"Chewing Gum"
Had the first ever Glenwood Ave Pictionary night this week. Team Vermont (consisting of Ben and I) just barely fell short in a tight game against Vallo and Andrew. Both teams were stuck on the final all-play for 4 turns. Seeing as how Vallo and Andrew are known for their extraordinary Pictionary skills (also for having a dog that has diarrhea on the floor and then pisses on you when you try to pick her up), we aren't too disappointed. Ben was definitely MVP of the match though; how anyone can guess whatever the hell I'm trying to draw is beyond me. He did however repay my terrible drawing skills with a hilarious depiction of "chewing gum" 
Ben, his woman, and I saw X-Men Saturday morning. Despite having a few cheesy moments it was very good. Also had another barbecue this weekend. We were planning on a bonfire too but it rained. Speaking of rain, I have to pis yet again. I am so glad I moved my bed by the window. The neighbors probably wonder why we get random rain showers on the roof in the middle of a clear night, or why there is one patch of grass to the left of the porch that always grows faster than everything around it.

Nightly Sounds
We haven't had the best luck with mother nature so far this summer. Last week one of the trees near the house got struck by lightening. Saylor was staying at our abode for the night and was just falling asleep when it hit. Apparently he thought we were in the middle of a tornado and figured it would be safer in the basement. I've never seen anyone run that fast.
First weekly barbecue at the house last night in the middle of a rainstorm. Ended up grilling in the garage. Quite the meal of sausage, dogs, corn on the cob, and steak. Had people over afterwords for some shenanigans. I nominate Pickles for wingman of the year.
On a completely unrelated note, my new goal for the summer of 2011 is to find and tame the fisher cat we have behind the house. About every other night it is screaming its head off, awakening me from my slumber and taunting me to do something about it. I've never hunted fisher cat before, but I am reasonably sure that I would need some sort of tracking beast to get the job done. We currently have 2 animals at our residence, a medium sized half crazy dog and a very tiny black cat. Anyone who has seen the dog in action would agree that my best chance for success lies with the cat.

Skermishes, Girls, and Charizard
It's been a while without a post, so here is the first one of many.
In the time that this blog has been established a lot has happened. I missed the first argument of the house between Pickles and Vallo against Bibb. I received bits and pieces of the argument via incoherent text messages. The day I come back to Maine, keeping in mind that my grandparents drove me back up, I walk into the apartment and there it is in all its glory, a hustler and an empty beer box on the floor. Fortunately the beer bottles were cleaned up from the night before from LePage, Sam Hutchinson and company. From what I've heared, Sam Hutchinson is permanently on the Ban list. I'm pretty sure my grandparents were oblivious though, thank god.
The day I got back to Maine I continued playing Pokemon and enjoying CABLE, that 5 out of 6 roommates pay for... Vallo and I, accompanied by Graveler and Charizard, more or less beat Pokemon Red in 16 hours because we were Pokemon trainers in our past lives. Needless to say I've been distracted from doing homework so I've noticed the smaller things that occur around the house. For instance, there is this animal that pisses when its happy, sad, excited, tired, angry, and even bitter. Speaking of bitter, Pickles has been quite bitter, but I guess it's explainable since he got smoked in darts and disk golf. He just can't let it go, very bitter.
The night of Heidi's Grad party, we had a bbq and had friends come over, including guest appearances by Angelina Jolie and Hannah Doss. One was much louder than the other.... I have a hunch that within a week or 2 they'll both be screaming like seagulls at the same time.

Wildlife
Two new blog posts in a row, holy cow!
Speaking of cows, I love animals. We have a dog at Glenwood, her name is Evil Corporate Giant. Sometimes we have a kitten, not all the time though. There is also a pet fisher cat out in the woods of Glenwood. It's scary and sounds like a child bleeding out. It might eat Evil Corporate Giant someday.
I especially love wild animals. The great outdoors, that's where I was last night with Andrew and Bibb, before he stopped to poop. We ran Keene Farm Loop, the classic shorter than eight, but we call it eight mile loop. It was a nice night and we hammer jammered with some good yammering for a while after the first mile.
Just before we were going to roll down through Spruce Swamp Road we found a snapping turtle! It was old and slow looking and stuck in the sand by the swamp, trying to cross the road. I wanted to help it, but I'm not Jack Hannah and I may have had my fingers snapped right off!
Not too long later, only a few miles later we saw some deer on Osbourne! There was a mama deer and two baby deer. Andrew didn't see them, because he didn't have hawk eyes like mine, but Bibb may have smelled them or something. He's a good tracker like that, he once captured a live wild turkey with his bare hands. They ran back into the woods real quick, but it was cool to see.
After those two bafoons left me, I went out and added on two miles in Gorham Suburbia to get my 10 for the day. Out on Coach's Loop, sure enough I saw a coyote! I was lucky, those things don't come out too much. It was gray and gave me quite the look from the bushes next to the garage it was standing at. I don't know what it was doing so close to town, but after I left the scene I started to hear a small dog cry and bark and whimper. Hope the pup is alright!
