Thursday, August 26, 2004 when I first went down to the pass, the frank slide amazed me. actually much of what makes the pass the pass amazed me - I was just shocked by how people could live their whole lives in the shadow of so many disasters: the Frank Slide, the Hillcrest Mine Disaster and the huge fires in Hillcrest last year, just to name a few. it's not that there's not disasters like this all over the place, all the time, it's just that in the pass they're so apparent. Yesterday I drove through the slide without even batting an eye. I didn't look at it, nor up at Turtle Mountain, like I usually do. I guess driving through it every day makes you forget - or at least get used to it. In other news I have evacuated the (leaky) trailer for the apartment formerly known as my apartment - now free of 15 year olds. I recently finished reading Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5 for my book club (which will soon become my curling team - damn am I cool). will not discuss as will take away from book club discussion. oh yes. A bunch of quebecois joined my family last weekend. nothing like a wedding of quebecois and albertans to have a good liquor induced time - and give ralph klein and lucien bouchard both heart attacks, I'm sure. posted by kim | 12:46 a.m.| (0) comments Sunday, August 15, 2004 you should go check out Detective Kalita right now - I'm rocking out as we speak. I am still exiled in the crowsnest - although have recently relocated to a camper trailer parked behind my place of employment to keep my sanity. yay me. I really enjoy telling people about my trailer. nothing to complain about, I no longer have tv and really don't read the paper. I've been listening to alot of am770 just to keep my arguing skills in check. damn does that rutherford anger me. spend my time listening to music and reading and looking for work. unless I'm at work. then I'm likely acting unimpressed. posted by kim | 7:21 p.m.| (0) comments |
