Another November, another novel!I've decided to jump back onto the novel-writing wagon and have signed up for National Novel Writing Month again. However this year I have signed up to be the Municipal Liaison for Saskatoon and area, which means that I am organizing things like coffee get-togethers, write-ins at the public library, and parties to kick-off and celebrate the completion of NaNoWriMo

Next weekend I will be hosting a scavenger hunt here in Outlook for fellow geocaching enthusiasts. It will involve teams of 2-5 participants with no more than 1 vehicle, at least one GPS receiver, and at least one digital camera. Teams will receive a list of items they need to find, mark coordinates on their GPS receiver, and take a picture of someone from their team near the location. I'm

Last week I had my first hormone shot. I jump when I get shots unless I am able to watch it pierce the skin, so I was happy to receive it in the arm! I haven't noticed any crazy menopause-like symptoms, but I have noticed that my fibroid feels less hard and isn't tender anymore. In fact, a stretch that I have found uncomfortable to do for the last couple of years causes me no discomfort at all

Okay, well, they're not really that fun, but I couldn't think of a good title for this entry...So anyway, I've known for about 8 years that I had a fibroid. I had volunteered to be in a research study looking at follicular development in the ovaries at the time. On the first visit they did an ultrasound of my uterus and found a 3 cm fibroid. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumours that evolved from

You gotta love how the people on the web will find something funny then twist it to make it even more funny or twisted or whatever - way after it originally happened. Tonight I ran across a series of 'Techno Viking" videos. Here is the original version.I did a bit of poking around on the internet and this footage is apparently from the Berlin "Fuckparade" in 2000 (check wikipedia and

Less than 5 hours until NaNoWriMo 2007 starts! Yay! I'm excited to try out the idea I was inspired to start on in 2002... an Icelandic saga based on the life of Aud the Deepminded, a woman who settled in Iceland around 900 C.E. I've studied a variety of sources, many of which conflict with each other, and pieced together a timeline for my storyline. This time I will not be starting with the

I felt really odd about that, but just ignored the poke.Stranger 2: A producer from the CBC Radio show Go! e-mailed me about being part of a geocaching-oriented competition when they record a show here in October!!

In early May Jay and I made a trip out to Star City, a little town between Melfort and Tisdale, to purchase an '86 Honda Civic sedan. A few months previously we had purchased an '84 Civic hatchback to fix up. The two previous owners were all friends of ours, so we knew this car as Agatha. However, there would have been a lot of repairs to the interior required to make Agatha comfortable to drive,

It's pretty much all over now. It's been about nine years since I decided I wanted to become a physical therapist. Now I'm pretty much there! On June 5th I received my degree. We celebrated our grad on the 9th, and today we completed the clinical component of the Physiotherapy Competency Exam. This exam is the culmination of all my learning and clinical experience. And it cost $1100 just to

I was fortunate enough to have a 4-day weekend for Easter, so I took advantage of the situation for an outing to Edmonton.On Friday I drove there with Debbie's friend Brian. He provided interesting conversation and I drove. We stopped in Grande Prairie for an hour: Starbucks, unsuccessful hunt for a geocache, then grabbed some grub for the road. Next stop was in Whitecourt for gas. That was

I have not had much time for geocaching lately. And even when I have gone out I've had poor luck in finding caches. I need to give myself more time, I guess.

It makes me want to play around doing something like that for our class video at school this year!Here's an ABC news story where they talk about the video and interview the singer.And the song is soooo good too!

Fringe was quite lovely to perform at this year. The weather cooperated on most days. We had lots of people watching us for most shows. We made a goodly amount of cash! And I got lots of compliments on my dancing and costuming. Here's a pic of me doing a solo improvisation while balancing something on my head:If you would like to see a million pictures of my dance group performing at the Fringe,

I don't know at what times exactly we'll be performing, but Friday we'll be starting shortly after 6 pm and doing another show at 7:30 or 8:00 or so. I have no idea what will happen on Saturday. I hate not working with a plan! Feel free to come say hi! Happy fringing!

Our first weekend of Fringe performances is over. On Friday we had two performances, and neither of them went quite as planned. When I got to where I was getting ready I discovered we were going to be performing 15 minutes earlier than we had been told the couple days before. Then there was a bit of miscommunication, so instead of being in the intersection we ended up in front of the Broadway

Well, we're back! No damage except for a little bit of sunburn. We drove a lot, hiked/geocached a bit, and did some siteseeing.Here are some lovely photos from our trip:This is Jay and I with a little friend we found in a cache at Craik.

1. FIRST NAME? Lorianne (read carefully. It does not say Lorraine.)2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Sort of. I was named after my great-grandmother Laura. We share initials, too (until she got married).3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Hmmm, probably in May... in a really big combine.4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Handwriting is pretty foreign to me. The only handwriting I do is signing stuff.5.

Well, I finally did it! I went and found my first cache. I picked up Tanya and we headed out to a park in Eastview where the cache was located. It wasn't too difficult to find, but I wished I had worn pants. Long grass and bugs make my legs feel super itchy. The cache is hidden in the big ol' dead tree behind me.

On May 26, 2006 Saskatoon will have been a city for 100 years. That weekend there will be events to help celebrate the occasion. Last year I went to Doors Open Saskatoon, and am looking forward to checking it out again. This year I really want to get the tour of the Bessborough Hotel. I overheard part of it last year, and it sounded quite interesting. It was led by a man who has made the

Exams are just cruising by. I had a practical exam yesterday in the morning, and now I don't have another exam until the 21st. That exam doesn't cover much material, either. I took yesterday and much of today off from studying. I've watched five movies in that time, and I plan to put on one more and possibly study at the same time. I also played Sudoku for a couple hours. As you might guess

It's nice to be lucky again.Just a few hours left to plan for April Fool's Day, everyone. I've been looking at a website that describes the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time. And Wikipedia has an entry for this year's hoaxes too.

A few months ago on Saturday Night Live they made a rap video called Lazy Sunday, a spoof of rap videos that described what the singers would do on a Sunday in New York when they didn't really have anything better to do. Since then there have been some good responses from the U.S. west coast (Lazy Monday), Midwest (Lazy Muncie), and from England (Lazy Sunday UK: language warning with this one).

I just found out about another site where you try to do lots of writing in a month. This one is called April Fools, and as you might guess it starts in April. What's nice about this one is that writing that you have to do for school can be part of your word count! All the writing without all the guilt! But then, you are doing homework and how much fun is that? Oh well, I signed up anyway. I

I've been trying hard to not feel crappy lately, and I'm not having much success. And so now I would like to make a list of positive things in my life: In January my net worth increased by 7% compared to December. My only debts right now are my student loans. I'm going to be house sitting for three weeks starting a couple days before my birthday. My birthday is in a few weeks! A few

I've learned a lot about strokes this year, so I thought that this news story was particularly cool.

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her: "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state dependent on some machine. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."His wife got up and unplugged the TV.

Well, according to the Elections Act national news agencies in Canada aren't supposed to report any results until all the polls have closed across the country. I thought I'd check out a foreign blog for election info, and found one of a Canadian living in England: The Surly Beaver. In the comments there somebody mentioned that Radio Canada International was streaming election coverage from the

Tonight I went cross-country skiing with a couple of the other girls in my class. We met at Kinsmen Park at 8 pm and skied in the dark for an hour or so. It was good! I don't feel too bad now, but we'll have to see how I feel tomorrow. I've had skis for 12 years or so, and haven't used them in the last 9 or 10 years. It felt good to get them out again. I look forward to going out again!

Those of you who know me know that I'm a bit of a local history buff. I spent much of the evening tonight wandering around the internet looking at historical pictures of Saskatoon, and reading about the mayors we've had! My original intention was to find this picture of a man who lost a leg in World War One. What's so special about him is that he taught himself how to figure skate with only

In Canada we are in the middle of a run-up to a federal election. Today I found some info on CBC's website regarding different ridings. I thought it might be a useful thing to share with the world, so here it is! CBC - Canada Votes main page.
