The Seattle Drizzle

Sometimes being a full time student who works on weekends can be cruel! By today last year, Seattle had 20 days that were sunny and above 60 degrees. This year, we've had one and that was last Saturday. One day to soak up some good sun and get that valuable vitamin D. But where was I? At the shopping mall, in my dark store, working. Then what does the weather hold for the next week?? Perhaps it's finally spring and the good weather is coming!

I guess not :(

But on the bright side I did get my seadoo launched and ready to go. Even took it for a spin around the lake, but it was super cold and I was in a thick jacket.

I also got some spend some quality time around the fire with my friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Weekend of Disney Classics

Well last weekend I was incredibly swamped with homework and real work. I was able to meet up with a few friends on friday night, but Saturday and Sunday were booked. I only had a few hours here or there for breaks, so relaxing to a good movie or two was optimal. However I was unsure of what to watch (I've seen everything).

I decided to go with a classic Disney movie. Disney has been making a big effort in re-releasing it's old classics in the new 1080p BlueRay format, and I must say that watching Aladdin in 1080p was just stunning. Not only was it great to see this movie for the first time in many many years, but it was also like seeing a bran new movie. I noticed so many small details in the cartoon that I never had seen before on my VHS tape player. I finished the weekend off by watching Beauty and the Beast, but that one wasn't in 1080p. I really want to get around to watching The Jungle Book soon as well.

If you are looking for a great movie experience I really recommend purchasing an old Disney Classics on DVD or BlueRay and reliving some memories. They really are quality films, and worthy of being watched by adults too.

We Needed Some Sun!

At the mine Museum

This last weekend a few friends and I were fed up with all the rain in western Washington, so we decided to take a 5 hour drive over to Winthrop and stay at my families vacation home. As expected the weather was fantastically dry and the sun was out to play! On saturday we spent the majority of the day walking around downtown Winthrop, shopping at the little trinket stores and exploring the mine museum. We finished the day off by grabbing some grub and beers at the brewery in town. Just as we were leaving on Sunday, the rain began to fall. What perfect timing! If you've never been to Winthrop it is a very friendly town with lots to explore. http://www.winthropwashington.com/
