Woo woo, another busy week! I honestly haven't a clue where it went. It's Friday already, and it feels like I've done a million things but I'll be damned if i can recall what they were.

So I seem to be settled into my little house, but I don't plan to tarry here for long. If i intend to stay on past Christmas, I have to find a new place to live as ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago, i spent a rainy day on Bowen Island. Click on the blurry photos to see them better!

So here I am, sitting in a mall food court when I should be manning-it-up with kinky gay men at the munch they hold on the other side of the mall. I'm currently drowning my shame in a korean stir fry that involves overcooked udon noodles, cabbage, pork, and fried pickles. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, but i still managed to pay too much ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted last. AnimeNorth went swimmingly. I hitched there in only 6 hours, covering the distance between Ottawa and Toronto. To give this some perspective, when I hitched from Ottawa to Kingston (less than half the distance) last Febuary, it took that same amount of time ( Read more... )

Thanks to Liz for this account of our night in the Hostel! She is definitely the more eloquent of the two of us when it comes to rage. Lesson learned, always ASK how many people you are sharing a room with, and if it's lots, then ask if there are any other dorm rooms!!

Now, I have long been ( Read more... )

My dog-walking business is going real well. I have a pretty Husky-Beagle mix named Dory, and two Newfies named Mudly and Mardi. I'm planning to add a third client for the summer, and all the money I'm earning will go into my savings for the EPIC AMERICAN ADVENTURE.

While walking Dory, we passed through an area that looked like some kind of trash ( Read more... )

The summer is just around the corner, and I'm already planning my next adventure. My original plan was to walk the length of the rideau trail (300k, from ottawa to kingston), but that has been pushed back, to be replaced by my EPIC AMERICAN ADVENTURE. (Cue dramatic sound track, and giant letters that loom over the crowd).

I was originally set for ( Read more... )

Last post was unforgivably short, I know, but i was sitting at the hostel's computer, and soon got called away. So where was I?

Right, we were on the highway, looking for our first ride. Liz was pretty nervous, afraid we wouldn't get picked up, but it was too nice a day for me to worry, and I knew we would soon be on our way. We only waited five ( Read more... )

So we get a late start, leaving my house at about noon to head downtown, with the intention of catching a bus into hull (because Montreal is in Quebec, right?) and then grab a ride on highway 148 all the way to Montreal. It seems easy, but somehow, it refused to work that way. The Hull/Gatineau drivers were very helpful, one even giving us free ( Read more... )
