Unfortunately my blackberry no longer has service so this will be my final update, done from the computer in the hotel lobby. Sucks too because I had much written down yesterday. And I've been fighting off a cold for the last few days but it's been stubborn (much like myself) and has hit me with full force today. Anyhow, to summarize, two more full days...

Friday - Day 7
Swiss women have really round shapely butts. Maybe it's the cheese.
I woke up this morning to a lot less pain than expected. And even better, the sun was shining. We rode the two gondolas up above the clouds and took tons of gorgeous photos. Riding in the morning was a bit slow cuz all the fairweather people were on the...

Swiss gay boys, eh? Sounds like you're keeping yourself busy, at least.
Oh and you missed out on Wes's inaugural poker game last night, it was fun. I won the Omaha tournament.

Thursday - Day 6
Two of us broke our bindings today. You know you had a good day when you end up breaking something. Verbier is awesome! It's a very modern, expensive resort. The mountain is huge and I think we're all finally riding the way we should've been all week. Frontsides, backsides, and a few too many upside down sides. Today was the kinda...

Go Luna!

Well, first, we had Sarah with us - I always find that an energetic female presence will infuse me with partying-energy. And of course, all the meth. Can't forget the meth.
You best come visit this season, 'cause there's plenty of nightlife and barely-legal girls here, too.

Wednesday - day 5
Greetings from Verbier, Switzerland.
Did I mention that it snows a lot here? It hasn't stopped since we got here so we made the decision to leave Les Diablerets this morning. Somehow I was chosen as spokesperson to break the news to Dre. He happened to come by our room so I told him in front of the others. I felt...

I am so insanely jealous right now. It sounds like your trip has been incredible so far. The scenery alone makes skiing in Europe worthwhile.
nadzofsteel:
Hehe. You're buff.

Tuesday - day 4
Dear diary: I haven't eaten cheese yet today and I've already had two meals!
Glacier 3000 rocked.... For the 4 or 5 runs we were able to fit in. The snow under your board sounds kinda like a baby wookie rather than cap'n'crunch like back home. It was soft fluffy and silky smooth. Then the fog and snow rolled in. I've...

Monday - Day 3
I finally got a full nights sleep last night. So long jetlag ya fuckin pain in the ass.
I woke up this morning and it was snowing flakes the size of volkswagens. So much fresh new powdery snow, but only to find out that it's whiteout conditions (clouds+fog+tons of snow eq zero visibility) on the mountain. Who woulda thought I'd ever...

A 148 in powder?!?! You'll be working your lungs like crazy all week as you dig yourself out 4 times a day. But I'm totally jealous, and keep the updates coming. (u posting this to the Snowboarders list?)
Rock on.
Rock on.

All I know of snowboarding is SSX 3, so that's what I'm imagining here.
Sunday - Day 2
Day one you ask? Well after barely sleeping on the plane, day 1 is a hazy memory. I landed in Geneva, breezed through customs, found John, and we managed to make it to the hotel with only a slight bit of dumb American confusion. James met us in the hotel lobby during an awkward conversation with the front desk. We went...

Day 0
Sitting at JFK waiting an hour for the plane. I tried passing the time at the bar but the unecessarily loud broadcast of UPN drove me to the gate. The Tyra Banks show...

yay! you got it to work. sweet.
so i went to the curiosa festival on saturday.
first off, let me begin by saying randall's island is a total dump. not only does it smell like used gym sneakers stuffed with sweaty socks that have been sitting in a locker for 3 weeks, but it's also a dirty, rock covered field with the *occasional* patch of weedy grass. and not the good weed...

Lucky you.
today was the third time some complete stranger came up to me and said "have you ever seen Half and Half on UPN? cuz either you are on that show or you look exactly like him". if any of you can find out who this *imposter* is and inform me, you get a big kiss. also, i watched the sopranos last night. it was awesome....

But you are a drawing and that guy looks possessed. I don't really see how people could confuse the two things.
