time for an update. this time with no pictures. i'm sorry, i can't seem to find the cable to connect my camera to the computer.
anyways....
the past week has been a nice change from the snowfall i posted about last time. it's been nothing but sun up here, and i have just been soaking it up. in the evenings i've been sitting on the back steps of my dorm, playing guitar while looking out on the lake. it's been nice to be able to do that. i hadn't been playing guitar while it was cold, fearing that some other people in the dorm would not appreciate my playing. now i'm able to play outside after work or on sundays without having to wonder what other people think about it.
THE MOSQUITOES ARE SO MUCH LARGER OUT HERE! you'd never believe it, but these things are easily 3-4x the size of the ones that buzz around back in winnipeg. they don't bite any harder or anything like that, but man, i just can't get over the size of these things.
also, chris rogocki is working up here. random? haha, he had a face as perplexed as mine when i walked up to help my co-worked unload his truck (that transported chris down to the camp) and i handed him his suitcase from the box of the truck. he just finished paramedic/fire college, and is up here working for our on-site paramedic team. haha, it's been nice talking with the guy. it sounds like he's been doing well, and is applying for the winnipeg fire department this month.
and i've learned ultimate fighting is definitely not worth all the hype that surrounds it. a whole bunch of guys here paid for this paperview ufc title match the other week. definitely not worth the money in my opinion. i watched the title match, which consisted of 2 minutes of these two guys dancing around in an octagon until one of the guys clocked the other fighter right in the temple, knocking him flat cold right then and there. probably the most pointless two minutes of my life were spent watching that.
missing you guys right now. i can't believe it's been over a month that i've been up here. over 25% done.
p.s. the new joel plaskett album is amazing! i can't get enough of it right now. if any of you see graham hnatiuk in the next little while, tell him that i said that. it'd probably cause him to crack a smile.
