Spring Skiing

A couple of weeks ago, Dad, Kyle, and myself went skiing on a Friday to Alta : skiing's holy land. Truly Alta is one of the best place on earth. Well needless to say it was a fun time. I think I was the oldest one of the bunch. I had to keep up with Kyle AND Dad. Who would have thunk it. I guess it's my lifestyle of the laziness (which I have perfected). But it was really a lot of good stuff. One of the more memorable chairlift discussions was Kyle and I quoting 'Flight of the Conchords' and looking at the intrigue from Dad's face. One of my favorite things about skiing is to just take a look at the surrounding area. The views from the mountain top are the best, and definitely one of the best scenic views around. But overall, it was definitely worth skipping school.

Movie Review : AUGUST RUSH

We rented the movie August Rush. It stars Freddie Highmore (who was in Charlie and the Chocolate factory). It basically revolves around this boy who is an orphan hoping his parents find him. He is an extremely gifted musician, which helps him in his quest. Robin Williams has a minor role, and does well with it. I thought the soundtrack was really good. It's a feel good movie with great acting. I wanted "more" from the ending. But that's my only beef. It is rated PG for some thematic elements, mild violence and language. I give this movie a B.

Finished Painting

We finished painting and it really makes a big difference on how everything looks. It feels much more like home now.

Paint

We are painting our condo. Mike and Bonnie came all the way out from Washington DC to help. Well, they were here for other reasons, but it is very nice to have their help. I will post pictures when we are all done. It is already looking much better.

Pirate!

So this morning, I was running to my first class (I was late because of the crazy snow traffic). Right before I got to my classroom, I noticed in the corner of my eye that there was a teacher with an eye patch talking to someone in an office. So I thought to myself, "You know it's going to be a good day when it begins with seeing a pirate."
