hain’t nary one
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! to all my favourite european vacationites, i miss you and love you and i’m sure you’re having the best time ever.
deano - did you get everything figured out for your flight home??
sorry k-1 and i have been so slack on the posting, so much to do and see on this island. this is the first time we’ve reached for the internets.
i am officially in love with CSI. it’s like the disney world of fishing adventures. i have caught 8 lobsters, i have de-headed a cod fish, and i have befriended the stooks (characters you can’t believe exist until you actually meet them - they say things like, “who fruit, you?”). i also have an entirely new vernacular. i’ve been bracin’ up and crackin’ on.
the cunningham clan are so endearing i can’t believe they made him. they have two cats - fat cat and skinny cat (no one gives pets names around here); kerry’s mom is constantly baking delicious things like nanaimo bars and these other things called sweet squares; kerry’s dad loves nascar and basketball and has a really nice chair he always sits in. they are so nice. SO nice. i hope they like me.
we are going to post lots of pictures. starting with drunk in halifax to climbing up a fire tower. lots of fun. here’s k-1.
hain’t nary one better than this island.
xoxo,

Our first night in Hali-wood consisted of Amy trying to convince me that she had already been in every spot in entire city. Showing me three different spots where etalk had the same Juno party. First official wine glass break was at 10:36 at Seven, where she used her head in a fit of laughter to knock over and smash a glass of white which was followed by the statement -“Gawd, I am so embarrassing can I get another drink? Who’s paying for this?”. Other highlights of the evening included Bubbles, Jonovision pitching the best show idea ever, myself power barfing in Jarrett’s toilet and Amy running around with a basketball net on her head whilst Jarrett and myself threw balls at her. And by running around I mean lying drunkenly on the couch, looking like she normally would be wearing a helmet and a walkie talkie.
The next morning I was awoken by a phlegm filled voice, rasping - “Where are we?” This was followed by a fit of laughter. And hours more of sleeping. Kegal Christmas was in the afternoon on the CSI -South Shore. Great Prezzies all around!
Amy officially met my parents and they are head over heels in love with her attempts to ingest and re-output her version of local culture! There is a constant laughter around the house every time that Amy moves and leads with the phrase “I am crackin on to the bathroom or bedroom or fridge to get a food baby of sweets”.
Back to the A-1!
this is really long. the next day we went on a boat to take pictures and ended up going lobstering! it was so wild - i held a live lobster and saw the most disgusting fish ever - a scalpin. barf. then we cracked on to the cottage to cook up our days work. made lobster sanwhiches (holy shit that’s good), danced, drank wine, watched kerry be a man and make a fire and carry (sorry, didn’t mean to use your name as a verb), tote in all my stuff - what a gentleman. got rug burn. ya know.
oh yeah, and we visited his grandma. gawd. i’m packing everyone up and bringing them home. the cutest person i’ve ever met in my life. you walk in and there’s 500 bowls of candy and 500 teddy bears on top of couches - a line up of couches. she had to move her stuffed bunny so i could sit down. i love her. she says things like, “i imagine” and laughs at kerry constantly. love.
went to papa cunningham’s plant the next day - smelled like fish. barf. kerry made me pick up all the fish. they were so slimy. i should have thrown them at him.
new years - watched “once”, ate dinner with the clan, and then went into town to go to a bar….cept we weren’t allowed in cause there was a dress code????? AND WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE THERE! can you imagine a dress code on cape sable island??? so we cracked on to a house party - got drunk in under an hour, and set off fireworks. came back home and decided to set off more fireworks…kerry shot them at the house and his dad thought it caught on fire. hahahahahhahahaha. everyone ran inside.
so many more stories to tell. the pictures will have to tell the rest.
love you all and can’t wait until you’re home.
A-1 and K-1
