Another night skiing in powder. Too bad BJ broke his lurk and possibly concussed himself.

Played a game of tag (manhunt) in downtown vancouver last night. Cops got called because someone thought that people were getting mugged :) Interesting times...

?!?!?!

I need a new bathing suit for work. Since I was off at 4:30 today, I decided that it was the perfect chance to rush and get to the store where i can find cheap suits for under $50 before they close at 5pm.
First my little Tercel u-turns on Georgia St. (! if you know vancouver you know that that was a dare devil move indeed) in order to drive north over the Lion's gate bridge. Then it roared it's way over the bridge and into North Vancouver.
4:47pm - still time to make it.
I turn right to head towards the water only to get stopped at a railroad crossing just as the train is about to cross. So I wait.
And wait.
4:56pm - still time to make it there and convince the employees to let me speed shop.
Still waiting (is this possibly the longest train in the world?!).
Finally, I see the end of the train.

Unfortunately for me though, 10 cars before it passes, the train slows and stops.
Now it starts going backwards.
(You've got to be kidding me.)
As car after car passes me again all I can do laugh - only when you're in a rush do these things happen.
5:07pm - I think I may have missed my chance. Guess I'll just try again tomorrow.

The irony in this story? After the train passed I ended up in a shipyard and not on Welsh St as I had hoped...

Baker was beautiful and the skiing was grand. Here is one of the slopes we tackled.

A dino comic about how I was feeling for part of the day
(I had a major headache after being pummeled by a snowboarder. My response to his "sorry"? "Fuck you." - I had no idea I had it in me...)

Jon Stewart

If I'm allowed one affair, Jon Stewart is who I would have it with. (Of course, I don't ever really think there would be the opportunity so it's a safe statement to make)

Hilarious, intellegent, cute, repectful...is there more you can want in a guy?
Him having a television show is a nice bonus.
And the fact that he's a devoted husband with a great marriage so it's even more unlikely, hot!

(this is the reason I sort of wished I watched some of the Oscars)
