Wait, does this mean I have a life?

Well, it certainly has been a while hasn't it?

Currently, I am on my dad's Blackberry. I am sitting in the cafe at the Snowbird ski resort in Utah. While I wait for my family to get off that horrid tram, let me tell you about Utah.

It is July. It is hot. In California, there are about 1200 forest fires. But it's not really all that hot. When crossing the Sierras, the smoke was so thick it was like fog. Jeez.

Here, it is about 96 degrees indoors. Dx

In Utah, the main roads are enclosed in ads. Billboards, banners, electric signs... It is ridiculous. The most common are ads against drunk driving and ads for laser hair removal clinics.

Majority of the population is Mormon.

The mountainsides are covered in developments. Land is cheap so the houses are big and gorgeous. But, they are building the houses faster than people are moving into them! So there are tons of empty houses just sitting there.

We got there late Saturday. On Sunday we just hung out. But Monday... Oh, god.

We went to This Is The Place, or whatever it is called. It is the first place the Mormon settlers lived. There is a little reenactment town now. We went there to see a show... That should have been a warning. But no, we climbed up into the social hall, greeted the gay Mormon boy, and were crushed into the wall by dozens of Mormon children.

The show? Horrific.

These four young adults, wearing shiny shirts, jumped out. They sang. One of the girls kept on tripping. They sang the history of Utah. And they came into the audience.

I was unfortunate enough to be sitting on the aisle. So the scary Justin Timberlake look alike attacked me during the opening number.

Well, not so much attacked me as shook my hand.

They sang. Justin changed on stage. The girl fell down the stairs. And they did a Mormon Tabernacle choir spoof that was pretty funny, I will admit it.

Oooh, we went to an aquarium on Sunday. I will just say that it took us thirty minutes to go through the whole thing. And that included buying tickets, petting the manta ray, and buying gum on the way out.

Tuesday... Was something. I cannot remember. Oh! We went to the movies. I saw Get Smart with my dad. It was funny. My mom and sister saw Wall-e.

Since our movie ended before Wall-e, we wandered around Thanksgiving Point. At 9 PM. There were a lot of people at the theater. I was wearing lolita (casual) and everyone I walked past looked at me strangely. At the grocery store and at the movies, I left a trail of stunned faces behind me. x3


Wednesday I went to the Hogle zoo. I have been there often, so it wasn't anything new. Well, there was an albino alligator. They said that anyone who looks into its eyes is granted good luck for the year. And guess who got a glimpse? Hopefully it will help out in Japan.

I like the red panda.

There was a 30 year old monkey. He was almost like a lizard. Or a dinosaur. It was gross.

Yesterday we went up to a cave. It was a 1.5 mile hike. But it was over 100 degrees. With little shade. Straight uphill.

I did not make it. I headed back down and spent the afternoon in the air conditioned ranger station.

Apparently the cave was really cramped, so I would not have enjoyed it.

And today... We are at the lodge. It is hot, yet sprinkling on and off.

When I get home Saturday (or Sunday, depending on how late) I will post up a bunch of new dubs. =3

I have a lot to record. xD
