Will A Soul Ever Glimpse This Update?

This clean white blog is in some sort of bad disrepair... that last post (which was in truth a rather lame, formalistic and ultimately failed attempt to generate more posts) is just hanging there like extremely resilient dry erase marker...

I woke up early to get cracking on my last paper of the semester (a methodological comparison and critique of Hobbes and Rousseau's respective approaches to the development of the social contract) and i'm entirely too excited about this summer to even begin without acknowledging it. Thus, in the spirit of at least some of our previous undertakings, let me proceed with the first list of the summer.

Entitled: Things I Will Enjoy

Reading for Leisure
Walking in the Woods
Driving on Straight Roads
Watching Television From My Computer
Mowing the Lawn
Digging Holes While Listening to Audiobooks
Encountering Mammals
Gaining Deadly Slingshot Accuracy
Working With Wood
Standing Near Water
Constructing Sandwiches
Devising and Creating an Elevated Tree Stronghold
Staring Into the Fire
Sipping Slowly
Generally Meandering
Drinking Milk

Phew! I think that's all for now. I'll go write that paper now and be on my way.

i am way excited too and that kinda scares me because usually things that i'm excited for turn out to suck

Good list, sir. I"d like to offer up a few addendums in the spirit of not doing what I should be doing.

Summer Things I Want to do Right Now:

make shitty frozen pizzas and watch things
build igloos (or was that more of a winter activity? can we have a summer equivalent?)
endangered panda
walk the extent of fc, possibly arousing police suspicion
sockey!
entertain ourselves by being utterly retardiculous
mason city (woohoo!)
make lists
make, or ambitiously expect to, make movies
kick it at the gizz & split
photo shoot in the leland telephone booth
make underhanded mafia cash
get on somebody's hit list
terrorize the fuck out of Chicago

Also, I have a few completely moronic and inappropriate responses to the original list:

"I'll walk in your woods"
"I'll dig your holes"
"I'll mow your lawn"
"I'll sip you slowly"
