Whistlers Lakes

Well in the past couple of days we've been to visit most of the surrounding lakes that are within walking distance. On wednesday it was rainy and things but Lost Lake still looked brilliant. Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day, something rare in these parts, so we went walking for a few hours to three more lakes, Alpha, Nita and Alta Lakes. They're all spectacular, the views are astonishing because of the clearing that the Lakes create you can see some of the incredible surrounding mountains. It's really brilliant and I look forward to seeing the all again once everything is covered in a thick layer of snow! Some of the lakes are so glassy that it honestly reflects just like a mirror, got a couple of awesome photos that when you turn the camera upside down it looks just like I've taken shots of the landscape, not the reflection in the water. Can't beleive just how reflective it was.

Alyson went back down to Vancouver last night, she'll be coming back up on Saturday at some point which leaves me quite lonely. But i'm working all three days anyhow, so she would have been on her own otherwise i guess. Last night to help drown the loneliness I went and saw a couple of movies. Bottle shock is about the succes off the Napa Valley vineyards in Calafornia, it's ok. And then the very first showing of the new James Bond 007 Movie. Bit of a let down, still good, not as good as Casino Royale though. Nice Aston DBS but it's only in the movie for the first car chase scene unfortunately. And you barely see it before once again it gets pretty wrecked.

Must move on quickly.

Paintballing the other day.

Well it was just like paintball always is, but it was so cold, and rainy, which i'm really not used to. It's usually extremely hot when i've played in the past obviously in brisbane. Also the most amusing differing aspect is that we had to watch out for bears, apparently they enjoy the sweet nectar of paintball as well. It's a vegetable based paint you see.
One of the rounds that we did was just crazy, it was invincible capture the flag. Two teams start on either side and the idea is to get the flag from the middle to their opposing side. And you can get hit as much as you want. It's a ridiculousu round, crazy. I was the hero though! hahaha. i ran and took the flag to the other side in about 30 sec and recieved at least 20 hits and some from within a couple of metres because i ran round the side of one of the trucks and caught someone by surprise, they regathered themselves and got me a lot though. The most annoying thing about it was that my gun could not shoot in a straight line. I had a clear view of people sometimes and i would take 20 shots and not one would hit, they went in different directions mid air everytime, most guns were just about as bad as mine but one of they guys on the other team had the straightest shooting gun i've ever seen. It's like the disadvantage of a slow kart when go-karting; incredibly frustrating. The group of people I went with were from the cinema, Alyson was invited to come but she preffered to save the money, and i'm not sure she would have enjoyed it so much. One of our manages at the cinema looks exactly like Dan Accroyd as well as Elvis. He's a strange man, but we were told that he had nicknames for Mack and I who'd both recently started there. I was bitch because I tie my hair up and Macks was considerably worse because he thinks he's gay in how he acts gangtser cause he's all into the skiing scene. he's actually sponsored and everything so he must be pretty damn awesome. Anyhow the day was successful because apparently I'm going from bitch to hero after my run, that's exciting news, and i recieved some decent welts to go with.
