More skiing, treasure fingers

Went to Crystal with Tu. Had a terrible time with my new boots. Feet kept going numb, my quads were burning from being in a prolonged squat position. I was definitely doing something wrong this time because I've never been this sore skiing- but it could be because I'm off the bunny hill now.

Saw Treasure Fingers- a DJ I didn't really know but friends knew of. Non stop house music. Too much 128bpm for my tastes but still had fun.

New window office at work, and more screens/2nd computer. Colleague left and I need to use her computer to do her work. Super busy at work lately.

Last few months I been paying more attention to watches. Made me think about how my brothers were (and still are) into watches when I was a kid. I would run up to my brother Kam and spin his dive watch bezel and run away giggling. Doesn't help that my friend Tu is into watches too- information and material desire overload- reminds me of when I was into joysticks. I settled on a Seiko automatic and a G-Shock. Great bang for the buck on the Seiko ~$150

4th Time Skiing

Went to Stevens Pass with Peter, Kat, and Justin on Friday. Took another lesson and it really started to come together for me. 'Attack' the mountain, move the edging leg forward, press into the cuff, load and unload weighting through the turns, and more. Carl the instructor said I need to learn to do pole planting next.

Got some new gear this time. I really like the REI Triad Parka and Swix Split-Mitten gloves.

More ski

Went skiing with Kevin Quan and his friends to Stevens Pass. Took another lesson and it really started to come together: keeping the feet together, weight forward, press into the cuffs, moving the turning foot forward, stand up right, etc. Can't wait to go again.
