BREAKING NEWS: Future Life on BSR

S and M have recently come to an agreement that in the case of a CCC member winning a colossal lottery jackpot, the said winnings shall contribute to the purchase of 174 BSR. The house will be used as a vacation home for the CCC so we may resume our dance parties and lobby-sitting sessions. What say you?



There will also be a shrine to honor both the tetanus bicycle and the television that was always on whenever a CCC member passed by the house.

The CCC Does Not Condone Bestiality

What? A Hot Classicist in the middle of Indiana? You don't say...

Spotted:

S is in the other Btown, diligently representing the CCC Midwest - Indiana Chapter as she makes her way through the trials and tribulations of the library science field. It turns out that future librarians and archivists study and party just as hard as classicists. Despite the lack of an actual degree in Classics, S has managed to integrate herself in the graduate crowd of the local Classics department. She happily reports that these new Classics friends are just as crazy as she imagined other classicists outside of the CCC could be. In fact, they uphold their craziness and nerd level by their enthusiasm for gossiping about a certain PILF, and their ability to speak Elvish.

Plus, here is a link to the PILF S now wishes was in her program instead of across the campus.

Salve, omnes!

The CCC's third anniversary has come and gone! Let us all partake in some delicious birthday cake.

The Midwestern Expedition

Hearing the call of the wild--or just a lonely Meg--Jackie and Deanna headed west to Cincinnati. While Deanna was excited to return to her native land, Jackie was excited to learn about Ohio. She was surprised to discover that Cincinnati is abbreviated Cincy, was formerly called "Porkopolis", was a major city at some point in American history, and that there is such a thing as the Ohio River!

The Ohio River: Only slightly important

While a not-so-lonely Jackie deepened her love of William Taft, Meg's heart began to flutter when she laid eyes on a waiter at a German Beer Garden the trio visited. Will Meg return to have a taste of his weinerschnitzel? The CCC will have to return to the Midwest to find out!

Lonely Boy Alone in the City of Brotherly Love? Lonely Girl No Longer So Lonely?

We hear that Lonely Girl isn't so lonely anymore in the city that never sleeps. While she seems to miss being out on the town with the CCC elite, she has found more than one way to occupy her time. But J, how will you choose which Big Apple to take a bite out of?

While there may be steam coming off those frozen streets in New York, we hear the City of Brotherly Love is not so loving.

K is rumored to be giving up on love all together. Say it isn't so K? Surely there is more than one Brother (or Sister?) who is willing to lend you some love? Especially since K is on his way to being the hottest new doctor around...

You know you love us,
xoxo

Little- Lawyer Eleni Needs Latin Lessons!

Its been a long time since a posting, but we have excellent news to report: CCC alum and blog co-founder is alive and well and in her second semester of law school. Only hitch, there seems to be a lot of latin cropping up in her readings and our beloved housemate was a religion major... not an actual classical linguist (Its all good. We clearly don't discriminate!) Terms like "sui generis" and "in personam jurisdiction" get thrown around its caused some confusion.

So any housemates out there want to send her some Latin love? It would be much appreciated.

Why, Oh Why?

Spotted:

K trying hard to figure out WHY the CCC just isn't what it used to be?! Gone are the days of hilarious daily (or even weekly?) posts about all our favorite Classics House people. I wish we knew more about E's trials and tribulations in law school. How is lonely girl (J) doing in NYC? B is practically displaced from EARTH all the way in Arizona - when will she return? How is D liking Boston now that half of her college friends are gone? A....where you @, girl? How about S, our favorite girl-loving-gal...Is she still with N? There are so many more people and relationships to address, but I'll stop there. Someone better post soon, or K might jump off a bridge...

xo-xo,
