Annndddddd.... we're back! I have some exciting topics and ideas to share with ya'll (uh huh, I so went there) and hopefully it is as fun on paper... er foreign made computer screens and it appears to be in my head.

U.S. Adventure!
Ok, so first things first: I want to get a "crew" together to do one of two things this August:
1. Go to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (henceforth BWCAW) for a week or so and enjoy the serenity and awe-inspiring nature of, well, nature! Multiples of 2 are preferable ("That's what she said!" -Michael Scott).
2. Canoe from Mpls./St.P. to New Orleans to raise money for a primary school or other facility in need. If we can just help one school get back on it's feet, it would be awesome. Plus, we would only be paddling down river-- it'd be easy! Even when we take breaks we'd still be flowing. Radical. I am serious about this one. It would take a LOT of planning and networking to get the fund raising thing going, but between you and me I'd absolutely kill at a telethon or other gimmicky event. The Hoffman *wink* is legendary on this continent and others, as well.
Meet the Jetsons!
I used the bank drive-thru the other day, which I haven't done in maybe 5 years, and was struck by something awesome (not literally, Screech)-- those tube mechanisms they have are AWESOME. Seriously, they almost make up for all of those lies the government told from 1776-now about us living on the moon and having hover cars and robots that can play the recorder. I would love to see fast food places put tubes in at table. They'd assign you to a table, you'd go sit and then WHOOOOOSSSHHH! here comes one heart-stopping super-sized value-meal with-fries, diet-coke, love-harmony. I like hyphens, so I tend to overuse them. Is it noticeable?
Anyway, other places that could use those things: bars, pet stores and car dealerships. Come on, how sweet would a tube big enough to whoooosh! a Honda to you be?! Yeah, you feel me, you feel me.
Comedic Timing Is So Hot Right Now!
I've been juggling the idea (not literally, Lisa Turtle) of trying out stand-up comedy some time. Not because I think I'd be good (I use a "fakey" voice when giving speeches and stuff... come across as weird? I dunno, but read on it gets better), but because the challenge would be fun to tackle. Literally this time, I mean I would go for the jugulars people.
Some ideas for content besides my go-to rant about bank tubes and how not having more whooshing going on in is just plain un-American are as follows:
~Everyone has a friend who always thinks it would be awesome for you or others to do stupid, difficult, expensive, or otherwise not-so-awesome things but never do it themselves. Like Chris Day, who physically prevented me from cutting my long, long hair for a spell sophomore year. These people might be like "Yeah, get a tattoo and then take those 5 mystery shots the hobos offered us for $2.41!" or "Extended warranty? How can you lose!" Damn it all, one of those shooters was Windex mixed with some very fine gravel and beard crumbs (hobos all have beards, even the women, because of evolution; they can keep people alive).
Europe '07
To brag, I am going to Munich at the end of March to meet up with a friend and do a bit of scampering about in Europe. Besides Munchen (how the hell does one make an umlaut on here?) I'll be going to Vienna, Bratislava (ever see "Euro Trip"?), Prague, Dresden, and some smaller cities to boot... das boot? Maybe, just maybe. There is a good to great chance that I'll eat doner kebabs (seriously, how do I make an umlaut on this? Prom?) served by Turkish guys and drinks beers larger than a baby emu (which are actually quite sizable birds, you know).
Wow.

You add an 'e' to make an umlaut. i.e. Muenchen, doenner. It is needed for a lot of websites and what not. The German keyboeards have the umlaut letters, but it would be nearly impossible for everyone else. 'S set' is another funky German letter that is just two 's's in a row. Hmm what else... some of the old letters look very strange. For instance 'l's can look like 'k's. There are a whole bunch of oddities, but you'll find that out soon enough. Glad to see you are writing again.
