dreaming of a white...

[thurs, 8pm est]
it's interesting how trips can go... smoothly... unsmoothly.. there just isn't a medium.. it's either one way or the other.. as i'm sitting in front of the gate (at the time where we should have left the runway already), i feel tired from yet another week (80% finished-work week 100% finished).. i arrived about 80 minutes before the flight... hmm. reminds me of this morning where i left the house early to get to work earlier... and there was a delay at davisville which in turn held up our train for at least 15 minutes to get down to eglinton.... but yeah, it's crossed my mind to try to do some work and call a reference, but i wonder if that would be pushing it.. i tried watching Heroes episode 14 (for the 3rd sitting), but my eyes just can't deal with it right now (i've watched episode 15 already, no worries :p)..

for some strange reason, i assumed there would be free wifi or something.. boo urns. oh wellz, i'll save this until i get to chris' uncle's place... hopefully our place in canmore has wireless, or i'm SOL in terms of getting access to work stuff.. what i need is xp remote desktop for my macbook so i can log onto my machine at home to use citrix to log into our server in ottawa :P next time..

as i'm typing pure gibberish, i'm enjoying the daydreaming about snow... i have this ski magazine with me that's talking about the top 50 resorts in north america.. i wonder if it's even worth it to go to europe before visiting jackson's hole (wyoming), vail (colorado), squaw (cali) or deer valley (utah) or the other great places in the rockies north and south..

i've been discussing with myself as to whether i should carry my 17-55/d50 w/ me on the slopes or just a smaller lense like the AI 24mm f/2.8 or AIS 50mm f/1.8 or just carry the canon digicam that i brought for vids (i want to capture kimi doing his 720 action tomorrow on the slopes of Norquay).. everyone has said that banff is gorgeous and great view of "God's country" quoted as in Ski magazine.. so i'm thinking about foregoing the postcards and trying to make my own :P

[2:55am, friday]

saw the prestige (w/o audio) and talked to my neighbour about banff a bit. should be awesome.

4 days. FOUR days. miss y'all.
