So, my sister kindly reminded me for the second time that i "really should post a new blog"...so, here it is...a new blog entry. But, what to say is the problem...I really have nothing exciting to write about. I have been working on a new table, mosaic glass...cutting glass is a little harder than i thought it would be, but i'm getting good at it...and I only have a few minor injuries...I figure i'm doing well. I'll try to post some pics when it's done. Anyhow, I have nothing else to write and I've stopped bleeding so i think i'll get back to work on the table...

Newspaper article (yup, i do actually read the paper on very rare occasions when there is something worth reading) in the Toronto Star today was talking about Ecological Footprints...average Canadian has a footprint of 8.8 global hectares. This number is representitive of how much land you need to maintain your lifestyle...it takes into account food production, shelter, mobility (stress on the land from car/transporation) and goods/services...although does not ask how much you shop! Anyhow, interesting, my life in Canada, my Ecological Footprint is 5.3 compared to when i was in Japan my lifestyle there got me a 2.9...interesting...something to think about forsure...anyhow, try it out, let me know how you do...http://www.ecofoot.org/

Right, so, last week finished tour guiding. I was working in Ottawa yet again...it was a nice relaxing last week...I was staying a Suite Hotel...in a 1 bedroom fully furnished apartment with a kitchen that had a dishwasher! and was bigger than my bedroom in japan, and wireless internet. it was a pretty sweet deal...wished i could have stayed longer. This week has been pretty relaxing, mostly taking it easy and finishing up work stuff...end of season party and such. Which leads me to where i am now...officially unemployed...yup...and not really wanting to get another job either, that is the worst of it. Today, i was relaxing out by the pool reading, swimming and having a drink and trying to convince myself that i really do want to work...I dont think it's the best time to convince myself on that. Anyhow, thinking of going to visit my sister in Halifax in a few weeks...so might wait till after then to look into the whole job thing...I just unpacked my suitcase, and put it away for the first time in 6 weeks...i'm kinda sad to put it away...it means i'm not going anywhere now...at least not for a few days....I'm gonna miss living out of my little siutcase.
