Warning - flowery butts ahead!

We headed to Brushwood on Saturday for Dionysis with (e:Terry)'s mom. The weather was sunny and perfect. A ton of Buffalo people including Mike, Seth and Dana were down there.

The night itself was crazy and I talked to a ton of people. Not that I remember any of them. Terry even had a conversation with a skunk.



We blew ourself up a breakfast fire in the morning and had some delicious cheesy eggs courtesy of Terry. (Too bad it was full of plastic and garbage - Brushwood hippies are really the worst kind of hippies.)









And (e:paul) weaved us some beautiful flower tails, which ended up in Terry's hair.

I went to the first night of the family reunion last week with some of my cousins. I felt bad missing the bigger second day, but it was Dionysis and I really didn't want to miss out.

I saw two of the three cousins that used to live with my family for about 4 summers. It's insane how much of an impact we had on each other. I can barely imagine how we fit 4 additional people in our house for that long. But we were basically inseparable. I haven't seen them since 2010.




We used to be really into making stupid home movies, especially my oldest cousin Andy. Sadly they are all still on mini8 cassettes. How have they not been digitized yet?

After a crazy Square night with (e:mike) and (e:dave), (e:paul) and I went with Mike and Rachelle.We brought the poutine, she brought the entertainment.

is the best anime I ever watched. I just wrapped up the first season with (e:terry).

If you ever want to see a show about a boob and candy loving anthropomorphic octopus, who has one year to teach middle school students to assasinate him before he blows up the earth (after he already destroyed half the moon) - this is it.

The first season covers a year where he teaches his "E" class students to become the best students in the school by beating the "A" class. He also trains them to become master assassins. Also every episode wraps up with him giving a 5 minute speech to his students on education, and how much he cares for his students.

I can't really summarize the weird Japan-ness this show embodies so here's a picture of the cute octopus, Koro Sensei.
