This evening I was out at St. Volodymyr Park (Ukrainian Park) - the one on the way to Pike Lake. We were sweeping out the pool... something about beavers. All I have to say is that rain is really wet. Especially when lots of it falls. Speaking about gas prices, there's a new kind of car coming out soon that'll be the answer to all our problems. Powered by petroleum? No. Electric or hybrid? Nope.

So, last week we were at the lake - my first time up there this year. Something noticeable now on the other side of the lake is a nice big tower that flashes bright white lights in the day, and red lights at night. Looks so nice when the sun passes behind it as it sets... (sarcasm, in case you didn't get it) We get great cellphone reception now. Some examples of the beautiful view that has

1.179 $/L. That's getting a little high. So yeah, good weekend - Vesna, Vesna, then mother's day / my cousin's birthday, then Cirque du Soleil. Yesterday I went for a ride in the most expensive / fastest car I've ever been in. 6 cylinders in a small two seater sure help you stay in your seat. Last weekend our barbershop quartet was in Winnipeg for the "Bonding at the 'Peg" Land O' Lakes

Ok, so school's done. Yes, I'm still alive - I haven't run off into the wilderness yet... I keep getting these requests from people about joining Facebook. Fine. I'll do it. Don't know much about it, but apparently it's about sharing pictures and stuff. I guess pictures will go in two places then. While i'm on the topic of the internet, check out Last.fm, and Google Mars. Last.fm is a free

I guess there hasn't been much activity here since the day before school began. Some stuff has happened since then. On September 17th, Saskatoon hosted a Terry Fox Run. Elia and I ran together. The day was miserably cold, raining, and windy, but who cares - when you're going to run, you're going to run. In the picture is Elia, me, and the event chairperson (don't remember his name). I also had

One that I actually have a picture of (took it yesterday at school): I know another heavenly body or two, but I don't need a telescope to look at it/them. Haha... wooh, I need some sleep. School starts tomorrow, back to waking up in the morning. Got stung a couple times by the same wasp in the same place at the same time at the lake on Friday. One sting hurts a bit, but two or three really

OK here we go. For pretty much the whole month of July and part of August along with Nissa and Stephen Harasymchuk, under the directorship (dictatorship? haha no... ) of Carissa Klopoushak, I was an opikun (councellor) at the Mohyla Ukrainian Cultural and Language Summer Program. This year there were about 30 students, from around Canada and even the USA. In less then five weeks they learned or

I've added some pictures from 2002-2005, with some from 2001, whatever the digital camera got. Also in the top right corner of every page is a link to an example of what the website is supposed to look like if you have a decent web browser like Mozilla Firefox.

April 26, 1986 - April 26, 2006 It's been twenty years since the Chornobyl reactor exploded, wrecking havoc over Europe. It's been twenty years since the world knew Chornobyl, and they still spell it wrong. So far, I've found these places that spell it like "Chernobyl": National Geographic CNN National Post CBC BBCWikipedia (although they use both, Chernobyl is the focus) At

Maybe I should get another of these things in before the new year (i guess that gives me 2 days, or 15). English christmas went quite well, that's Lucy's one day of the year where she gets to come into the living room - and only if she's on a blanket/towel. I got a new cordless drill, mmmm Craftsman, mmm 19.2 volts. Nice upgrade from my 9.6 V dinky toy that squeels when I use it. Speaking of

(I would have posted this last night, but I was getting an "Unknown Host Exception" whenever I tried to publish.) Холєра, maybe if I do this blog thing quarterly then I'll actually say I keep up with it. I guess I could just say that I'm on Ukrainian time and be done with it. What's with "Ukrainian time" anyway. Apparently it's a stereotype that we are always later then the rest. My excuse is

Geez, I'm not very good at this whole blog thing. I guess it's been a while since the last post (not the song). Anyhoo, since June 8th, this is my life: Mohyla Summer School (best five weeks of getting paid for having fun ever) Lake (best couple weeks of drinking rye and rum on the raft we built... ) Some Lastiwka performances (that site needs a good update pretty soon) ... Man,

Finally saw Episode III. It was by far the best of the newest three releases. Unfortunately, the idiots in the movie theater didn't turn the volume up enough so the dialogue was at times inaudible. That aside, I think that the movie portrays Anakin's turn to the dark side quite well. He did it all for love. It also seemed ironic that he turned to the dark side in order to make sure his dream

Got my hair cut today. Woo i'm like a couple hundred grams less massive now. Special thanks to Jessica who cut over four inches of hair, without cutting herself. Tomorrow is Easter (Julian calendar - yes we celebrate on that one)... mmmm, meat!!! Христос Воскрес! (after church tomorrow)

Well, tomorrow evening we are having a meeting at the church to try and save it from converting to the dark side (Gregorian / english - basically Roman Catholic). Unfortunately, some people in our church can't seem to understand that being Ukrainian Catholic is not the same as being Roman Catholic. Different language, different calendar, different customs, different services, different songs.

Some more changes to the site, some more links added. Also, you will notice that the header image changes every so often. Right now, I only have four pictures that I took while in Ukraine (2003), and they cycle through randomly. Hopefully soon I will be able to add to that and maybe something else. Gav introduced me to a new (to me) webcomic - Questionable Content. It's pretty decent, but if you

Well the curling flash animation is gone. Maybe I can incorporate that into something else, but for now it doesn't fit with the current theme of my site. The burning spider probably is kind of freaky, but I wanted the fire - I just learned how to draw that, pretty neat eh?

Woot, I think I'm finally getting somewhere. The Blog is working now. Don't expect me to update it everyday like those other crazy people - I have a life. Anyhoo, time to go спати, start studying for P229 tomorrow. Only 2 more finals! :) Добраніч!
