Nature! I've got Nature on my hand! Get it off!
I has a cold. Shall go away soon. Why are there so few gelcap pills left? They're just..better. ... I really need to not have strong opinions about cold medicines. Anyway, summer plans: Spend July packing up stuff and working on to do list, fly up to the Boston area sometime between August 7th and 15th, go camping/renn faire-ing on the weekend of the 18th, spend a week recovering, hang out until can coerce people to help me move into my room.
So... Camping. That will be interesting. I mentioned that nature and I don't get along? Ah well. So sleeping bag, and Toby has a tent, and I can track down those nice little burning wire things that keep the mosquitos away, and maybe sun screen? Will I need sun screen? Hm. And Toby is figuring out what the shower situation is at the camp ground. If it's a stall-type deal, I should be able to treat it like a dorm shower. If there are no showers....That may be impossible. Then there's washing hands. There'll be dirt and nature and sweat everywhere, and I get creeped out if my hands aren't clean. Hand sanitizer is mildly gross, because while it might kill germs it leaves dirt and the like and adds a slimy film. Never could stand that. Was considering carrying around a spray bottle of water and some paper towels, but that would be bulky and inconvenient. Then hanasaseru suggested hand wipes. It seemed perfect. Easily stored in the giant pockets of my cargo pants, convenient, disposable.... Perfect. Then I realized that I'm turning into Monk. I'll never get that bad... But still. If I got Sharone to carry extra wipes, and then mispronounce her name.... "Sharona! Wipes! o.o!" (Don't worry, I won't actually do that.) ... I love Monk. <3 ... Wait... How do you brush your teeth in the wilderness? That's it. I'm bringing lots and lots of water bottles. And if I bring a metal pot-like thing I can heat up the water to clean my toothbrush.... Hm. Might work...
Nothing else interesting today. Sat around and sniffled. Strange dreams last night. Only remember two of them. First I helped edit a paper
zapf wrote about the evolution of language. (Is it sad that part of the dream was literally reading and marking and making editing comments?) Then somebody a lot like Gwen helped an alien escape the planet after said alien drugged everyone else in her lab and hypnotized some minions. Was interesting.
