I just installed the WordPress app on my iPod touch! It’s a pretty cool app that lets you post to your blog while you are on the move. I’m writing this post on it too.

You can even add images!

My Snowboard

Friday, June 12th, 2009

A few weeks ago I finally got my act together and purchased a snowboard and some gear. I’m really going to go all out on learning how to ride this winter and I can’t wait till I get good!

I went to a big ski and snowboard gear sale and picked up an ex-rental snowboard for $85! I didn’t want to fork out the big bucks and spend hundreds on a board that I’d probably end up scratching the hell out of!I picked up some boots and bindings in the local shops in Queenstown. I decided on getting new boots and bindings as I have been told it’s really important to make sure they fit the best.

Hey Everyone! Its been ages since I have updated the blog! Have just been having a great time down here in Queenstown! The weather is very chilly as we’re just getting into the winter season!

A Quick rundown of what I’ve been up to the past 3 or 4 weeks:

  • Became housemates with Seb and Sophie
  • Joined a covers band of which I am the bass player! Seb is the drummer
  • Shopped around for a great deal on a snowboard, boots and bindings
  • Became a member of local pub Surreal, member get cheap pints
  • Had many a late night in said pub above
  • Attempted to buy a car with Trish on several occasions
  • Made my first pasta bake – chorizo and veg :)
  • Found a new love in hot whiskey
  • Saw Star Trek and Terminator Salvation in the Cinema
  • Went to a fancy dress house party…. I dressed up as a nerd, Trish was a robber and Seb and Sophie were two halves of a sandwich!
  • Not even attempted to look for a job
  • Snowboarded!

We’re living in a house of 7, well 8 if you include Dorge our cat :) We live about a 10 minute walk away from the centre of town which is cool! Queenstown is a lovely town surrounded by the most amazing landscape. All I have to do is look out my window and I can see the lake and surrounding mountains!

Here’s some photos!
