Hmmm... An Update You Say?

Sorry I've been so lazy about the blog! Life in Canada just seems so ridiculously normal. Right now I'm just working, and that's been going great so far. Cutting ice with chainsaws and chisels and other "cool" stuff like that. It's quite apt that my favourite time of year is winter and now I'm spending all day in a freezer!

See? I'm already done updating! Geez, my life is boring now. But I had a really horrible nightmare though! In the dream it was my wedding day. I'm already in the dress (which looked really nice on me by the way; I think I dreamt myself a little thinner!), but there's so much left to do. I'm freaking out about having to clean the house for guests but this problem is nothing compared to the fact that my wedding is to be held in a bar (the Bomber, where I worked during university! Yeeeccch!). For whatever reason it's my job to clear out a shitload of drunken students so that I can have my wedding. By this time I've turned into the bride from hell; yelling at everyone and freaking out as my beautiful wedding dress gets dirtier and dirtier. I still have a vivid image of a dirty ring around my hem and screaming at it in frustration. As I woke up I was ordering the catering staff to kick out any leftover students. I can't even remember who the groom was anymore since he was never actually there. What a jerk.

What this dream means (I think):
Both of my sisters are married and newly pregnant (Marcia's due in March, Tracy in April)!! I think my brain's also telling me I should never get married because I'll turn into a psycho!

And Stu, I update my blog just as much as YOU do!

In My Defense

This is for whomever wrote me the comment about selling out to "the man" (ALEXX!!!).

Awwww... why you gotta be so mean???

So today, just over two weeks after getting back to Canada I had my first day working for a company called "Ice Culture" (iceculture.com). I'm going to be working on "suspensions" (suspending objects in ice) and hopefully carving, which would mean spending all day in a freezer using a chainsaw to make sculptures or whatever else would be needed.

This is a life size ice car! Fun! And yeah, it sucks that I'm not going to get to do my cross-Canada trip yet, but I really wanted the job. Alex, if you want to fight me, then I will e-mail my address over here and see you in a couple of days. Hopefully you won't be feeling too jet-lagged when I pummel you!

My New Baby Boy

Not much going on over here in Canada, I've got to admit. Just eating lots of food and driving my new HOT car. Here are some pictures, just for Stu.

I know what you're thinking; where did Cathy get this sweet ride? This fierce machine I recently purchased is a 1999 Hyundai Accent (Korea Phighting!!!). His name is Pabo, because as I drove him home from the dealership the "check engine" light came on.

GASP! Pabo from another, equally magnificent angle. I know Stu's jealous by now. He's thinking "Bloody ripa! Why didn't I buy myself a Hyundai instead of my crappy BMW motorcycle???"

Ohhh, beautiful!! A shot of the rear end for all the fetishists out there (the parents homestead in the background). Do you think Pabo's going to make it all the way across Canada?

In other news, my "round Canada" trip is on hold while I wait to hear back about a job. My mother oh-so-subtly recommended that I find myself gainful employment and stop being such a worthless layabout so I applied on a whim to a company that makes ice sculptures (apparently the number one ice sculpture place in the world, shipping sculptures to foreign countries like Africa, Australia, Thailand etc. Cool!). I got an interview and went in, and now I want the damn job!!

I'm also missing my Korea friends! Why do you all have to be so far away?
