shipperxGuh! It's too damn freaking HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I had to return to the site of my sprained ankle. We measured most of the school, but my god is it really September? It was 97 degrees today and sunshiny. I was crawling through cobwebs in a set of buildings which have been abandonned for years (hey, I was okay despite running into the dead squirrel carcass but I was NOT measuring the courtyard where there was a dead snake. Just... no. Not.) But by the time we got to what used to be a library... Jeez! It's on the west side of the building and it was like walking into an oven. The place had to be over 100 degrees. Misery.
Tired and filthy, I came home and hit the showers, so I'm squeaky clean, but -- damn it's been hot. Too hot. Isn't it supposed to be fall by now?
Watched My Name Is Earl and found it to be highly amusing (and the PBS special on megafloods in the ice ages. Okay, I'm a dork). Now I'm waiting for Nip Tuck to come on. (oops! What's the creature on Supernatural? I was sampling My Name is Earl, so I didn't see the first half of the ep. ETA: Supernatual guest star girl -- shut up! The screaming is getting on my already frayed nerves. )
Anyway, exhausted but clean and eagerly awaiting the season premiere of Nip/Tuck.

Date: 2005-09-21 10:04 am (UTC)The legend varies in the details, but the outline of it is basically always stays the same: lost hunters or people that have stayed too long in the state of famine (especially during the wintertime), turning to cannibalism as a last resource, will become windigoes or be inhabited by its spirit and then be drawn towards eating people. When this happens, asides the cannibalism, they become violent and antisocial. Even after returning to civilization and eating normally, the want for human flesh will return to the "windigoes". This craving will endanger the rest of the community. It is believed that the only way to kill the windigo and the malevolent spirit is to burn the body of its host into ashes. It's an Algonquin spirit creature.
