So yeah I'm still alive

Ok so very quiet blog, sorry about that. Guess I haven't had anything profound to say, but that didn't stop me at the start :)

It is hard to believe I have already been here 6 weeks. Time is as usual running away from me. So 6 weeks in America.

The pronunciation sucks, the people are lovely, the snowboarding rocks and infomercials are cruel and unusual punishment. Oh and the weather makes back home look predictable (50degree temperature swing in 2 days?! Ok that's F not C but still!).

Oh and if I ever meet the woman with the irritating laugh in the quiznos advert I will turn violent...which means nothing to any of you but trust me Job would have slapped her...well he'd be harbouring violent thoughts anyway.

I still wouldn't say I'd established a life here yet but I have at least found a church, with a cool creative arts emphasis which I will hopefully be getting involved with.

I've been snowboarding twice and would now actually be comfortable saying that I can snowboard, just a shame the season is finishing here this weekend :(

I'd like to apologise also for...grr just wasted a couple of minutes trying to work out how I was misspelling apologise, then worked out that I wasn't, apparently Blogger uses a US spell checker :)

Anyway, yes sorry for not being in touch with you all back home (and scattered around the globe) I've been doing my usual thing of letting life run away with me.


By way of an apology here is a little sample of a cultural experience I enjoyed early in my time here - The Superbowl....adverts. Frankly I couldn't remember a darn thing about the game 10 minutes after but the ads were funny and this one is my fave.

I also love a recent one for the caffeinated beverages of a certain well known 'restaurant' chain unfortunately I can't find anywhere to link to for that, it is one I think Clairy Fairy would particularly appreciate.

Hopefully I will have something more interesting to say in my next entry, oh and will get round to putting some more pics up (I have some cool DC-in-the-snow shots which apparently doesn't happen much).

I have two draft entries for the 'accidentally' blog too but don't know if they will ever see the light of day. Ah well babbling so will stop :)

Love you all
Dx

PS. any remaining spelling mistakes are due to me rushing and being stubborn and refusing to use US spelling rendering the spellchecker slightly useless :P
