Day 49

Ahoy, me hearties!

Me neighbor knocked on me door last night. Said she sighted a three-foot long serpent right on me own doorstep! I fear no man or beast, but I was cautious as the scurvy dogs and me went a'walkin this mornin'.

Quite the epic battle will be won today! A ragtag bunch o' lily-livered bilge-rats from Utah State was sighted on the horizon. Me boys sailin' under the maroon flag will meet 'em at sundown and show 'em who's boss.

The winds be in my favor this day. I've invited a few buckos over to me aparrtment for grog, gamblin' and sea-shanties! E'er since the sun broke the horizon this mornin', I been swabbin' the decks and brewin' grub. And now that the sun be high, me an' me scurvy dogs be layin' about the place. I've finished makin' me dad's recipe for shrimp dip. I still needs to pilfer some baked goods and go ashore to get some grog. I still has plenty o' time. Me buckos won't be comin' over till' 4.

'But Cap'n!' Ye says. 'Why ye be talkin' so?'

Ye never question the cap'n, I says. But since I likes ye, I tell ye.

Because it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day, that's why.

YARR!


UPDATE

Don't feel like talking like a pirate anymore. No one came to my party. Well, Kai, Scott and Katie came by, but it was around 3:45. At 4:15, one said he wasn't coming. At 5:45, two more said they weren't coming either. I told the fourth she didn't have to come, so she's not.

Made a lot of food today. Don't know what I'm gonna do with all that stupid shrimp dip. But tomorrow I'm probably gonna sit somewhere on campus and hand out free cookies and brownies until I have none left. Keep an eye out for me if you want one. I'll probably be around Lechner.
