McClaricious

Cousin Will died last night. I havn't been in touch with him for years, but I always thought he was the ultimate coolest. He kept a scrapbook of anything he liked; quotes, pictures of things he found, and random observations, and showed it to us one time that we were visiting. His whole attitude was so... appreciative, and I think he inspired other people to be the same way. He also set up his own water supply from a creek near where he lived. I'm not too sure how that works, but it's so fucking cool, and it reflects on the way that he didn't take things for granted, and did what he could to avoid waste.
The really sad thing is that he just got married this summer and his wife is pregnant. Now his baby is never going to know him. Just the other day I told my mom that we should have gone to the wedding and that I wanted to visit him this summer.
In most cases, it doesn't really matter how you live your life, you can die any way possible. Cousin Will was one of the greatest people I've ever known and he got hit by a car on his way to feed his mom's dog.

So here's a belated post about our Star Wars day last Saturday:

I had the day off for once and we had talked about how we needed to watch all the previous Star Wars movies before seeing Episode 3 next month. So we spent Saturday in Star Wars garb, eating Star Wars grub watching Star Wars episodes 4, 5 and 6, the original versions, or close anyway... the digitally remastered version, without all the new added crap... Of course my digital camera is a piece of crap so I lost a bunch of pictures, but I reshot a couple.



So of course we all dressed up, me as Luke Skywalker, and the girls all as Princess Leia, in the extact same costume.

A few years ago Gillian bought me a Star Wars cookbook for Christmas so we made up a whole crap load of food from it. We made TIE Fighter Ties, Tattoine Twin Sun Toast, Jawa Jive Milkshakes (we had the vanilla peanut butter ones), Yoda Soad, and of course... Wookie Cookies (they were Chewy)... We had planned on making Boba Fett-uccine, but we were so full we decided not too...

So yeah, it was hella tight... now we still have to watch episodes 1 and 2. Of course we'll have to do that on May the 4th...

Most of you already know about this, but it seems appropriate to post here:

Boss: "That party was a real shame."

Apart from a brief appearance by the popo looking for a guy called Bodnar, very little went on. Kenny's parties were fun before, but this time I realized it was going downhill when Lauren remerked "Where are all the people we know?" It turned out that all seven of them were sitting in the tent with us. The problem wasn't that we didn't know anybody, but rather that we didn't WANT to know anybody.

DUTCHIE

Case in point: A guy who identified himself only as Dutchie sat down next to me and bogarted my joint. He asked if I had ever done crack, to which I replied "No." I guess he didn't see me rolling my eyes, because he went on to say "It's different man!" nodding his head and grinning like a jackolantern. He then revealed that he had taken five double-stacked green Mercedes earlier that morning, and had been running from the police just prior to appearing at the party and had stepped on a nail. But that wasn't all--apparently he was the elusive Bodnar that the police had been looking for. He often gave false names to the police, and whenever they put him in the back of a squad car, he would elbow them in the face and escape. Furthermore, Dutchie, between pleas for more crack, told us that he often stole his friends' possessions, and had just that morning sold a bike for fifty dollars. I suppose he wanted to be friends with us too. He asked if I had any beer. I made it clear that he couldn't have any, so he asked me where I was keeping it. I lied. Sure enough, when I went to get another beer later it was all gone. At first I suspected Dutchie, but on second thought I don't think he was smart enough to find the beer.

I left the party shortly after discovering that my beer was missing. This incident has taught me never to hang out with people who live in Hamilton or go to Brock.

"What's in your pocket there? one of the two cops asked me, "Just your wallet?"

"Yeah." I said, and pulled out my wallet and the rest of the contents of my pockets.

"How 'bout you?" He said to Tristan and Tristan emptied his pockets as well. "What's the flashlight for?" He asked.

"Just 'cause it's dark, and we're walking around,... so we can see."

We were lucky. Neither Tristan or I had anything too suspicious or illegal on us, ie. marijuana, a pipe, etc. Being caught with stuff like that would suck like a drunk whore. I guess we could have said no when he asked us to show him what was in our pockets, but I bet that would have made things worse....

Apparently someone in the neighbourhood had had their car broken into tonight, and we were spotted walking around the area. The area was a small neighbourhood on the north side of the green bridge that crosses the railroad at the top of Drury Lane. After getting awesome we decided we needed to go for a walk and we chose that hidden, almost rural community.

I wanted to walk around for a while and Tristan figured that Ashley and Allison who were waiting in the car, might get bored waiting. We needed something to keep them occupied.

"Here." I said, after running back to the car. "You guys take the weed, so you can have something to do while we're gone."
