I made a list or <a title=\"Google Reader Bunk-2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/reader\/bundle\/user%2F04312636589402167574%2Fbundle%2FBunk-2\">two<\/a> but need more information, my facial recognition is never good. Everyone seems very friendly<\/p>\n<p>There seem to be this really weird wide-game going on. I remember when I was wee at camp we played lots of games where we ran about in the wild capturing folk and generally carrying on. This game is much stranger I&#8217;ve only played once and was &#8216;eaten&#8217; straight away. In the game I have to carry a big block of wood around, it was sort of like a nightmare where your feet are stuck to the ground and you cannot move. I took two minutes, two minutes, to look at my iPhone to see if I could find any rules and I was &#8216;eaten&#8217;. They said I could have my life back and play again but I decided to try and get some sleep. (update, I tried again today, met a couple of folk and got killed a few times before minecraft froze, perhaps I should not have been exporting Quicktime, exporting MPEG streamclip and importing into iMovie al lat the same time).<\/p>\n<p>I have been managing to join in the <a title=\"The Daily Create - Daily assignments to fuel your creativity\" href=\"http:\/\/tdc.ds106.us\/\">daily chores<\/a>, if you remember I always liked that bit of camping. I even like washing dishes in the stream, grit is better than squeeze for getting pots shining (not so good for Teflon).<\/p>\n<p>Before I came some friends suggested there was a sinister aspect to the camp that it smelt a little like a cult, I m happy to report that you have no need to worry about brainwashing, although some of the <a title=\"Record a video of yourself saying \u201cI love DS106\u2033 ten times.\" href=\"http:\/\/tdc.ds106.us\/tdc144-2\/\">camp songs are a bit strange<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>cheers<\/p>\n<p>John<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I do realise that the gif could be really annoying.
