Hey everyone.

Well it's been awhile since i've written. not much going on around here except for the usual - drinking and working... and hanging out Chicken photos are still not up, but i hope to have them up within a week or so - i've been doing a lot of photo taking around dawson too so you can actually see what things look like here. Next weekend is the Dawson City Music Festival which is a pretty big deal.  3 days of musical festivities dcmf.com for those interested. though i am working during the evening for the entire thing, the hotel is close enough so that i will be able to hear the whole thing. and i can go before and after work too. i meant to volunteer for the fest so i could get in free but i just haven't gotten motivated. (surprise surprise).. also, tomorrow the new Harry Potter book comes out - i've reserved one of the 150 copies that the local "bookstore" is getting in - and they're opening up an hour earlier then usual - but reserving the copy makes sure that i don't have to be there that early  Other than that, the weather has been beautiful and the summer is moving by fairly fast! jamie and i have been contemplating when we're leaving. we've also contemplated not leaving. but, if i don't go back to school i can't really afford to stay here what with student loan payments and sketchy work up here. plus rent is a lot in the winter, plus heat. i just don't think it's financially feasible at this point. although i find it interesting that i've been told that with my education i could substitute teach at both the school and college here.  but i can't really survive off a few days of work a week... but we've thought about staying til the end of sept... most likely what will happen is that we'll stay til the end of august and then just come back the way we came. crazy to think that we've been here for half our summer already - where does the time go??? anyway  i should be off. i work in 45 and i wanna enjoy some of the sun

take care everyone and i swear i'll get the photos up!
