I'm Llewell 'n' You?: August 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Tuesday, August 30, 2005. I've got a new nick name. Yup, it's "African Woman." When I first arrived in Accra, I'd see old white ladies on the street in traditional Ghanaian garb and I'd secretly laugh to myself that they probably came here when they were my age and got stuck. I'd look at them with a critical eye, thinking that Ghanaians probably thought they were a bit presumptious to be galavanting around in their culture's wardrobe. She also has a sewing machine set up in the court...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: December 2005

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Thursday, December 22, 2005. I've taken up tennis again. Not that I really left it anywhere, except in Toronto winters. You'd think after years of tennis camp with obnoxious eight year old blonde girls named Holly and other girls with names one should only call Christmas ornaments, I'd be quite good. But I'm average. Seems that sporadic playing does nothing for one's game. At least, not mine. It's Al Fresco. They have a pool and two tennis courts and a hand ball wall. I remove the lo...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: November 2005

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Four nights at the Black Star Hotel. Hopped on a tro tro last Thursday night. And boy oh boy it was quite the sight. Sat beside some chickens. That bawked the entire flight. Arrived in Bolgatanga at 9. This next part won't rhyme. Got off the tro and into a taxi. Told the man I must go and relax-y. He took me a hotel nearby. Called the Black Star and why? A black star sits in the flag of Ghana. To represent the peeps whose plant is the banana. Which looke...

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Sunday, July 31, 2005. White women can dance. I made my first Ghanaian girlfriends last night. We danced at 'Giddipass' and they decided I was cool because they said I could dance. I was very flattered! White (wo)men can dance! I ran into one at a restaurant called, 'Next Door' this afternoon and as soon as she saw me, she started dancing and we busted it for a bit! Had another drum lesson Friday afternoon and learned a continuation of the first song. I bought a drum too! The morning...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: September 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Monday, September 26, 2005. I can't come up with anything catchy. Just take a look at my blog title. Believe it or not, I actually thought about it for more than an hour and "I'm Llewell'n You? My show is about human rights issues. And the first thing I thought of was, "Human Rights Agenda," but somebody else at the station has "Agenda" in their title. And plus, doesn't it remind you of a name that some washed out journalist with a hair weave would call his show? Chapter 1 of It's Yo...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: October 2005

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Sunday, October 30, 2005. It's kind of fun being the only Canadian in town. When people ask where I'm from, I'm proud to say, "Canada." Not because I'm Miss Patriotic, but because their eyes light up when I say the C-word. Ghanaians seem to like Canada for two reasons:. 1 It's never in the news - which means we're never at war. 2 Everyone they've met from Canada is nice. But the other day, my dreams were shattered. Ricky, look at this! I said under my breath. Ghanaian music is good, ...

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Thursday, June 30, 2005. Whoops, there she is! Photo by: Chuck Stoody, CP. The ferry that runs between Vancouver Island and Vancouver crashed into at least 15 boats this morning, missing its docking post. Supposedly the boat lost power and they were blowing a whistle for a minute straight, trying to alert people on land to get out of the way. Can you imagine being the captain? A I'm about to kill some people, and it'll be all my fault. B I'm going to lose my job. Janey: "If I had to ...

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Saturday, April 30, 2005. What is Boutique Living? Vampirella. The vampire who hasn't seen daylight since the 50s. This classic woman, ehm, I mean building is "coming soon to Yorkville." Imagine running into this gem in the elevator? Eeeek I bet she eats children alive. Now there's someone you don't want to see everyday. Who looks like this? Where Luxury Comes Natural. Where luxury comes natural? What does that even mean? And, what's up with the tattoo? Buy now. Hoes come free. What ...

I'm Llewell 'n' You?: January 2006

http://imllewellnyou.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

I'm Llewell 'n' You? Tuesday, January 31, 2006. It's late. I'm alone. Again. I'm always alone here, and that's how I like it. It's just me - deciding where to go and what to do. Sometimes it's lonely. Sometimes it's exciting and other times empowering, although it's difficult to put my finger on why. He says with a grin. "I haven't seen you in a long time." I smile and tell him I travelled, thinking to myself how ironic it is. A man looking like that shouldn't be so nice. One thousand," he replies. I wal...
