So it’s certainly been an eternity since I’ve posted on here. I’ve used my cell quite a bit for taking on-the-spot pictures and it refuses to acknowledge the exsistance of my computer, or uploading to FB. *boo!*
Oh, and we went for a walk last week, Alice Lake, heaven on earth. Its February. (8th-ish) Wanna go swimming?? The other one is of myself and Kevin, a fellow volunteer here from Revelstoke. Great guy! Super funny!
So .. thoughts on the opening ceremonies? ? I’ve heard some controversial comments on how she “Americanized” the Canadian national anthem.. I thought it was a little dragged out, but on the plus side, at least she’s got a wonderful set of pipes on her.
I still haven’t watched all of the ceremonies yet, but the parts that I did manage to catch were absolutely amazing (and kinda funny; yay technical difficulties!). It was pretty much common knowledge around here that Wayne was going to be lighting the tourch. Betty Fox had carried it the day before, the Rick Hansen the day before that.. and the Gov-ah-nat-or had carried it earlier that day in Stanley Park (apparantly quite the site to see.. why he carried it.. who knows.. he was a steroid junkie when he was in his prime.. anti-doping would have had fun with him!)
K.D. Lang BLEW MY MIND. She’s got a great set of pipes on her (voice, not arms) and woah. I’m still super addicted to it. Then the tribal dancers were fantastic as well.. and had the endurance to dance for the entire time that the athletes were parading throughout the stadium, plus their own entrance. Kudos!!
So at WOP we have four events, Ski Jump, Cross Country, Nordic Combine (such a wierd event) and Biathalon. Watching the ski jumping has been great. Its so cool to watch those guys flying in the air. I’m excited to see the guys jump off of the big jump this week. I’m gonna take pictures, I promice! Cross country was today, I’m gonna try and check them out on my next shift. They’re so close to us.
COW BELLS. It’s all we hear. COWBELLS. They’re on sale at Wallymart in town, and are non-stop. It’s amazing, but brings a whole new meaning to the needing of more cowbell! Eek! There are so many travellers here too! I’ve become really good friends with some of the locals, and am seriously considering moving here post graduation. Its beautiful, and theres so much to do !
Okay. I”m starting to babble.. A lot.
Hopefully the pictures work.
Cousins are going to the Canada v. Norway game tomorrow. I’m sooo excited for them! I get to spend some time with their little one, who is just toooooo cute for words. (for real. she’s gonna be a man eater :p )
Gah. Time is flying by so fast. It sucks! I’m gonna be headed back to Winnipeg soon, and its gonna be the most depressing drive of my life.
BLAH.
SO much I want to say. gonna stop now.
