Tonight I went to a concert of the Blue Man Group at the Basket ball stadium of MSU. Ernie's wife Abby gave me a ticket that her brother wasn't going to use and that was really cool! I had an awesome time, these blue guys definitely have the sense of rhythm! It was a pretty show too with plenty of visuals and some pretty funny jokes. That's quite different from my usual metal concerts but that was refreshing. If you guys have the opportunity to go to one of their shows I would definitely recommend it, good times!
Thanks for reading Montana Clem.

brrrrrrrr
As I'm writing this post, I just came back from outside, this crazy horrendous place and it's -3°F which is approximately -20°C. Do you know how I realized that we reached that kind of temperatures? Well I just suddenly experienced something I didn't feel since Finland, two years ago (Already !!! Damn this is going way too freaking fast, seriously) and this feeling is: the humidity in my nose freezing. I tell you, that is a good indicator for -20. At -40 there is another level, when your eyelids freeze together when you close your eyes and that's a troubling experience.
So what's new with me? Well since the beginning of this year I've been pretty busy. Busy with work, writing my internship report (a god forgotten task that ruins your hopes and crushes you like you're a nothing until you start hallucinating great ancient life forms dominating parallel universes and coming in your dreams to force you to worship it wearing a hello kitty hat. That is pretty disturbing. I tell you) and traveling around. Yep traveling! So I've been to Glacier with Sarah, we rented a cottage there. It was a lot of fun, we've been x-country skiing under some kind of snow storm that covered our tracks so we could have a greater chance to get lost and die frozen in a middle of one of the prettiest US state parks. Also that would keep us in a good state of conservation so that the human things that will crawl over the surface of the planet in 120 000 years could fin us and expose our bodies in a freak-show-2nd-millennium museum.
By chance (thanks to my tremendous orientation skills) we made it safe back to the car and brought back some lovely skiing pictures.
Last week end I went to visit my good old pal Hunter in Fredericksburg Virginia! And man I had a blast!! Since Hunter studied history in College he was able to describe me the civil war battles and how the south was fighting a pretty unfair war (the odds were for the north who had the majority of the population). I say, that's bravery. But anyway, I love history and such, I always find it fascinating and instructing. I believe our leaders often make the mistake to look down on history thus making over and over the same stupid mistakes. We visited Williamsburg which had a pretty neat college. Jamestown, the fist British settlement. Yorktown, where the French and Americans battled together to kick the ass of Brits, unfortunately they surrendered before the battle started. Good for us, that one battle we didn't have to surrender. Vive la France!
Finally we went to Washington DC, which look very different form what I remember back in 1998. Now it's some kind of business/administration bunker with military fences, patrols and alien motherships.
Well, as you can read, I'm trying to have the best of the time I have left in the US. Putting behind the old stories, building some good new fresh memories.
With this I tell you thanks for reading Montana Clem. Giving news from the cold front.

EDIT: This morning the temperatures are -20F which is ... -28°C

Happy new year !
Happy new year everyone! I wish you all a very successful 2008 with loads of fun. Last night we went to one of Bozeman's pubs the 317 (st patrick's day) had a beer, blew some whistles and shouted at midnight. That was fun! We walked from my apartment to main street which took a good 35 minutes so we didn't use the car. That wouldn't be fun to start the year with a DUI... Rochelle and Zack her boyfriend joined the party just on time, like 15 minutes to midnight. We had a good time, goofing with the Party hat and the whistles. Then Zack drove us back to my flat.
That's about it :)
Happy new year !
