So!
Someone handily requested that I put up a countdown timer to show when I'll be home. So I did just that..
(Yes it's damned ugly... but what do I care, you asked for it..)
In other news, Whistler was awesome. Not too much snow at the base of the mountain, but the upper half was perfect. Beautiful powder and generally great weather the whole weekend, me and Sean (who came all the way from Seattle to come with) went up really early Saturday morning (5 o'clock to be precise..) and rented all our stuff for the day when we got there.
We were up on the slopes by about 11. It was interesting really, it was our second day of snowboarding ever, both of us, but by the end of the day (after numerous stacks) I could tell we were both really getting the hang of it.
The next morning we both ached like we'd been tossed into a dryer, but I can almost move my arms again now so all is well..
Pics are coming, but I'm waiting for Sean to post them cause I didn't get any on the mountain, only around the village & stuff.
What else.. Ah! Of course, there's always drama. Because of the constant rain we've been getting here for the last couple of weeks, the city's water supply is full of sediment, and nobody can drink it. (Apparently the heavier-than-normal rainfall was caused by that tsunami that hit Japan a few days ago. Repercussions... gotta love em.. )
Funny really, considering this city gets probably the most rainfall of any city in the world.. Seriously, last winter it rained for almost a solid three months. I arrived shortly after it finished, but still.. I don't know how they weren't prepared.. I suppose you have to be prepared for anything when you're in a country that named their currency the 'loonie'..
Anyhow, I've got twenty-three seconds to deal with a certain megalomaniac canine mastermind that's sitting in my doorway taunting me with threats of mass destruction if I don't hand over my weather-control machine.. Sigh.. I'll have to stop here, but I'll be talking to you all very soon, oh and apologies if you got caught in that above mentioned tsunami.. I was tweaking the settings on the global-refractory-unit and- oh never mind..
Wots of wove.

Scratch the above, it didn't work.
How's the new Bond film?
Can't be better than "Never Say Never Again" can it?
Yay, one week to go! I know because the countdown tells me so. What a great idea that was...
Actually, I just had a great idea...if you still haven't seen Heroes we should have a vid night at some point as none of the others have seen it yet either. Catch ya soon.
Aloh!
oh my GOD!!! 4 day to go... super happy lucky time!!!
I don't know... i think it's a lovely colour motif on the clock, poo brown and blue... FAB! Kind of like Donatella Versace with powder blue eye shadow... EWWWW!! How's THAT for an analogy?
Nuff Said
Michael Awesome!
Bring your Wii remotes if you got em! I'll only have 2 because I'm cheap and spending alot of other money next week.
And Mum saw Phil at the Post Office so I know when you're leaving! Why Jim, why!? I promise I'll decrease the hugs if it'll help ;P
Yep, it's Ed. I just can't be bothered with "Other" at the moment. And I have no good reason why... anyhoo! See you sooooooon! I'll be the run hiding in your bedroom from tomorrow night to jump out and frighten you, so people!
... the line starts behind me!
Did I just use "run" for "one"!?
I'm such a dope
Could you bring the global-refractory -unit back with you? I could use it for world domination, thanks
Dave.
