Blurbs...


This is a double header, I updated the photo blog today too. Go me! I am learning more and more what crap the real world is. Yesterday I got an email from my mom about how Igot a call and a letter asking me to come in for an interview for a job I didn't apply for with the government. What the jazz? I already have a job. Who's in charge of stuff here?! Bah!

Anyway... it's finally nice weather and as of about an hour ago, I have my first personal ridiculous story. Check it:

I was sewing up my jeans - I actually tore the bottom off a pair of jeans that there was material dragging. As I'm sitting there, I am enjoying the breeze because I finally managed to get my window open. A side note here: There are no screens on windows because well.. umm not too many bugs I guess. Also, I am in the basement, so my window is on ground level. Anyway, so as I'm sitting there listening to the Kinks and sewing up my pants, a cat walks into my room and sits on my window sill! Soo I kind of freak out, naturally. But the cat just looks at me, gets bored and leaves. What the hell?!

This can only mean.... no class or more class or more drunkards?

Distant Thoughts

The thought of not posting something for so long scares me...I am currently somewhat without home and definitely without a constant source of internet, it's almost inhumane (note sarcasm). Everything is moving along slowly right now, but maybe the pace will pick up soon. Then I also remembered that I can email my blog (and hope it posts).

Movies viewed to date: 4
Bogeyman (Denmark) - super cool, 8/10
Zlydni (Ukraine) - good moral, bonus for claymation, 9/10 (translated this one)
The Danish Poet (Denmark) - good humour, animated, 8.5/10 (will translate)
The Peace Tree (Canada/Toronto) - educational and lame, 7/10 (will translate)

Characters for the summer:
Alix, Kit, Kollene and yours truly...among others to be announced.

I am leaving the seminary tonight, I think/hope for yet another temporary room, but I think this time it's in the house. Maybe. I was really distracted by the landlord's uniform (he's in the army) and I'd just been watching that terrible Peace Tree (I keep thinking Peace Frog, thanks Doors!).

Only one story of note so far which is when we went to talk to the admin guy at the seminary - which we still have no idea what it's for - about meals - Alix and I both are at the seminary this week. Meeting Alix is a whole other series of coincidences. Anyway, so I asked about vegetarian food and he kind of laughed at me, a while and a conversation with some girl on the phone later, he took us down to the kitchen to ask the chef about dinner.
"Vegetarian? which one?" (presumably to pelt with rotten tomatoes)
"That one"
"Well uhh... HON HON HON!" (French laughter) Thanks guys.

I suppose there will be more to come, unfortunately it will be photo-free.

Talk to you soon...perhaps.
Ah-nah (that being my French name)

insert filler entry


things are soo busy here and I keep getting locked out of the house, which entirely not my fault. On the up side, check out what my digi did!















That beat out any of the ones the SLR took. Here is a brief update as to why I have been so busy, since I am sure I have been vague. For 'interesting' updates, check out my photoblog (shameless plug).

All right so this all begins way back in January where I was looking for summer jobs. I ended getting accepted to this program in Quebec. On Saturday morning, I am leaving for Rimouski, Quebec, a solid 1000 kilometres from Toronto. Let me explain how far that is, you know where Quebec City is? Well keep going. I'm sure I'll be mega bored, so I will chronicle it...oh yeah I got a laptop for the trip (read that as, expect many typos), my dad lent me one. I just uncovered that it doesn't fit into the bag I got for it. crap. Right now I am trying not to forget anything at all, which is hard. Also, the program people are really slow about things, so I got an email today with suggestions on how to arrive, work starts Monday morning. AHH! ok I should start on that packing thing. So let me know if there is something I will forget or about anything I should know about. You knowme, always wanting to know things.

Moving from one apartment to another was bad...this is becoming worse.

All right, so far what I know about my job is that I get 5 days paid vacation and a weekend in Quebec City with the others. I am also subtitling movies...which hopefully is as wicked as it sounds. I'll keep you posted. ha! get it?
Address and phone number for further contact will arrive soon.

Adieu for now my dear friends.
