frogger in regina

This is my blog from 2001 when I was living in Regina, Saskatchewan. When I landed, I had no job, little money and instant bills to pay. Much hilarity ensues...

Friday, July 20

Been a little absent-minded lately,
forgetting to fill out the blog.
The hot weather is abating;
less humid. But more rainshowers.
Almost every day, at some point
the sky clouds over and it rains.
Then it suddenly disappears!
Maybe this explains the oddness
of this city's inhabitants.

Yikes! I've been here for almost
two months! It seems like forever
but at the same time, I couldn't do
one single thing.
That's really depressing.
Has this city's pervasive joylessness
invaded my soul as well.
I've got to be rich. It's very hard
to do anything when you're dirt poor.
Oh! poor me!
Whatever.

I have a feeling that the last
half of my stay here will be a bit
better. Now if only my creditors
will stop hounding me!

Sat in the downtown Timothy's
today and had a coffee.
It's THE spot for watching
civil servants come in and chain
smoke for their break.

I've seen a lot less Hutterites lately
wonder where they went?
