It's Saturday afternoon and I'm sitting here in my pajamas listening to French television and trying to motivate myself to go to the grocery store instead of crawling back into bed. My old French tutor would be thrilled that I'm watching the tv in French, however it isn't by choice. They finally hooked up my cable, but instead of the full package that I signed up for, I'm only getting channels 2-13! I called the cable company and they were so very helpful in telling me that I have to....program the channels???? And how do I do that? I've never had to do that before, and for a $50 hook up charge they can come and do it for me (but I didn't say that). So, I'm off to Ventures in a bit to go and buy a better universal remote as mine is not bringing up the menu on the tv to "program the channels".
Last night I went to the Elks after work for a couple of drinks and then to the Legion for a steak dinner. Not only that, but at the Legion we all ended up buying Nevada tickets with the hopes of splitting the "big money". Who have I become? =) You would never catch me playing Nevada tickets before, but everyone else was doing it, so apparently the newbie had to as well.
I had Cultural Orientation on Wednesday which meant that I spent the day down in The Red Boat Gallery (one of the old Hudson Bay buildings) learning about Inuit traditional knowledge and how Nunavut came to be. It was actually pretty fun and I ended up meeting some new people. Our instructor, Solomon, brought some frozen caribou and char for us to try. He cut it up with an ulu and we were all able to have some. I tried a tiny piece of the caribou only to realize that it's really not for me, but the char was delicious....just like eating sushi.
I'm off to shower and head to the store before the sun goes down.....which will be in about 2.5 hours!

I'm just getting caught up on the blog - great stuff Jenny. Anyway, I'm jealous about the caribou. I had moose about a month ago and enoyed it so I imagine caribou would be excellent.
Keep writing!
Ok do not put down nevada tickets, I love them, however they are getting harder to find. Maybe because they are all being sent up north. Anyways newbie? I'm pretty sure that the newbie does not have to do anything, do not be engaging in peer pressure. Hey, first you think it is innocent having a few drinks, then that leads to gambling and then the next thing you know you are....I'll leave you fill in the blanks.
