Word for the Day: Po-mo

I felt sick tonight, but I'm beginning to feel better, so now I can go read some Kant.

My friend told this girl he liked her today, and she was like, "I like you, too." So that's pretty cool. I guess sometimes this girl thing works out.

Every Sunday we play rugby, and today was pretty fun. We also played canball with the GROSS guys, who were my brothers roommates. There were some other guys too. Canball is an extremely difficult thing, but as you are not likely familiar with it, I'll spend some time explaining it.

Basically, it's like basketball. You have two milkcrates sitting on the ground that count as the baskets, and your goal is to get a tennis ball into the basket. The trick is that you have to use a tennis ball can to hold the ball. It can't touch any part of your body. And you can't run with it, you either have to dribble it or pass it if you are in possession. Needless to say it's not a simple skill to master, catching and throwing tennis balls from their cans, but the game is a lot of fun none the less, with the more experienced players having no trouble with the basic skills that make up the game. The rules are in a semi-state of flux, but they've got a few years of tradition behind them now. Anyway, it's a cool game.

I also saw someone blow lighter fluid into a fire from their mouth. Talk about awesome!
