| This week, June 1 through June 5, will be a round table discussion involving the mystery genre. Pretend we are meeting around a conference table and talking away. The prompt for June 1, 2015: If you were writing a murder mystery what would you chose as a method of death? Well I adore the idea of some exotic food, or looking to a more scifi way- through a programmable internal ear implant and the most annoyingly irritating tune repeats and repeats, the vibraionis eventually tuned so as to rupture the internal organs! it has been remotely controlled by the perpetrator making it near impossible for them to be traced. |
| Prompt: As we plan out various excursions, what is a place you do not want to visit? I would love to use the shape shift gear on the ship and prepare for a trip to the stars and seek out an unknown galaxy and set down upon a strange planet and experience what's there. |
| Day 4 - What’s for dinner tonight? Expense or difficulty in preparation is no problem. Well I think I am going to take up the invitation to dinner. I am extremely hungery and very curious to see inside other peoples cabins. Fresh Lobster is my favourite food. I have been known to travel 100 miles to go to an excellent fresh sea food restaurant, on the sea front, the evening sun setting politely on the horizon, good company and a crisp drink dangling on the palate. I shall adorn my most flowing elegant antique dresses climb on to my high shoes grab a ditty bag and enjoy the company. |
| On this trip you don’t have to do any cooking, cleaning or other chores. Tell us how you envision these tasks being performed. I think the chores are probably done by Charlie wearing a French maids outfit, n'est pas? Well he is so fond of French maid outfits I thought it best to put him in one!! Ha ha! Perhaps we could draw up a rota of doing each others cabins, just to keep it real, in our imaginarium. |
| Day 2 When you enter your assigned room with attached bathroom on the ship, it’s bare. You may decorate and furnish your room any way you like – just say it or wish it. The only limitation is you only have one port window. Tell us what the room looks like after you finish with it. Welcome to my room . As you can see I have enlarged the porthole for a better view, which brings in extra glistening sunlight and part of the window delves down in to the sea. Ah look there's a manta ray. "Hi Man!" I call him that for short. This is my massage/sleep wall that envelopes and gently relaxes. This gold button here is to enact atmospheric mode. Thinking setting for example will make gravity fall away and one can hover at any height and meditate freely. Of course I have more traditional features - please dont touch that bell- my blue memory foam lined hammock, a delight for a good read and rock. Of course I have a herbarium growing, the shelves are high yet adjustable and easy to move. Oh watch out for that giant Aloe, it may react if you stand on it again. I notice you admiring the elegant Rose wood low tea table. If you would like to take the purple silk cushion and sit I will start the tea ceremony. Ah, here comes Alfie the seagull, what news Alfie. No, don't touch the bell! As the jingle sounded the canvas melted and the picture of the room formed a small puddle. |
| MAGICAL MYSTERY VOYAGE Day 1 - If you could travel anywhere, where would you go. What would you expect to see, eat, smell, hear, and feel. I would go to one of Jupiters moons. Europa,so mysterious to outsiders but to those of us who visit we enjoy it's passive sea shores, that vibrate with a hum of seven tones that order your molecules in a different way. You turn and twist to light that skims off the underneath water moons, colours of cerices deep purple, and dark gold, cause three dimensional merging with peaks of expansion of understanding. I take a cautious breath of speckled blue and hear my voice sing B as I turn my back. The cool water clothing me as I fall trusting I will be caught. I begin and end in it's vastness. I wave to myself against the shore. Words no longer necessary, thought becomes music and light. Swirls of comfort appease the stressed earth mind. A true away day. |
| This is it campers...time to pack it up and break camp. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves! Tell us what you liked about camp, what you got out of it, and what you'd like to see changed by next summer. Thank you all for joining us this August! Without you there'd be no camp; this couldn't have happened without your support. I'd also like to thank my fellow co-counselor, Lyn Pink Ribbon for Leah , for all her help and backing...she's been an absolute treat to work with. 'Til next summer, you guys... I have had an excellent time. It was a lot more eventful than I was expecting! I really felt part of a group with a friendly, supportive and quirky feel. We were all different and brought different skills to the woods with us. I enjoyed the weird sharkhorse- twistidly scary- and all the other oddities that people added to our trip. I enjoyed all the prompts, I particularly liked the mixture of more structure prompts like the ad with the more amorphus ones like, the hole in the tree, lights in the woods and the story around the campfire. I liked the setting that was given to us, it became very real. I could visualise everthing that was going on. A whole heap of weird visualisations I have to say- that darn coffee! I liked the tension built up by something invading the camp and all the varying solutions proffered to solve any problems we came across. I've really enjoyed, and found it interesting to read other peoples blogs. I have so enjoyed everyones company and will miss our camp. Sniff! Farewell dear friends, goodbye woods, adieu weird sharkhorse thing (stop eating my rucksack) Till next year... Finn    |
| Our last big campfire together for this year This is your chance to spin a really wild tale before we part ways, can you top what has happened here this past 3 weeks together? We are looking forward to what you got for us. By the way Nell, Merle, Joe from the pub and our neighbors are joining us for our farewell roast. Who's up to the limbo again? Norb and Lyn Gather ye round, campers, sharhorses , alien cousins et all. Stare in to the fire, watch its flames, let the shapes consume your mind and i will tell you a story that will shrivel your spine and torment your bones! Well, it won't be that bad...well maybe... Last night I saw a shadow moving off in to the woods. I followed stealthily it lead me through deep convoluted thicket. My skin shredded against the thorn like a good Cheddar. (can you buy this cheese over there?) Hence all the scratches, if anyone can find the first aid kit I'd be grateful. Oh no wait I'll just use my dermal regenerator. The shadow stopped and beckoned me to the edge of the lake and in to a small boat. It drew itself out on to the lake and started to turn. It whirled round and round and round. Down I went down in to the depths of the lake. I awoke in a cave with a light beaming from the distance. I stumbled toward the source. I could see through my blurred vision two figures a man and a woman. It was Nell and Merle! And they were.. Oh it was horrible, they were... I can't even say it... but we must get out of here now... They will be coming, coming soon for us - to make us in to pies for the tourists! And we've just helped them campaign for more meat, I mean, guests to arrive.. What's that, in the trees, they're coming.... RUN - we're the roast! |
