Not blogging right now

Instead of blogging I have spent way to much time watching movies. When I blog it’s usually because I’ve been following world events, but when I follow world events from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan it stresses me out immensely.

• Congolese refugees are streaming into Uganda
• Somali pirates capture an oil tanker
• Protests are going on in Bangkok still
• A black man was elected President of the United States

I feel like I am sitting on the side lines and watching these events pass me by. It makes me ache and want to scream. What am I doing here?
So I don’t blog right now.
I watch movies.
But I am almost finished with the movies now and nearly have another book review finished so I will begin blogging again.

…. I hope.

Where is TIA?

I am both excited and worried.

I’m excited because it looks like the new President of the United States will be Obama. This makes me very happy – for more reasons then I can list.

I’m worried because one of my favourite blogs – TIA (short for This is Africa) has disappeared! Completely and Totally. If anyone knows what happened please let me know.

I’m excited because tomorrow I hit the road for La Ronge, an area three hours north of where I live. Myself and another reporter from the paper will be doing some reporting on issues more north of us – the so called “Northern Notebook”
