Just waiting...

Ok it's getting seriously frustratingly depressing now. Really need for the snow to fall. Apparently they're still definately going to open the chair lifts on the 27th, and next week there should be snow and things so it should be alright. At the top of the mountain their will be some at least, just have to catch the lift back down probably. Unfortunately it looks like we'll only get two weeks of snow time. The mood is the same with everyone pretty much, it's just waiting for the snow, but none so much as me. Incredibly unfortunate.



Alyson got back from Vancouver yesterday so that was very good. We went for a pretty good walk to Green Lake, passing Lost Lake again on the way. They're really beautiful as i've said and i can't wait to go back and see them when everything has snow, just better happen soon. During our walk we spotted what at first looked like squirrels, however due to their shorter tails and when they started speaking to us we realised that Alysons assumption was correct, these were in fact Chipmonks!!
At work the other night when i had to do my bin run, I saw some shady figures skulking around the dark alleyways, I was abit worried because i've heard that Coyote's wonder about at night. Eventually I got a good glimpse of them and it turned out to be a rather shy family of Racoons, three of them. They're awesome little creatures, I love all the woodland animals you get around here. You hear so many stories of how people see Coyote's at night, and Bears that wonder the Village, It's crazy. One of they guys down at reception said that when he went out for a smoke he'd just closed the door when he noticed a bear about 3 metres away. It was only the size of Shiba, so an average/largeish dog but they can still easily kill you. Would have weighed about 5 times as much as Shiba and big claws and so on that make it quite a worry. He kinda snuck back in whilst whistling to it trying to let it know he wasn't going to hurt it. Apparently their personality is abit like a cats, they don't really care about you, they'll just go about what they're doing until you actually make enough noise to scare it off or make it decide to leave. I wanna see one up a bit closer, though it'd be incredibly frightening at the same time.

Took Alyson to see Quantom of Solace last night and she liked it which was good. What's better however is that i've crushed her fetish for popcorn in the only way possible, through drowning. I've brought her home so much now and last night we again had way to much that she says no more. We'll see how long that lasts. It hasn't exactly lasted all that long with me considering just about every time I work i eat so much i get sick and then remember why i never want to have it again, or at least quite so much.

The Splitz Grill is a famous burger place over here, it's really really beautiful burgers. I've had the Spicy Lentil burger before so when we went that's what Aly got and i tried the Legendary Splitz burger which is beef. It was very delightful. I'd like to try compare it to the Ferg Burgers in Queenstown but i think it'll be out of mind by the time i get back there.
