The Night Starts Here

Cool weekend huh?
















Four cases of 24 for five people, not bad.

It was cool, we got to the site at around 10:00, but we still had to load canoes and paddle to the cottage. We got inside the chalet and it was so wicked. Tons of room, super comfy couches and a great sound system.

Memorable moments include loading our stuff and watching it float away on a canoe, motorboating, climbing, getting wasted in the chalet, chicken wings, space brownies and B, after a ridiculous maneuver involving an axe, smashing his bong.

Can't wait to go again.

Until then, I have a couple things occupying my mind. I'm planning a bike trip to Ottawa, with tents and shiz, with some friends. Sweeeeeet.

I have a lot of gum...

What you so despise.

I bought dis thing, it's called an iPod Touch and it does a bunch of stuff rite.

I'mma need all yall numbers so I can totally liek text and stuff. 'cause you know, there's an app for that, I don't even need to pay for a plan as long as I'm in a wifi zone.

I like telling this one to people:
I'm walking on Bloor street (I'm there often) and there's this Fish & Chips place called Chippy's. And they have one of those stand-up signs outside their little crib. And every day there are different fish puns written on it. A couple weeks ago, someone had drawn a fish dressed as Lady Gaga and the caption said "Cod in a Bad Romance". I lol'ed, went in, and ordered cod and told them that I only came in because of their sign. They're pretty proud of their sign, and apparently they have this in-house competition to come up with the best puns.

NO, I DON'T WANNA BE FRIIIIEEEEEENDSSSSSS
COD IN A BAD ROMANCE
