Oh, I don't know...



Even without family, I'd still have my job to drink about.

Speaking of drinking, I wouldn't recommend participating in Chainsaw Art while imbibing. But maybe it would be a good thing to shop for when you're drunk.



PS - I added a link to Kate's blog on the sidebar. She's a really creative photographer - we did a set of bridal pics and had an absolute blast running all over Tempe - so I just wanted to give her a little press, even if it only reaches, like, four people. Yay, Kate! :)

In our survival class, talking about one of the more zealous members (absent at the time):

"Just take him with a grain of salt, okay you guys?" - Teacher Prone to Giggles
(undertones) "Just take him with a gram of coke is more like it." - Teacher Prone to Swearing

Zealous Outdoorseyman showed up later:
"And I'd eat another lactating rabbit, I don't care!"
Apparently, they're delicious. Hm.

Class also involved the phrase "I told them, you guys are the Lord of the Flies preschool!". I don't remember the context of that one; I just found it in my notebook.

One year ago - almost right now! I'm such a lucky girl. :)

"Yup, the most famous stuff on earth: duct tape."
-Wilderness Survival Teacher Person

That might not be strictly true, but I hope it's at least in the top 100.

You know when people ask questions because they want to seem smart, and it just backfires in such a major way? We have one of those in our class. Oh, so many questions does she ask.

"Um, so I know you shouldn't drink alcohol to warm up in the wilderness, but could you bring, like, a flask, of like tequila or something, for like cleaning wounds and stuff?"
-Dumb Girl in Class

The look on the teacher's face was priceless as he tried to think of something that wasn't equivalent to saying "They're called tiny little rubbing alcohol wipes, dumbass!!"

I'm gonna go have a beer and sit on the couch. YEAH.

What a cute little juice box, with monsters on the front!


It even comes with a little straw!


Blech!! It's not juice! It's a little box of sake! Perhaps it should come in a container with a warning?


Thanks to Black Susan and Stash Kovac for the exciting gifts from Japan! (The warning box is from a very small robot!)
