My crazy ass dream!

4 and a half hour reading session!

We have just got the library after a day up on red mountain. We got home about an hour ago after a super cramped ride back to Rossland in annonymous Canadians golf mk4. Spoke to mumble and pops on the phone and now we are here. Today Jess' riding was really good again, though the same couldnt be said about her exiting from the chair lift. She caught her back edge bumping her bottom and head! poor little Jessie. Ive never before seen somone improve soo quickly at snowboarding and yet soo slowly at getting off the lift!

It was really foggy at the bottom but after the ride up silvelode the cload lifted to produce a bright 'summer-like' day with temperatures of +6! Crazy hot.
We had a few runs then had some lunch. Jess decided to have a bit of a rest from the chair lift falls and wait inside the lodge, while i went up red.

Exiting the Red chair lift in 'Jess-esque' style, i took the main run down red 'face of red' its soo steep and amazing. However, with snow on it, it would be a dream!
Then after seeing Jess i went up again and decided to walk on the wild side! Heading Down towards War Eagle trees & Poochie trees, never before have i seen such hard terrain as that. Its steep beyond belief and packed with trees. I tried my best with little success. Having to dig myself out of the odd gully or two. Absaloutley nackered and dripping with swet i got out and onto sallys run or something like that and headed down. Home time had never felt soo good.

Yesterday, after being summoned to pay the rent, i went $780 dollars in hand, over to the horrid people at century 21 (the whole crazy gang was there, Darrin & christine and crazy hair small guy) I handed to moolar over to small guy, and he wrote my reciept.. "whats your name again?"
"Dan"
"Dnn?"
"No, DAN"
''Den?"
"D.A.N" (he understood)
I asked about the bed, and it looks like its going to take until wednesday to get one.. We're not holding our breathe though.
"We might have one for you Wednesday...so come in Tuesday"
(how does that makes sense? I'll go Wednesday.)

Me and Jess walked to Cafe boots and had some tea anmd a a scone, it was lovely. I left Jess there and went down to Thompson Avenue to look at the house for James and matthew. It was nice inside than i expected, with the lovely big labrador meeting me at the door to lick my knees and steel my shoes. Its a bit cluttered but nice enough. Christa is the 35 year old skier who owns it, and already rents a room out to a 18 year old snowboarder (hence the xbox)

(Just had to stop typing as Crazy legs Angela came into the library so we had to hide!)

Anywhoo, back to the house. The room upstairs is basic to say the least. A matress on the floor of a 4meter x 4 meter room.
So, maybe (matthew and James) we will need to see if we can get another matress or something?

Apart from that, and it being 15 minutes walk from town. Its not bad for $300..

Now, Jess thought i should put this in because it made her laugh. I had a really wierd dream the other night. It started when i popped over to my mum and dads house (who now living in Rossland) I told them that me and Jess had just spent 4 and a half hours reading! (actually true) and they said ahh, you shoulkd have popped over to use our swimming pool and hot tub! They were having a wale of a time in there big place. Then out of the blue, Martin from M.G.S came into the room with his clan, they too were renting the house with ma and pa. How much did you pay for this place? said martin.. Ahh i got it cheaper (he wwas thrilled)

Then Wondering where jess was i went home. She had gone to her grammas (also in Rossland) But she had been there ages. I text her with no reply, went onto the interenet and there she was messaging all her friends and some of mine! (Andy and Dom) well she sure wasnt hurrying back.

Anywho, that didnt matter as i had a place to be! I went down and took my place in the crowd, on some kind of weird stage with lots of people watching. Then a presenter person with a microphone started saying "now anyone who is under 6ft is aliminated!" It was some sort of wierd game show and i knew i had a good chance of winning if it was down to height.. Next to me there was 'Sophie' from the tv show 'peepshow' she looked worried. (This would have been down to the fact shes rather small).
Then some crazy music kicked in and we all started dancing! Then deciding thatthis might give me a better chance at looking even taller. I started dancing crazily waving my spider-long, spinddley legs and arms around in the air like a monkey! This, obviously looking incredible, drew alot of attention. "hey look at that guy, he's really tall!"
My plan had worked. I woke up to the horrible Nokia alarm.
I never found out whether i won the competition or not : (

Right whats next.. ahh yes, t'other evening, me and jess, feeling bored again decided to read our books. Jess reading her 'Rebbeca' and me with 'Tomaz Humar'. We read and read and read. Looked at the clock andit was 10.30 p.m, we had read for just under 5 hours! Crazy.
My book is really good and im just about finished now. Wanting to know abit more about the excellent climber Tomaz Humar, i checked on the internet. And it turns out that he died just two months ago! It felt really strange to have just read his life stories, about his close calls with death, amazing climbs/escapes, only to find out he died soo recently.
Strange.

Right i better go as Jess has just reminded me that i have to email Angela and Matthew.

Bye for now!

Dan & Jess
