Ascending

I have finally got a good nights sleep. I am right now in vancouver with folks and have been shopping with my cousin for the last couple of days. Its been awesome.

Pics are on the way. I just discovered that all my pictures from Zurich have been wiped out by my SD card f**king up. I am pretty po-ed .... but hey, I might as well go back and do it all over again. Poor me.

Breaking news as well. I figured I couldn't sleep because I have suddenly lost all meaning in life. I have had insomnia for 3 months now. I think it was a mini mid-life crisis. I have now decided that I want to climb Everest. I am also quite disgusted that there is some sort of singaporean girl team that wants to do the same in 2009, but hopefully they won't get funding.

HAH. I am definitely biased but at least I can afford my trip. Cop outs. Sponsorship is the easy way out. Think about it. If Gilette sponsored a trip which failed, it would be bad PR. Securing a brand sponsorship is just as good as getting a michelin restaurant to make a sloppy joe.

Fine. I am jealous . I am effing peeved. I thought of the idea and was musing about it when manda told me there was a team in attempt. It broke my heart and then got my scheming how I could somehow undermine their expedition. For right now though, I hope they fall over their blahniks and DIE. The only comfort I have is that they'll be climbing with each other, and personally, I'd hate to climb with other women. Imagine a b**ch fest, but really cold.

Either way, I want to head to Everest. I don't sound the most noble right now, but I need something to look forward to. I have emailed an expedition house for a trip to Everest base camp this October.

For the GIRLS who are THINKING of climbing Everest next year..... Watch your backs.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
