 and 8 AM depending on road conditions. I'll pay you $20! INSTANT HANDSOME MONEY

Hello Mohos! I know this is a bit of a stretch, but did any of you attend the Yue Opera event a few weeks ago in Chapin? I am looking for a list of which operas she performed songs from, specifically the name of the last piece where the girl was dressing as a guy and trying to hint that she was a girl to this really oblivious guy. I've tried searching the website, but everything says "five traditional Chinese operas" and doesn't say which five traditional Chinese operas. If you could please help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it.

When: This Saturday (September 19th) at Midnight.

Where: South Hadley Tower Theaters (Across the street from Mt Holyoke)

What: Rocky Horror Picture Show Back to School/Pirate Night --- Catholic school girls meets pirates (why not)

Bring your friends and watch them squirm at the debauchery! -- A great time for all!

The League is will run through Sunday, August 16th when we shall wrap up with a final tournament!

You may join at any time, but the sooner you start, the sooner you can start earning league points.

Yesterday, the person who maintains the Mount Holyoke College Twitter feed put a link to this photograph on my website, and asked which building was in the background. (It's a photo from May Day in 1921.)

Within 15 minutes, I had three email messages identifying the building, and within an hour had four more, plus a query about putting it up on a Facebook page with a link to my website. The power of Twitter! I was delighted to get all the email about it. It turns out that someone in the Communications Office at MHC maintains the Twitter feed, and she wants to tweet about other items on my website in the future. Yay!

It inspired me to update the mystery photo and the featured photo on my website this morning. I have great intentions of changing them once a week, but it usually is longer than that.

Can anyone tell me what the singles in 1837 look like? Or better yet, does anybody have some generic pictures of them? (I'm so thrilled to have gotten a single that I don't even care about the negative aspects of 18.)

Thanks!

Just curious if anyone else is all of a sudden getting loads of mystery-shopper or regional-representative-needed spam in their MHC email inboxes. I got 3 today, 6 yesterday, and 1 the day before.

I forward my mhc email to my gmail account, and usually gmail's spam filter is good at picking this stuff out... all of a sudden it's failing :( I'm tempted to just turn off the forwarding because this is starting to bother me.
