So far I don't think we've had a weekly house-meeting that ends in 2 hours. The first two weeks, our meetings were about 4 hours, and yesterday's meeting took three hours. What did we talk about for three hours?
Well, for TWO WHOLE HOURS, we talked about . . . magazines.
That's right. MAGAZINES. We debated which magazines we'll be buying for the house magazine rack. Magazines we can read while we're eating breakfast or midnight snacks. TWO HOURS.
I think we spent about 20 minutes on 3-4 other resolutions before coming to the last item which took up the rest of the meeting: GUITAR HERO.
GUITAR HERO, as I found out, is a computer game. We debated the merits of buying a computer game, and how it would foster social interaction in the house, and the academic vigors of studying how computer games are changing the terrain of human interaction.
The resolution narrowly passed, and the said computer game is on its way to our house.

It better be a good magazine!!

ReplyDeleteHere's a stupid question, if you don't like the meetings, why sit in at all?
