WTF Blogspot, WTF...

Hi friends and family! All is well, minus the fact that this blog site is garbage. Tried changing my profile for ten minutes, always error messages, so f**k it.

We're currently discussing house cleaning issues and assigning the roles of house managers for the week. Each week, two people skip work for 5 days to maintain the house and cook for the the Katimacrew. Today is the first assignment of that role, and I'm hoping I can swing the vote so I can get some writing done and to upload pictures, etc, but I also wouldn't mind being house manager when my mommy comes to visit :)

I've been asked to design a house emblem. The current idea is a pirate riding an eagle fighting a dragon accompanied by ninjas... and the group number, 21161. I think it'll look great...

We hit up the Quebec Festival the day before last. Never had such good poutine, and I never though Quebec City would be such an amazing place. The culture is amazing, the people are friendly, the beer is unbelievably cheap. We met a really nice girl, Jeanne, who's also doing a volunteer program called Explore. She's heading out to Victoria for a month so she's going to hang out with us when she gets back. Did I mention she's a lounge singer? Crazy.

But back to the present.

A major focus in the Katimavik program is the development of competencies as a group and as an individual (engaging as a citizen, active and healthy lifestyles, etc.). The group works on all components of one competency, but as an individual you focus on several elements of several competencies, but not the degree were about to embark on. With the Healthy Lifestyle competency, a lot of smokers in the house are about to start tweaking out, but it's the choice we all agreed on.

Speaking of lung deficiencies, I went on a run yesterday morning. I think I punctured both of my lungs by the time I got back. Word of advice to out of shape people, start with jogging up and down the street, not running the 1200m full bore around lower Levis.

We're about to go on a cleaning blitz. I'll have pictures up once blogspot stops being total shite.

Lots of Love
Hales.


PS, the beach that we hang out is at the end of Rue(Street) Fagot(Faggot)
