Quentin: 11

        I am currently sitting in a hammock stationed sturdily between two trees in Alexandria, Minnesota. I’m listening to the song “Further Down the Road” by Sylvie and Marina Allen. I’d say, partly due to vacation brain, and partly due to general writers block, I’m feeling unsure of what to write about in this post. I’m on lake time right now, and boy does it feel good. I’ll probably just describe a morsel of my day, and then go back to my life of lounging. Also I’ve been watching an assload of Owen Wilson movies recently, that guy is a superstar. I love him. 

         Actually I’m not going to describe my day, I’m just going to write things I hope to do on this trip.

-Finish the New Yorker Puzzle I brought with me. 

-Wear summer fits that make everybody go “woah so stylish” 

-take pics with my canon 

-jot down one moment from each day so I can create a Minnesota blog for Blog 12 

-play choochie baseball 

-swim a lot , maybe even to the other side of the lake who knows it can’t be that far 

-light fireworks 

-eat 10,000 calories worth of blazin buffalo and ranch Doritos 

-nap in the hammock

-start and finish my book I brought 

-swim with Hercules 

-walk herc really far 

-figure out what the best coffee is at caribou coffee 

-eat Chet’s chicken 

-call the dentist and change my appointment from June 26th to some time in July 

-watch F1 in theaters once Ked gets here 

-go on multiple runs with Lizzie 

-listen from the other room as Nathan and Lucas play pokemon 

-play Mario kart world

-grieve our grandmother 

-talk to Marc and Nancy a lot , ask Marc who his favorite grandkid is 

-go to the downtown diner while wearing my downtown diner shirt 

-see Big Ole 

-thank my mom everytime she makes us breakfast 

-avoid doing dishes or being productive (should be easy no one expects anything)

-play Switch Golf with Nathan 

-watch Bottle Rocket and Drillbit Taylor (I love you Owen Wilson) 

-sleep on the porch with the windows open 

-enjoy the copper smell of the shower 

-go on the boat

-get drunk on the boat 

-jump off the boat (while it’s stationary) 

-write a letter or postcard or something 


This is a stream of consciousness really , so if anything else comes to me I’ll make sure to just add it to the post. Thanks.
