Friday after we left to Goose Bay for our 48 hours off. I got off work at about 1130 and landed in the goose by about 1 o clock. Andrew Val and I went to Jungle Jims restaurant. ACtually a really entertaining place, they even had a veggie section.
We started off by wandering around look for beer. Apparently labrador sells beer in convenient stores just like quebec.
We grad 12 molson dry and 12 canadian and headed back home.
Phil arrived at about 830 after his walk for 8 hours, just after we complained that our TV shut off right when the hockey game was about to start. they switched us to a better room
A few people from the goose bay group was staying here as well. Zak, emily, elodie and liz.
Fun group of kids, we spent the weekend watching strange reality shows and NHL playoffs.
Saturday we grabbed a 6 of Black Horse beer. because we were in newfoundland we had to try their beer.
It was alright. Have you heard of Canadian Light? and/or Kieths light? I thought it was strange.
Great weekend, 44 days.

50 days
Id hate to be the pessimistic one, but ONLY 50 DAYS until i'm back home in Brandon...or Clear Lake. I cant tell if time goes by slow or fast. I guess it seems to be going by fairly fast. Aside from the snow we are having right now! Just as it was all melting, we get another snowfall. Very disipointing. 2 degrees outside and it appears to be a blizzard.
Im back to work today after a pretty relaxed week as house manager. Made some calzones, african stew, chick pea curry and a few other things. As i type this, the snow gets worse.
Last night a very intelligent man named Ben Penashue came to our house and told us many stories about the Innu culture. He told us about how the world was formed. 7 stars with each type of people. they were restricted to their own regions etc. he also shared how he has turned to the cultural aspects of his life to guide him. very inspiring story.
Im detoxing this week, starting today. I will not eat for as long as i can. I will drink only a mixture of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. Along with alot of water.
This is intended to clean out my system and rid of all of the toxins in me.
Its more for the challenge but Im excited to see how it will all turn out.
Friendly reminder to myself. I have not eaten Beef, pork, chicken except once since April 1....Twice. Ive had caribou and rabbit several times. They come from reliable sources. I have not eaten any meat since Wednesday April 29.

an issue of trust
Were down to seven participants! Very crazy how fast that can happen!
Im so frustrated right now! There is one girl in our group who is a complete snitch and lies about the fact even though we know. Its her fault that Jon went home on Tuesday!
We tried to confront her last night, but she got angry and left the house! She went to our guardian angels house. They came back over and talked to the girls and decided she was going to stay at the guardian angles house for a couple nights.
According to Katimavik rules, you are suppose to be in your own bed each night. our PL is gone to a meeting in Goose Bay and when she gets home there will be more shit for her to deal with.
While the girls were getting a talking to, the boys took a trip over to other Katimavik house in our town and had a little visit. We invited them to come out with us at midnight go watch the stars. There was suppose to be a meteor shower. We went out to the beach and saw a few shooting stars, but nothing spectacular. But it was a fun evening spite of the little incident after supper.
We visited a sweatlodge on Sunday evening and Ive been sick ever since. The experience was really neat, Im not sure if i could go again though. who knows.

easter
This was our easter activity! I chose to paint an easter egg as the world! Im pretty proud of it, as I am not very artistic.
laaaame
Chillin at work, I think im the only one here. I havent seen one person in about an hour. Everybody goes home at like noon on paydays, or just doesnt show up at all. But im having fun on the computer here doin what i need to do. Even if the internet connection is horrible.
Im eating a veggie meatloaf with rice made by valorie. Very tasty, ground round, spinach, carrot, zucchini and egg i believe. I enjoy it along with my cup of coffee.
Big news on twitter! wooo
Oprah joined, and Ashton Kutcher beat CNN to have 1000000 followers. historical day!(sarcasm)
roughly 8 or 9 weeks until i hop on the plane and head home. i dream about this day. I feel like im bored alot of the time. No alcohol, no stores to visit, no bars. Im always sitting around doing fuck all. Im looking for a project. well see what happens.
