Warren Miller...Now I Am Ready For Ski Season!



So on Thursday, I went to the Dominion Cinema to go watch a Warren Miller film. Warren Miller is this guy who began filming skiing back in the 60's and he has continued to make movies since then. These films are documentary-style and include some of the most well-known skiers and snowboarders from around the world. This year's film was titled "Wintervention". It included areas such as Antarctica, Alaska, Colorado, Argentina and Georgia (the country). The theatre that we went to was the most comfortable theatre I have ever been in. It's a smaller theatre and the screens are small, but the seats are absolutely amazing! The theatre we were in seated about 200+ people. The chairs were black leather reclining chairs with nice wooden tables next to them for your drinks and in between every other chair was a huge black leather couch! Talk about comfort! I highly recommend this little theatre over the huge theatre downtown. They don't show all of the new releases as readily as the larger theatre, but they eventually come out. It just takes slightly longer. Anyway, it was a blast! The movie got me very excited for ski season, which will be in January or February sometime. I think I am looking at either booking a trip to Zermatt, Switzerland or going to Norway again. Norway was cheap and was a blast! I really want to go skiing now!!! The addiction has resurfaced once again, as it usually does around this time of year... I think Bill would agree with me on this, if I had all the money in the world I would be a professional ski bum! I would be chasing winter all year round, even if that meant going to Antarctica! Of course, my awesome girlfriend Kristen would have to join me, however, first she would have to learn to not fall into orange fencing ;)

So, 4.5 weeks and I will be in AZ!!! Getting excited! In about 6 weeks Kristen will be in AZ too!!! Double exciting!!! Ahhh! This also means exams are coming up quickly! I better memorize all of these drugs! I've gotten the Parasympathetic Nervous System drugs committed to memory so far, I have so many more to go though... Shouldn't be too bad if I memorize a class of drugs every day. Anyway, I should get going and continue on studying. Hope everyone is doing well! Can't wait to see you all very soon!!!
