it's been a while...is anyone still here...? what is new in the wonderous land of sg?

Well, I've decided that SG is just too fun to be away from for this long. Summer's here which means I've got lots more time than I do during the season. Lots of photosets to catch up on. Lots of friends I haven't been in touch with. Hope everyone's well!

Here is why I haven't been around. I am in golden every weekend. During the week, I have two nights of (brutal) dryland training, and the other two days I'm doing all those boring, mundane things that need to be done. Not very good excuses but there you go. Tonight, though, Coolmelon and I are going to the Warehouse to check out the SG burlesque...

Season's over and I'm still unemployed, making me officially depressed. I'm moping around and feeling sorry for myself. Not all that fun to be around really. So say nice things to me to cheer me up K?

There's a tree outside that spits sticky sap stuff all over everything. I had to really pull to get my car door open and you can't see out...

About friggin time for an update hey? I've been much, much more involved with the whole snowboarding deal this year and it's taken up an awful lot of my time, but things are dying down a bit, only a month left in the season. Sad but true.

I got laid off. Yeah. And a shitty, cheap-ass severance package. However, the weeks of severance and the...

Time to update. I've been riding a lot. I had a pretty bad fall last week - a sudden and complete stop while going very fast...a moderate concussion, actually lost consiousness, had a very sore neck, my nose blew up three times its normal size (the septum ring had to go - but I'm definitely getting it redone as soon as my nose stops hurting,...

I miss SG! Seems like I have no time these days, I'm either at work, at my instructing job, on the hill or recuperating. I won't bore anyone with the details but I am more obsessed with snowboarding than ever.

MY BRACES ARE OFF!!! That's the biggest news. I am thrilled. It's as though my mouth has been imprisoned all this time and is finally...

Well, I've been tagged twice now! fstop, danaide, here you go

These are just twenty random things that came to mind.

1. This is an obvious one but snowboarding is my biggest passion - and that's probably a bit of an understatement.

2. I am superstitious and always pick up 'good luck pennies' and wish on the first star I see at night....

I went to the Audioslave show last night. It was great, and completely exceeded my expectations. If you get the chance, check them out.

I saw two film festival movies. Black Widow and Graveyard Alive, both of which were great and definitely worth seeing.

'Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'. Sure it's just three episodes randomly strung together but they're all hilarious which more than...

I'm back! I absolutely LOVED Argentina! The people, the food, the shopping (HA!) and of course - the snow!!

Riding the Andes was a dream come true. I had to pinch myself every morning. I did some crazy extreme shit that I never would have thought I was capable of. I feel invincible, like I could do any run, on any mountain. I am incredibly...
