time to eat my first bolete
well i quit my job. there was some talk about staying hired by the Natural Resources Council of Maine, but due to contract bullhunkey, that fell through. I was able to have made a good enough impression, however, for a different job opportunity to come out the whole ordeal. Meet a new private contractor for the Wilderness Society.
to celebrate, lucas and i crammed as many bean burritos as we could, and watched Dirty Work with Colin. i fell asleep, so i did something stupid and appropriate of my age for the first time in a long time - i drank coffee at night time. this gave me the energy to dumpster dive 8 bagels and a handful of donuts for the nonvegan roommates. i only took as much as i could carry, not wanting to deplete the precious resource for any other cool cats in augusta. for those of you that know me best, you can imagine what happens when i drink coffee at night, and chase it with pure adventure, good companionship, and a huge carb-ie bagel. i can't be sure how much i slept... a couple hours i'm sure. The games continued as i ate a bowl of PeanutButter Bumpers and watched the dailyshow at maybe... 4 or 5 AM. dang it feels good to have complete disregard for a sleeping schedule again. at least on the weekends, in honor of bonding with new friends and unemployment followed by employment.
today's highlights included talking to elisa pizza and going for a walk around the block to fight going stir crazy (i had to turn in my rental car yesterday, and we don't live in any sort of cultural center that most likely does not even exist anywhere in this city). the walk uncovered a hike-friendly trail through some woods. that's where i found my first big edible mushroom. i made a spore print to better ensure its identity while i made some cookies. then i followed my guide book's recommendation to only eat a little - but, MAN, was it AWESOME. i love finding food.

and that is the story of the weekend i found food everywhere
for those of you keeping track:
adventures to moosehead (colin, me, moose friend):
coast to coast (goofs climb a small summit view of acadia after finding a sand bridge with low tide):
rachel found a mushroom dance as performed by lucas:
all i can do is hope it's not poison:
"everything we say is funny"
