So we're about a week into the cross Canada tour. The longest I've ever toured until now was about 3 weeks. Since my time in Halifax was spent playing and going to shows, sleeping on a couch, and dressing and bathing out of my suitcase, I consider this all one tour. I've been on the road for around a month and a half. That's the midpoint. I'm getting burnt out. Going from Norway, to Halifax, to quickly crossing Canada has been tough due to the constantly changing climate and the ever shifting time zones. Just a few days ago, it was t-shirt weather, and now we're in North Battleford, Saskatchewan where it is cold.

We spent a couple nights at a friend of Nancy's in Portage la Prairie. I was born there and it was only my second time being back since my parents left when I was a baby. I met (for the second time) a little girl who was born in the same hospital as me. That might be the first time in my life that I've met someone born in the same place as me. It was a very nice, relaxing break.

Tomorrow, we're going to Edmonton. I've been to West Edmonton Mall a couple times before. I like the penguins.

I've been really fucking cranky this week. I can't figure out why. I'm blaming it on PMS. I guess I'll get ready to sleep. Sometimes, I've found myself wishing for that drug in Freddy vs. Jason that they gave the teenagers so they wouldn't dream. It would be nice to have a break once in awhile.
