Off to Seattle!

Tuyet and I are off to Seattle for the next 4 days. Why? We are going to see Daft Punk on the 29th and also catch a Mariners game on the 29th as well. For those days we aren't going to the games

I'm Back!!!

...or I hope I am. Where have I been? I've been around. Mostly on the evil Facebook and when I'm not on that I'm doing other things such:

-Finished my spring EMR class with flying colors at the end of June. Probably one of the most enjoyable experience of my academic life.
-Preparing to write my ACP test for EMR in September (So I can be a fully certified EMR in Alberta).
-Taking Abnormal Psych in the Summer Semester at the U.
-Start working as a lab assistant tomorrow at the U for credit and a reference letter!
-Went to a ton of Weddings in May and June.
-Going to Seattle this weekend with Tuyet to go and see Daft Punk in concert! I will also be catching a Mariner's game too! Go Ichiro!
-Playing Flag Football on the Venga Bus through the CSSC Recreational League.
-Playing Soccer on the Crazy 88's through the U of C Intramural League.

That's all I can think of now...

Weekend @ Fernie

Wow am I ever a ski bum this year! Since I've bought my board (early January) I have gone boarding 4 times and I am going again this weekend! The 4th time was in Fernie and I went there with Christian and Andrew. We decided to go there after I found a great deal online at Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. The deal was $99/person and it included a single day lift ticket and a one night stay at a hotel at the base of Fernie. Considering a lift ticket is around $70 this was a steal for lift ticket and one night accommodations.

We left Calgary at about 7PM and after a fun 2 1/2 hour drive we were at our lodgings at the Wolf's Den (or known to Chris and I as the Wold's Den). The room was your bare minimal. It had two double beds/bathroom and a mono tv. We had a great view...of the parking lot from our window since we were on the ground floor. The hallway wreaked of chlorine since the hot tub was only a few doors down from us. That night none of us had a good sleep due to uncomfortable mattresses and an alarm clock that always makes that noise when a cell phone receives a signal (I really don't know why we didn't pull that thing out of the wall!).

After what seemed like only a few hours of sleep (we were in bed for at least 7 hours) we showered, donned our boarding gear, checked out and headed for some expensive breakfast at the main lodge. For a bagel/egg/bacon/lettuce/tomato breakfast sandwich+bottle of orange juice it was $9.75!!! Good ol' rip off ski lodge pricing. But it was actually pretty good and filling ...I don't know if it was $9.75 good though. Then we met up with Chris' friend Brian and went boarding for the rest of the day!

Boarding at the top of the mountain was insanely fun. There was so much powder everywhere and the view was incredible. We did have difficulty navigating our way through the harder blue runs, but it was also a good learning experience. By the end of the day I was so tired and sore that I couldn't even make simple turns from heel to toe!

We called it quits by about 3PM, dropped Brian off and had some eats at A&W. After that we headed to Frank Slide. It was way too windy when we got out to explore the slide, so we just took a few quick pictures and drove off. It was a really amazing place as there were rocks as big as a house on the side of the road from the slide!

I got home at about 6PM (another 2 1/2 hour return trip) and basically passed out at the end of the night. What a great trip, I think I will definitely have to do this again next March (hopefully the special will be on again). Perhaps get a convoy of friends out there for a 2 day trip even. That would definitely rock the Kasbah.

P.S. I will upload the trip pictures to Flickr in a few days when I am less busy (or lazy)

Beyond.ca on TV!

Has anyone been following the Silver Acura RSX hit & run story in Calgary over this past weekend? Well if you haven't then here is your chance. Read it here.

Basically a member on beyond.ca posts a thread for his friend because his friend was rear ended by a Silver Acura RSX and the driver of the RSX drove off (hit & run). A few hours later another member posts pictures that he took of the guy in his RSX driving off from the scene of the accident! The thread starts to get Diggs and the news is spread all over the internet! Look at the traffic increase for Beyond.ca since the thread started by clicking here. And click here to see what Shelton did to prevent the beyond.ca server from crashing due to the "Digg effect".

Later Shelton aka Rage2 (owner/operator of beyond.ca) was interviewed on CTV. Wearing shorts for an interview...classic!


Here are the original pictures the member photographed of the criminal:






And then people started photoshopping the originals and this is one of my favourites:

RAWR!

Half the size of my w810i and seems to be made of anodized metal (sexy!). I want it! Only thing holding me back is the $700 price tag!!! Maybe there is a MUCH cheaper one on ebay (I doubt).
