I found it! This is a blurb from a writing class I took in 10th grade:


A solitary piece of dolomite languishes patiently in the noonday sun. Baked by millennia of Sol’s harsh radiation, its dull ochre hue extends into the sand around it; sand that once composed the bed of an ancient sea, but now lies desiccated and cracked in a jagged pattern. Slowly the vicious sun retreats from its high ground, permitting an inky shadow to slither into life from beneath its rocky shelter. The stone continues to sit well into the dark hours, innocently watching as tiny points of light swirl in timeless dance above. When the time is right, it begins its journey. A few cautious inches at first, the rock creeps westward, gaining speed and confidence as it moves inexorably towards the horizon. Pausing at the first glimmer of light in the east, it continues but a few feet before settling down. Soon a red-gold face can be seen in the east, but the rock is already sitting innocently, looking forward to the evening as it dares the sun to make a comment.

Pic unrelated but found in same folder... excerpt from a video that I think was a creative reinterpretation of the red badge of courage. I'm in the black. In retrospect, my life in 10th grade seems far more interesting than now.

So writing lame poetic stories about rocks that move and making short films of you play fighting with swords is more interesting than your life now? You must live a horrible life.

To whichever one one of you introduced me to the Moscow Mule, Thank you.

To those who have not heard of this it is made by getting a kitchen glass, put 2-3 shots of vodka in, fill rest with ginger ale, and squeeze in a slice of lemon or lime.

Alternate method: 3-4 shots of vodka, Fill rest of glass with ginger beer. The kind that burns.

also, someone mentioned white russians, I like black russians. it's the same thing without milk or bailey's.

another drink I like, if you have cheap mixing whiskey (something I wouldn't drink straight) is whiskey mixed 3 to 1 or 4to 1 with amaretto. I've done the same with peach schnapps instead of amaretto when that was all that was available. Again, serve on the rocks, or shaken with ice and strained in a cocktail glass.

Blancmange (pronounced /bləˈmɒnʒ/ or /bləˈmɑːndʒ/, also known as shape) is a sweet dessert commonly made with milk or cream and sugar thickened with gelatin, cornstarch or Irish moss, and often flavored with almonds. It is usually set in a mould and served cold. Although traditionally white, blancmanges are frequently given a pink color as well. Some similar desserts are Bavarian cream, vanilla pudding (in US usage), panna cotta, and haupia.

The historical blancmange originated some time in the Middle Ages and usually consisted of capon or chicken, milk or almond milk, rice and sugar and was considered to be an ideal food for the sick. Tavuk göğsü, a Turkish dish still in use today, is still made with shredded chicken, as was the medieval European dish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blancmange

I was debating whether to put this in /m/edia or in /s/urvival, but IIRC OPchan had some good discussion going last year when the first season was on.

Season 2 started last night and I look forward to a decent discussion again this time around.

I saw the first episode and kindof liked it. It's not presented blatantly as a reality show and it's edited so that the participants don't reference the "game" or the "show."

The personalities seem diverse and interesting enough, but not to the point that they put these certain people together solely to cause infighting and entertainment. Though they might seem like idiots, is that not a fair sampling of what the general population is like? Isn't there always that old guy who thinks his experience is worth the most? Isn't there that young guy who thinks he's the biggest swinging dick around? Isn't there the religious guy? Aren't most people not going to have great survival knowledge in those types of situations?

The challenges they face seem interesting and realistic too. I was happy to see a melee between banditos and the colonists where people got pepper sprayed and hit with big sticks and stuff. It didn't seem simulated at all, aside from the somewhat silly quarantine tent.

First time i saw the show was last night... my first impression was they ruined a perfectly good idea for a show with the gov't bio-disaster quarantine, somehow dropping you off in an sh*thole town with a tent and some unmarked cans, scenario. wtf

good job with using the sand to filter the water (don't use chemically treated wood charcoal next time, dummies, enjoy your discovery channel cancer) and the battery to spark a fire tho. but that's about all they did right. moving to the building behind the tent was a dumb move, and why didn't you cook up the snake? that's a free snack that crawled right up to you and presented itself

IRL, shoulda dropped the tattoo fag and his bitches when they came around to get steal their stuff one millisecond after it was clear they weren't the co-operative type. why would you mess around with a potentially lethally infected douchebag obviously looking to take whatever you have and leave you to die, and let him go, to get more douchebags for later?

of course they can't kill him on the t.v. show, so it's all just a farce, and a waste of time.

more survivorman/dual survivor less bullshit pls

still, i'll probably tune in next week, for 30 minutes or so

I guess I'll do my "Watch and Report" like I did with the first season. Hopefully, they didn't pick people who were designed to have the skills, but instead chose normal people who would have to go to work to try to survive.

Right off the bat, as it glances over the Colonists and their backgrounds, I'm a little happier. Instead of "Mechanic, Doctor, Engineer" there are people with construction skills, improvisers, and people who wouldn't seem to have the good skills (model, teacher). More realism can be a good thing. Now, if the producers will just give them guns. ;)

Sally, the Auto-Mechanic reacts with shock at the devastation. George, the Artist/Inventor, starts by looking for someone to order him around. If he keeps that attitude, he needs to be ordered around by someone else, because he won't have any ability as a leader. Jim, the Carpenter, introduces himself and makes a more current assessment of his surroundings than Sally did. When the Colonists arrive at the VOPA tent, they take stock of their food supply. Reno, the Foreman, brings it down to a very pragmatic approach - survival of the fittest and skill sets determine who makes it. Good insight. Becka, the model, looks good. She looks into the medical supplies and their surroundings, but seems depressed about being where she is. Well, there will always need to be breeders for the next generation after a disaster.

Reno and a few others wander out and collect anything they think might be of use later: tools, clothes, etc. Reno is showing good insight. Sian, the Teacher, turns out may be more useful than I first guessed. She starts off by trying to figure out which building will be the best to take up residency in, recognizing that a large, white tent in the middle of a wasteland isn't the best shelter. She teaches Geological Disasters and Resources, so she may have knowledge that can be applied to the current predicament. Deville, the Retired Contractor, seems like he would be a good person to have around. He realizes that they should stay off the ground floor to avoid possible prowlers, has found a bike for transportation, and seems to have a good head on hi

Any Operators set me up with some solid fishing tips? I just took a trip to Home Hardware to update my kit. I got some jigs too, not pictured.

I live in Saskatchewan, so I will be likely out for Walleye and Lake Trout, if that helps.

I just discovered a couple large packages of forgotten elk and deer meat from last season in my freezer. I'm slowly making a batch of elk jerky and have been taking pitchurs to make a thread.

I make mine with a combination of a smoker and an oven for the finishing touches.

Tourniquets are taught in civilian medicine to be used as a last resort, but if you ever do military medical schools (Basic aidman, combat medic, corpsmen, OEMS, PJ, SOCM, SFMS) you'll be taught tourniquets are first line, since they work really well.
You can leave a tourniquet on for hours. Any one who has ever scrubbed in on a peripheral surgical procedure (arm/leg etc) has seen firsthand the use of tourniquet and epinephrine for hemostasis during the procedure, they are used all the time clinically and operationally.

SOP for my guys was every man has a tourniquet in their left cargo pocket, no other shit in there so you can get to it. And for airway, I carried a scalpel, 7.5 ET tube, and duct tape. (Also good for SCW repair).
