Yellowknife

59 degrees fahrenheit

Okay, so let’s recap the current situation:

*my car has a flat tire, will cost $325 to fix, will be ready Tuesday, they have to fly the tire up from Edmonton;

*my internet at home doesn’t work;

*I’ve had the flu for the past 10 days;

*I’m being kicked out of my apartment next week;

*went to karaoke on Friday, it sucked.  They didn’t have any Kenny Rogers, tried Beatles instead, it bombed.

The only silver lining is that in fact I’ve been so sick I lost 8 pounds, which means I’m almost ready to drop a pants-size.  I do strike myself as thin-and-gorgeous when I look at myself in the mirror now.

Oh, and it sounds like I was accepted to the Athabaskan conference which is also positive.  I was actually afraid I would be shut out for political reasons (I’m totally serious) but it appears I was just over-paranoid in this case.  My abstract consisted of cartoons of smiley, angry, and sad faces with Chipewyan syllabics underneath (he is happy, he is sad, he is angry), so perhaps it was not as subversive as I thought.

I think I’ll drag myself to the Indiana Jones movie tonight; I need some kind of a diversion.
