Alpine Meadows Panorama

by

Here it is, finally, in all it’s shoddily-pasted-together glory! I spent a good couple of hours on the previous two, and I really can’t be sodded spending all night tweaking this one. Don’t look too closely. :)

Yay for drugs-on-demand

by

Well, after five or six weeks of indecisive back and forth, dilly-dallying and backflipping, my right big toe decided it was going to get infected. I think it’s even contemplating coming off entirely – it’s half detached now anyway. Quit bitchin’ and just be lucky I didn’t post pictures. :P So now I’m packin’ 40… Read more

Statisticians have all the fun

by

As of about now, I have listened to my music collection for a sum stretch of 19 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 46 minutes and 34 seconds. Thereabouts.

Suspiciously healthy

by

I had a quick blood test the other day, just tip-of-the-finger style, for blood sugar & cholesterol levels. And had my blood pressure checked, too. Blood sugar was 89 – one off ‘perfect’ of 90, but I think the Kit Kat immediately afterwards probably rectified that ;) – and the cholesterol was lower than they… Read more

Alpine Meadows skiing

by

So, skiing. Friday morning our plans changed – James, whom works at Loopt, was able to get their corporate cabin for the weekend, which is up somewhere just north of Tahoe City. So we cancelled the motel in South Lake Tahoe (pfft, $160 cancellation fee… arses) and planned to hit Alpine Meadows instead. The name… Read more
