So when we spoke last, my dear little readers, I was sitting calmly in the Radisson hotel, procrastinating, I believe. I didn't want to walk to the train station. Well. If your name is Tess, you know what's coming up. If not, sit back and get ready to, ... Read more >

Winnipeg is cold. Like, -30 cold. Well, okay at the moment it's only about -20, but apparently with wind chill the other day it was close to -50. AWESOME!! When I told people I was going to Winnipeg, the general response was 'Why?'. This frightened ... Read more >

Hiya folks. I've been a bit busy (and had pretty much no access to the internet), so I haven't updated in a little while. Well, it's not even a week, but it feels like a while. I've gotta get used to not having the net, I can't imagine having unlimited ... Read more >

I've spent a few days in Toronto, and have nothing to really report on it. I am a boring shit! I have been mostly working, so except for a couple of walks, I haven't really done much. Toronto has a kind of a Melbourne feel to it, I guess you could say ... Read more >

Well here I am, lying in my best friend's bed in Vancouver. The reality of leaving hit me hard upon waking this morning, and it's all I can do not to explode! When I first realized "Hey, I'm on a plane in less than 20 hours," I felt something ... Read more >
