No Celebrities, Just Plain'ol fun

Please keep an open mind about this blogpost because I will merely be sharing with you my experience that I had while I went trekking around Park City during Sundance (perhaps, just maybe, looking for all those famous people everyone is always going off about).

Anywho, I did not make this journey alone! I was accompanied by three of my very good friends (Picture below) who kept me well entertained and cheery while we walked up and down the very thin and very crowded sidewalks of Mainstreet. We searched up and down those sidewalks, in every crevice and alleyway we could find, just to get a glimpse of someone who may or may not have been famous, but after half an hour we gave up and decided to enjoy ourselves.

By going into every store we saw...

I should admit right now that we did get yelled at a few times to "NOT TOUCH ANYTHING!" because apparently nowadays browsing means that you must have your hands tied behind your back  and stand at a safe distance, which I guess is 5ft away from the actual shelf.

Left To Right: Anna, Me, Naomi (My friend Zizi had the camera).
After a few hours we ended up heading to Dolly's bookstore, where we stumbled upon this adorable pooch with the most piercing blue eyes I have ever seen in my life. I felt like that dog was staring into my soul and deciding my fate with his face! Okay, so that was worded a bit weird, but that's what it was like readers, you have no idea.

After I got through with the dog, however, my friends and I found ourselves rather hungry but sadly we were all broke, penniless, no money to spare, you know what I mean? Well through a little thing we like to call walking and talking, we ended up finding a place that was handing out free food.

The place was called Morning Star and they were trying to spread the message that vegetarian food is better for you and can taste good, therefor they were offering free vegetarian burgers to the public.

How could we say no?

With little less than a five minute wait, we were chowing down on some grade A vegetarian "meat" I suppose you would call it, and truth be told it wasn't half bad.

Dog with the eyes to the soul.

Well, I guess that's all I really have to say about that. I did end up seeing a few Sundance films and I must say that they were interesting, if not a little hard to follow. The free will and expressionism that comes with making a film for Sundance is absolutely astonishing. If those artists want to spread a message of view they know exactly how to do it and aren't afraid to say what they want to say.

Well alas this post has come to the end and I shall end by saying that if you have never been to the Sundance Film Festival, it is a must try thing that should be experienced once in your life.

Snow, Why Do You Torture Me So?!?

I know, I know, who am I to judge the snow, and accuse it of torture, right?

You may say that it's all pure and innocent, and gorgeous, but, you're wrong! Wrong I say! For one thing, it just lays around, blocking driveways and making driving considerably dangerous and heart pounding. I think I about died coming down the road from the house, which, I might add, is up in the middle of nowhere with the mountain people and maybe even the Blair Witch. In town, with the normal people, we got maybe three inches of snow at tops, yet somehow at my house the snow came up to my knees, and I actually had to trudge just to get into my car.

I don't know about you, but trudging isn't a word I use lightly. To me, trudging is not being able to pick up your feet and getting your socks soaked through to the bone; I think I might actually have frostbite on my toes. Not my favorite thing in the world.



Why?

Why can't we just live in a very happy, snow-free world? 

Okay, so maybe not completely snow-free, but couldn't we just have a designated snow zone. Then maybe, just maybe, keep everywhere else dry and tolerable. Think of it this way, a place where it snows all year around, and if you're a big skier, you can go to said zone while people like me stay happily warm and frost-bite free.

That's asking a lot, I am aware, but you can't judge me (maybe you can, but you shouldn't) because I'm sure there is something out there you hate as much as I hate snow. Forget the fact that at this very moment, while I write this, there is almost a white-out happening just outside my window, or that I have to walk out in this mayhem of a blizzard.

Forget that, what I am saying is that the snow and I don't and never will get along.....EVER!
