A proper update

Enough impromptu film reviews and racist slurs, time for an update.

Look! A touristy picture of Canada!


So, still living the unemployed Canadian dream. Snowboarding some days, drinking beers in the sun most other days, and all this with a $20 per day budget. It's the dream.

Canada has been blessing us with copious amounts of sunshine recently so everyone has amazing goggle tans (or for the less snowboarding inclined; t-shirt tans). Which is funny until your cheeks start peeling. The sweltering heat (20 degrees has never felt so hot) does mean the snow is turning into horrible slush puddles of doom, and consequently you find yourself dodging mini-lakes at the bottom of the piste. Good news for the Slush Cup though coming up at the end of May. This is an annual event held at Sunshine where boarders and skiers have to 'surf' across a 20m puddle.

People's jobs on the hills are currently coming to an end so the unemployment clan is growing. Which is great news as the weekends (the worst days of the week for me because I can't use my pass) now mean I don't have to hang out by myself and watch episode after episode of How I Met Your Mother. Not that that's a bad thing. And with all my spare time I've become quite the chef. Yes, I still eat the same old crap: pizzas, hamburgers, curries. But now I make it all myself! I may get mocked for it, but I make a mean Vegetable Curry. I'm like a grown up.

Going on an 4,200 mile road trip (to Toronto and back) on Wednesday, which is gonna be an amazing 2 weeks. I'm actually gonna meet Canadian people!
