whew.
Just got back from a pretty fun trip up at my family's cabin on the Shuswap.
Much fun was had and many Transmetropolitan comic books were read (*note* - Spider Jerusalem is strangely my newest "super hero" crush. Saving [a pretty fucked up] world with words!).
The braincells took a bit of a beating but no more than the daily pounding they recieve from the city's toxic fumes and droning construction.
To say the least, I was relaxed. Even the scenic drive home was an extension of that, with only the numbing sensation in my left hip to remind me that we had been driving for 7 plus hours.
This morning over a nice (relaxed) cup of coffee, I read my emails and found not 1, 2 or 3, but 4 progessively panicked emails from Bluewater, redirected from the teachers, wanting an itinary from the crew that details the educational compents for the school trip I'm working in October.
What school trip, you might ask? Haven't heard of it? Heh, that's funny - it would be because I was only asked on the 13th to fill in for a recent cancellation.
Now I'm the one panicking as I prepare to be stoned by the students of the Higher Level Biology International Baccalauate Program because, again, I don't remember/ever-fucking-knew the latin name of the seabird that just dove down.
Chest feels tight...breathing becoming difficult...must find brain cells...Nerocystis nightmares coming back...

A small pod of northern resident Killer Whales
I've maxed out my upoad limit for flickr so I'll post more of these guys next month.
Gallavanting around the northwest coast
If for no other reason than to make the photo of my pina colata boyfriend scroll down a bit, I am going to post a a quick update and a few photos.
My trip up north was great. Yes there was some tough times, but nothing a few tears, a couple of death looks, lots of laughs and wine won't fix. But I learned alot about sailboats, cooking and people.
What made me want to go back next summer though was the sights. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and the vastness of our remaining wilderness is overwhelming, amazing and heartbreaking. I saw grizzly bears, wolves, clear cuts, fish farms, a ridiculous number of eagles, jumping salmon, worrisome water tables, incredible intertidial diversity, and of course... marine mammals, but Ill let the photos speak for them selves on that topic (taken on james' camera which he graciosly lent me, and the skippers 300 focus lense camera - my own camera went kapute on Aug.24- Day 1...)
