NATEMOVE 2005 UPDATE #1

Hey guys!

I'm excited to bring you the first live satellite update of Nathan's move back to UVic.

The original audio is available for download here. (Right click, save as.)

Nathan: Hi everyone. Um, all... all my, fellow, um, blog readers.

Ah, I'm on the, this, the uh, ferry from Tsawwassen to Schwartz Bay terminal on my way back to the University of Victoria. And I'm driving my station wagon and my car's full of all the stuff that I'm bringing back. Um, which includes my duvet, and (unintelligible) . Uh, my mom packed my car for me, uh, which was nice, um, and then I said goodbye to them and went to the ferry.

Um, on the ferry I had, um, a Whitespot chicken burger with no fries and, ah, instead of that I got a full clam chowder, which is exceptional... on the ferry.

The conditions today are really nice. The water is calm, beautiful.

Um, while I was actually on the ferry though, eating my burger, I was sitting next to a group of-- I think they were about (loud noise in background) fifteen to like, twelve years old, uh, asian kids, about six or seven of them. And they were laughing hysterically, and it was at first kind of bugging me, but, after awhile I was kind of amazed, or intrigued as well, by the endurance of their laughter. This went on for about an hour that I...I...I sat there.

I was done my meal now, all I did was sit at the table, and watch them laugh. And the laugh was going strong, like they just had heard the funniest show... went for like an hour straight. And, I was just fascinated by it, and stood there and... and watched them laughing the whole time. And just thought... trying to figure out what it could be that they were laughing at because it looked like they were having such a good time. And... I never figured it out.

Um, one kid had cards, and he was shuffling them. And uh, that probably didn't have anything to do with the laughing... (trails off)

So I start school tomorrow and I have a pretty big courseload. Um, I'll try and do more updates. I won't have Internet access for a week, so I'll be talking to Jeff via telephone and updating him on what's going on. Um, I haven't been able to check any of his posts so I hope he's following the blog spirit and really doing everything well. (BLOGMASTER'S NOTE: I'm giving it my best shot Nate!)

Okay, uh, goodbye everyone, and take care, and, uh, goodluck with the upcoming week. Uh, Nathan Joseph signing off. Goodbye.

END RECORDING

Great to here from you, Nathan! We miss you!

Keep us posted, and stay safe.

cheers

Jeff
