My course review has been published! Yeah!! This is the citation (kind of nerdy that I did this, but I needed it for my resume) :)

Urban, Katie. On-line workshop review. Aboriginal care of collections: Redefining the meaning of care. ICOM-CC: Ethnographic Conservation Newsletter 30, (January 2009), pp. 13-15.

ICOM - CC = International Council  of Museums - Conservation Committee

And I found out today that its going to be reprinted in the March issue of the Canadian Conservation Bulletin.

So despite generally Fort Frances and Winter blahs, today was a good day :)

My jaw hurts from the wisdom teeth extraction and my right cheek is all puffy.

How does everyone else stay positive? Everyone keeps telling me to stay positive. And I google 'how to stay positive' and nothing seems applicable. Spend time with friends and family, well I can't. Keep a journal of 5 positive things each day. How am i supposed to find  5 things every day. It'll just be a lot of my cat was really cute today. My most positive thing last week. I got a very pretty rejection letter from Buckingham Palace oh and Pickle was really cute.

I don't know what to do. I want to quit. But would that be a huge mistake? Why is quitting a job because it isnt right for you such a negative thing. Why do you have to justify it.

right now I am looking forward to the day I leave this place or i get to go home for the summer. When Melissa and I are going to see  MacBeth (with Colme Feore AND Geraint Wynne Davies) and Julius Caesar (with Geraint Wynne Davies) and A funny thing happened on the way to the forum at the Stratford Festival. That if they were doing the Lysistrata starring Dr. Schaus they couldn't get any better! lol

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Writer's Block: Doctor Who?

26-year-old actor Matt Smith was anointed as the eleventh Doctor Who this week. If you were in charge of casting, who would you cast as your ideal Doctor and why?

A friend of mine mentioned Ewan Mcgregor as a possibility for the next Doctor. I think he would be an excellent Doctor, although maybe he would be more of a post watershed Doctor, lol, and a bit of a match for Capt. Jack.

That's right Fort Frances is -30 celsius today, with a windchill warning. Lovely.

Alert, Nunavut is -29 celsius no listed windchill.  Above is a map of Canada with Alert and FF. 

I have nothing else to say.

Its -24'Celsius with a -36' windchill

I think I got mild frostbite from being outside about 2 mins. So curiously I check the weathernetwork, and it is warner in yellowknife, slightly warmer than Whitehorse and Iqualuit is -29, but no recoded windchill.

Alert Nunavut is -27' with a windchill -38 windchill, so relatively the same temp, but they have something called 'Ice Crystals' at the moment, which I imagine to be little icicles raining out of the sky, which seems dangerous. So, Alert has Fort Frances beat for crappyness, of course they are the most northern settlement in Canada and is primarily inhabited by poor mounties who drew the short straws at assignments, so yuo expect them to win in the crappy cold weather contest.

I hate my life, please please please, someone give me a new job. Someplace warmer please.

I am falling over the edge........,

 I have little panic attacks thinking about things. Like i imagine coming back up here after christmas and I think about how I am going to feel that day and I panic because I dont want to feel that.  

I keep trying to be positive and thinking of my mantra "It's only for now and soon  can leave and go somewhere better" but its so hard.  Because I have very little positives to focus on. I mean I know that nothing is horribly awful, lots of people have far worse lives than I do, but it doesn't help.

I just wish my mum would stop saying 'Well you can't quit"  I can think of lots of reasons why I can quit!

I miss Pub Quizzes!

Why has no other country adopted the idea of  the pub quiz? Not that there would be one in Fort Frances, but i really miss them even if I was rubbish at UK music trivia (how could i not know a single song!) 

Ugh, so bored.

Happy May Day

Well its May, I can't believe it! There's still snow outside. There's a mountain in the safeway parking lot actually. 

I have been at work by myself since Monday and I am bored out of my mind! This place is so quiet, no one comes in and to top it all off I also have to work tomorrow night and saturday at the bloody homeshow!

I hate my life right now.

I have no excitment, nothing to interest me whatsoever, the only thing I have to look forward to going to visit Diana in Madison, Wisconsin in a couple weeks! It will be the first fun I have had all year! Thats so bloody sad. 

Well back to the boredom, I have some pictures of the old paper mill to look up in the archives :I whoohoo

I Would Love To Travel With The Doctor!

On the

of Doctor who season 4

So essentially I am bored. I am currently at work, alone. I've done some work, sent some emails, answered the phone a few times. Its thrilling. Ugh.....

Monday we did an archaeology day, which went pretty well, but I only had 10 kids, I had seen all 10 of them before. Same kids over and over again, which is good, they enjoy it, but how do I more parents to bring their kids? This town isn't interested in culture, lol. At least it doesn't seem to be. There are some here who are, but not for the most part. 

Anyway Arch day. We made little archaeology sites with crop marks. It was fun. The idea is that when a wall is buried under a field, for example, the crop above it will grow shorter than on either side of it. So, we built little walls of plaster bits and covered it in soil and grass seed. and they have taken them home and hopefully they'll grow. We  will find out!

I am going to Wisconsin for May 2-4 to visit Diana. I am very excited! It will be nice to see a friend and because both our birthdays will have just passed, we will be having a nice post birthday bash, well maybe not bash, there's only two of us, lol! 

I may go to Thunder bay this weekend to visit my friend Kristi from highschool, whom I havnt seen since Graduation! It should be fun, and Ill do some shopping with money I dont have, its really sad that I am excited to go to the Old Navy, lol, sigh... and apparantly TBay has a LUSH so I am all over the magnaminty face mask, and they better have it!!  

Anyway, I'm rambling. I better get back to work.

Oh yeah and its snowing - again.....

It is April 6 and there is a winter storm going on outside my window......I hate snow. I hate it. I loath it. Any fun that I can have in snow is far greatly out weighed by its ability to annoy me.

Where are the flowers and birds and the sun?
