he gets off on country music 'cause disco left him cold

If you're depressed or in a bad mood or just had a bad day, go here. You won't regret it.


Also? I've found Fraser's favourite radio station.

Go here and click on 'Inuvik'. I mean, really. They broadcast the weather in Inuktitut. And play hokey country songs. And have a spot featuring an Inuit woman storyteller talking about cooking moose and caribou over a fire and how her husband used to go hunting and trapping for days at a time.

A lot of this stuff is really interesting. Especially the storyteller. I LOVE storytelling. I'm kicking myself for yet again not going to the Johnnycake Storytelling Festival. But hey! I can go to this one.

And woah. There was this song contest where they played a song and asked the listeners to call in if they knew the artist and lyrics. It was 'Take It On The Run' by REO Speedwagon. I got it in one, but managed to talk myself out of calling Inuvik to win a cookbook. It would have been way cool, though. Okay, now I'm slapping myself for NOT calling.

You may want to know, also, that the ferries could close up at any moment. Y'know, in case you were on your way. Me, I'd stay home and listen to Inuit stories instead.


Also, npirie, I posted the link to the picture you need in a comment somewhere, but I'm not sure where. If you want me to, I can post it again.

tea_and_snark I haven't forgotten you. Your music will be sent. :)

Gold star to you, for referring to Inuktitut. Not everyone has the wherewithal to work that into an LJ post ;D

Like most canucks, I've never been to the "real" north. I really should go some day. Even though 24 hours of darkness would drive me out of my mind. I could always visit in June, of course, but would that be the "real" north? *ponders*

I have trouble with Rhode Island in October. Snow and cold and I are not friends. If they were, I'd be in living in a house on the Cabot Trail right about now.

I want to see the Northern Lights once before I die. Everyone who has tells me that it's impossible to a. take a picture that does them justice, or b. accurately describe them. I'm not sure if they show up in June, though.

I've been thinking about a cruise to Alaska for years. That's in the summer, so I won't freeze to death.

I saw the northern lights in southern Ontario once. That's not much further north than you - I wonder if they'd be visible that far south. Admittedly, they were not too exciting, or bright. Just a green blob fading in and out.

A trip to Alaska would be fab. I've heard nothing but good stuff about those cruises. And you'd see Vancouver! (and me!)

songdog and I have been talking about a trip to Vancouver. Not sure when, though; right now it's just been: Her: Where should we go? Me: How about Vancouver? Her: Neither of us has ever been there, w00t!

Well, okay, songdog didn't actually say w00t, but you get the picture. :)

When I was living on Block Island, someone said that the Lights were supposedly visible there one summer night. I looked, but didn't see anything. I can only imagine what they'd look like in Churchill or someplace like that.
