Genevieve Tait and the woopy droopy New York walk-a-thon

Howdy non Campers!

apologies for the lack of blogness, but i have been overwhelmed with work recently. so much so, that yesterday I hit the wall. I also slammed into it and squished my insides across the rough cement.

So currently, I do not feels so good.

Yesterday I spent the day gallivanting* around in New York with my good chum Gen. It was a relief to debrief with her over all of the intensities that go hand in hand with sleeping/eating/working in a closed community such as a summer camp. I now feel like I can handle a further 4 weeks.

We visited the Brooklyn Bridge, The museum of sex along with WHOLE FOODS (which was this gourmet food place along with a juice bar). Apparently, the term 'juice' in America means water + corn syrup + flavor. Disgusting right? BUT Whole Foods had a fresh mixed fruit juice stand. OMG. We also visited FAO Schwartz, which I found just as entertaining as my last 2 visits. Where as I suspected Gen did not. (I know, right?)

We took with us a orange flower we named LEILA 2 in honor of Leila's birthday back home. Here we are on the subway:


So, if you can imagine my face and place three lines under each eye and 2 bottles of extra biohazzard strength pharmacy drugs in each hand, you may have a ballpark idea to how I was feeling yesterday.

Today, I continue to feel the wall. But it is passing. With sleep i shall be fine. MWAHAHAR! oh yes, sleep shall be mine.

Camp life is settling down. Im having such an amazing time, the days are passing me by like seconds. Last week, PUB was minus EMMA, AMANDA, and BOB (head of shop). The clown flu here has taken some major victims...

Here are a few further programs under my belt:




Well, I must back to work go. Until next time.

*as much as my illness would allow me to gallivant

P.S. Mythology is a completely Nundley theme for the Yearbook

Good Morning Blog-ees!

Its a beautiful day in the Neverhood today. The sun is actually out. Thunderstorms, i have gathered are quite common here. and since his place has its own communications hub, metals workshop and power generator all in the space of around 100m squared; we get lightning hitting the camp frequently and all electrical equipment needs to be turned off at the first sign of any storm.

So, yay sunshine.

I haves a new buddy in Pub Amanda. and its not just because she comes from New Jersey, owns a car and can drive me to Starbucks... hehehe...

So Pub is going really well! The Miss V, Amanda and I are going full pelt with Graphic Design MAYHEM! The Camp is passing us by so dam quickly...

The other day Amanda, Cassie and I went off to random bowling night, at which the following happened:
a) Amanda's Car broke down
b) Cassie's Car took us to Bowling (on second attempt)
c) Bowling alley was booked out all night
d) I bought granola and custard ingredients (the granola I gave away)

The following day, I MADE custard. and hand delivered Custard cups to PAM, TIM and MARIAM.... yay custard!!! Everyone really liked my gifts.

yesterday I had my first coffee of the camp. it was delicious.

AND did someone say Fireworks? YES! Buck's Rock did. Last night it was International Themed and there was the most amazing display of fireworks EVER. They opened above us. and covered us all like an umbrella. It was ha-mazing! The only thing eclipsing the fireworks were the Aussies dressed up in their green, golds and flags.

Here are 2 programs I have worked on so far.
