Day Eighteen

What a whirlwind these days have been.Still house managaer, so I sometimes forget about the world outside of our Katimavik house. On my free time one night this week, myself, Anna from Calgary, Bruce from Belleville, and Kaley from Logan Lake went down town. The sights we saw and the shops we visited were some of the most amazing I have seen. On the top of the plains of Abraham, there is a rail that you stand by (or infront of if you are Irene or Bruce) and the Chateaux Frontinac is completely lit and it is beautiful. The river is to the right, the city is to the left, the moon is full and the city lights are just shimmering. Absolutly breath taking. The thing that made the night complete was the steep hill that jutted out and down.Bruce and I took one look at it and knew: before we left, we were sliding down that hill! We did. And it was unforgettable. The world whirls around so quickly that once you finally stop rolling (after catching air time, and ruining your clothes) you have to try and convince your self that the sky is up and you will not fall into it by laying on the grass. The light pollution blocks out most of the starry detail, but there are the brave and brighter stars still poke through. A different sort of night sky than I am used to, but beautiful nonetheless.

We have a visitor right now in the house. Arnaud's girlfriend is here, and she is fitting in well. It is nice to have a fresh face here after being with the same people for almost three weeks.

Trying to cook for twelve people every night is really difficult. You have to be sure not to accidentally use the ingrediants that will be needed for the next night. Which is exactly what happened last night..

My house is very nerdy. We discuss retro video games, pokemon, and internet memes that have died out long ago. Most popular meme in this house? Peanut butter jelly time!

Funny Story:
When? Last night
Where? At the Star Club
Who? Kurtis
What? We were trying to get to another place in the club, which has mirrors covering all the walls. We reached a small clearing, and our exit was blocked by a mirror. I, not wanting to walk head long into a mirror, stopped. Kurtis, later using the excuse of tiredness, didn't. All I could do was stand and watch as he tries to get around a guy that he thought was getting in his way. He really tried to "beef himself out". Upon his realization, he spunaround with a completely stunned look on his face. Literally the funniest experiance of the night.

A new adventure everyday, so no worries.
