Yeah. People who swear at their parents thinking it makes them look super edgy
really look like this, unless they're in that rare category of kids that have a relationship that relaxed, humorous and understanding with their folks.
No Jacob's mom was actually cool with it, Jacob just gets excited easily.
Anyway yesterday, and coincidentally today as well, we had a delicious breakfast cooked by Noxid's grandmother, who is our own personal chef and she makes delicious food. If any of you are ever in New Brunswick I recommend being friends with Noxid so that you can eat his grandmother's food.
Since we've got an SNES, we played Donkey Kong Country for a while after that. We kept dying at the fucking barrel cannons part, except I kept dying way before that because I suck at video games. But I'm good at making sandwiches, apparently, because the sandwich I made was the most delicious one.
The reason we made sandwiches was so that we could eat them at the top of Simpson Hill. We wanted to go on a hike with a view, but unfortunately we had a lot of trouble finding the trailhead. We drove right past it and into St. Andrew's, a quaint tourist town with a red beach and dramatic tides. Jacob had never been to an ocean before, so we had to walk all the way to the end of a spit of rock and feel it. We drastically underestimated the ocean's contempt of all things outside of its realm, though, and almost got trapped as the tides rushed in at 100 mph. Jacob now has a healthy fear of the sea.
After having narrowly escaped death at the hands of the sea, we fell back to a 200-year-old barracks with three cannons in front of it. The fort was used to defend all of Canada from the Americans or someone, because they hoped that they would sail directly at the three cannons. Most of Canada's defense is based on trusting other countries.
SO AFTER THAT we went to a magical place. A building from the past. A place we like to call... the playground of Noxid's elementary school. Yeah, we played on a playground. There were hardly any kids around so it wasn't, like, SUPER creepy. It was a really, really sweet playground, in our defense. There were a whole bunch of tunnels and steeples and all sorts of activities, but we ended up sitting underneath it (it was quite hot out) and sharing our most embarrassing childhood memories. I think hardly any of them were about poop. Of all the things we could have done, we chose to sit around a playground, and you know what, it was great and we have no regrets.
We headed back to the "wilderness" (there are houses every couple hundred meters) and found the trail we planned on hiking. We signed the logbook at the beginning. "Six people from the internet are climbing to the peak today. Daisuke Amaya was here in spirit." The walk wasn't very long, but it was very steep. Some of us learned valuable lessons about bringing water and
not a soft drink on a hot hike. Honestly, who even does that.
(Jacob does)
The view at the top was quite nice. We threw our sandwiches at it.
After the hike, we were all fairly tired, so we drove home and stayed in the basement playing Super Mario World and Jesus & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. At the same time. We bought Jesus a horse-head hat so that he could jump horses in style. Don't worry, we've got pictures of it and they'll be uploaded eventually.
And then, after the night had wound down and we ate more awesome grandma-cooked food, we watched the second movie on our shitty movie list:
Birdemic. This movie is quite simply amazing.
The trailer should give you an idea of what we watched. It was an educational movie, teaching us about the dangers of climate change and man's impact on the environment, that decided to be an apocalypse film about halfway through. The protagonists are attacked by gifs of birds, and fight back with guns that are way, way too loud because of the awful editing. I REALLY LIKED THAT MOVIE,
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. I THINK I'LL BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR NOW.
But the night wasn't done yet. Instead of going to sleep, like responsible people, we decided to fuck around in San Andreas. Or, as I like to pronounce it, San Andreas. We stole cars, flew around with them, and launched other drivers into the sky. The highlight of the game was when Noxid stole a commercial jet and landed it on a mountaintop. The police helicopters weren't far behind him, though, and he was forced to stack some RV's up in order to reach the door of the jet and take off again. Then he jumped out of the jet and parachuted down to the first mission of the game like a total badass, or he would have, if he didn't accidentally blow up the jet in mid-air.
After that, we decided it would be a good idea to go to sleep.
So if you want, we'll give you the synopsis of today tomorrow, or maybe just post some pictures. If we feel like it. I dunno guys, there's so much fun to have and so little time.
