New Home

Well, I've moved again. This time, I should be set for the season. I'm now living about 10 minutes walking from the village (as opposed to 10 minutes driving), and I have my own room. Basically I'm renting a room from a family who are renting the ground floor of a house. There are 2 other sets of people living upstairs: a couple and a group of guys. I haven't met any of them yet. The room is quite nice with plenty of space for my things. I've got a window, a closet, and I sleep on a futon which doubles as a couch. For this 10X10 foot area, plus internet, utilities, and use of the kitchen/washer/dryer, I pay $800/mo. Yeah.

The family is Brendan (12), Dan (16), and Lisa (?), and they're very nice people. I don't think living with them will be a problem. So I'm happy and Finally settled in for the winter. Whew.

I haven't written much lately because there's nothing happening. I've been working only 2 days/week and spending the other 5 sleeping, watching movies, cleaning my car, running, playing guitar, walking around, cleaning my room, cooking, brushing my teeth, playing guitar, cleaning my room, watching movies....you get the picture: anything to fill my time.

Yesterday Lars, Michael, Sungse and I went on a mission to Squamish seeking more affordable groceries, and we had a blast. We each bought massive amounts of food and crammed it into the trunk of the Passat. None of them had ever eaten Wendys, so I made them all purchase a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and a Frosty before we headed back up to Whistler. I also splurged and bought new guitar strings (yes!).

Tomorrow Lars, Michael and I are headed to Rainbow Lake for a hike. It should be interesting since WHISTLER GOT SNOW ON THURSDAY!!!! 16" OF IT!!!! and there's a 60% chance of rain showers. Hopefully one of the boys will bring a camera. Also when I get a camera I'll post more pics of my room etc.
