I know. I've been MIA. Only because I have had a lot on the go. I suppose I will make an effort to continue to amuse the two people I know out there who actually read what I write, given that it's been an entire year since I last wrote.
It snowed this morning, a sticky wet snow that actually covered the ground, and then rained after. I know it's Iqaluit, but really, it's June 8th! I'm ready for the ice to break up and it's snowing! Maybe the weather is making up for the fact that it didn't even really snow until January up here this year?
There have actually been a decent amount of interesting things going on in town lately. Raffi came up for a concert a few weeks back (and even dropped in on one of the local choirs!) - yes - that Raffi that you remember from when you were 6. I was also invited last minute to a lobster dinner last weekend hosted by the franophone centre. It was 60 bucks, but they insisted that I accept my allotment of THREE lobsters, which up here you can't even get at the store, so in the end I figured 20 bucks each isn't all that bad. However, that's WAY too much lobster for me! I managed my way through two claws and couldn't seem to get past the feet and tail and into the rest of it, so 2.5 lobsters came home with me. Never thought I'd end up at a lobster dinner up here anyway!
In other news, I've decided that it might be a good idea to wear earplugs when walking outside on windy days. I seriously have ringing ears as if I had just left the bar some days! Now that's windy! Having lived in the "windy city of Canada", and I have to say I think Iqaluit wins the title from now on.
