A couple things:

Sunrises in Saskatchewan are like nowhere else I've ever been. This morning I imagined I was on another planet - the sky was deep purple, with shots of blue and a patch of orange. It was magnificent.

Yet I still feel so isolated in this place - there are periods of sometimes intense unhappiness even on mmany good days - and still am constantly clamouring to move. I wish I could find a job, but I need a bachelor degree for pretty much anything I want to apply for that's not journalism related, and let's face it: journalism jobs in the daily field are rather rare these days. I'm thinking of going back to school.

Despite that, I'm feeling amazingly inspired with my poetry and with my art. More so than I have in years. It goes to show that I can't seem to be happy and artistically productive at the same time. A pity.

I'm also really happy to say I'm organizing a musician's open mic for this Sunday. And I'm still learning lots and experiencing new things: I went ice fishing and caught my own dinner for the first time in my life on Saturday. That was actually a lot of fun, and very tasty.
