So here’s a bit of a recap.
Last week I hiked up a mountain with my sister. The photos are displayed backwards… so the first ones you’ll see are from near the end of the hike, as we were trying to find our way down. The whole point of the hike was I wanted to get a picture of the sunset from the top of said mountain, and in order to make it to the top in time, we decided to leave the trail we were following (Photo of the route we took up), and cut through the brush. The last photo from the ’set’ shows, from where we were standing on the path, the route we took up the side. When we got to the top, we realized we weren’t going to be able to take the same way down… it would have just been too steep (Photo), so we took the one path we found at the very top, and it took us along the entire top of the mountain, and down the other side. So, quite literally, we hiked the entire mountain. It took us 3 hours, and wasn’t in our original plan, but we both figured it was worth it.
I got to see Cirque de Soleil with Shauna. That was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. One thing that bothers me a lot today is how little effort is put into most forms of entertainment these days. Especially in the music industry, where talent is pretty much irrelevant; you just need a good image and they can fudge the talent part after the fact. So, in seeing Cirque de Soleil, I was in love simply due to how much effort they put into the performance. Not even counting the main acts themselves, I would have been happy simply admiring the costumes, music, and ‘bit parts’ throughout the show. The attention to detail was incredible; absolutely every last tiny thing was perfect. If you ever have the chance to go, even if it’s by yourself, I say this is one thing you cannot do without. And don’t worry about seating (Unless you can spring for front-row on the floor), there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
I got a DS (Black/Cobalt Blue), and Animal Crossing, and I have to admit it’s pretty damn fun. Unfortunately the wireless in my house seems to be very finicky… so I’m going to have to try to fiddle with it to see if I can have both WiFi for my DS, and internet for my network.
