ok, I'm back. Please hold your applause.

It's very nice to be home. No more sleeping in a tent. No more paddling a canoe all day. No more dehydrated food that is supposed to hydrate you. No more mosquitos.

Alrighty,

Boundary waters was a freakin' great time. Mosquitos are a pain though. I was seriously wearing like 6 layers of buy spray and they just kept biting me. So I put on more bug spay. They kept biting. put on a long sleeve shirt. kept biting (through the fricken shirt) Took some of those mosquito coils and tried to get my clothes to absorb the smoke. kept biting.

Did nothing at all. They stopped.

So it turns out that the less you try and do to stop the mosquitos, the more they'll leave you alone. Thank goodness I found that out on the last day of the trip. Anywho, mosquito bites on the knuckles are the most annoying thing in the world. I was wearing gloves for the trip so I wouldn't blister my hands so I have a really hardcore bicycle glove tan. It's pretty sweet. I've taken two showers since I got back, but I still smell like feet. and not good feet either. stinky, stinky feet. and I have aluminum from the side of the canoe stuck to my fingers. what a pain.

But the trip was definatley fun. Did some fishing. Everybody was mad because fishing comes naturally to me. must run in the family. When everybody else was fishing I would sleep. Then, just about when fishing was over, I would wake up, cast twice, and catch a ginormous fish. I got really used to eating fish on this trip. Fish is good. mmmm fish.

Anyway, it's like 12:32 now and I should be asleep because it's just getting to be the wee hours of the night. Especially because I'm still on MN time.

ok bye!

Quote of the day:

cannibalpacker: jim's alive and not drowning in the land of 10,000 lakes! hooray jim!!

spanish word: -- / --

(I don't take spanish class in the summer, and I'm too lazy to look anything up)

Basement Lingo:

This week is just a correction on an old basement lingo. I have noticed that people have been using the word fish incorrectly. While the word fish can be used to replace a swear word, it must replace the whole word, not just a section.

For example:

When replacing the F word:

"FISH!"

"FISHING!"

"FISHED"

"FISH YOU"

but not:

"MOTHER-FISHER"

Just thought I would clarify that.

Current mood: I was trying to find one that looked like it had mosquito bites, this was the closest I got.

Also, depending on your resolution, the white thing down the middle may be off. So lemme know.
