Last night:
Finally went to a house party. Yey. It was in the area of town they call the ghetto. Don't know why, its actually pretty nice in the ghetto, I felt comfortable.
It was in employee housing called joaquin (pronounced whakeen) and the fine issue was avoided as it is managed by a member of mountain security and he was at the party handing out tequila shots.
We met someone from the ice rink and he told us that mammoth ice rink team was putting on a production of Grease on Ice and he was playing John Travoltas part.
Then we went to La Sierra's the dingy bar with pool tables and foose ball that often has serial killer types with cowboy hats sitting at the bar.
Claire played pool with these guys and kicked their arses. She made a joke about them being a couple and the guy cracked at her saying he was born and bred in mammoth and there is no way he was ever a ******* *** . Claire got scared and wouldnt play anymore.
Got home at 2 and fell asleep on the couch with my contacts in. Woke up at 5 30 and my eyes were stuck together. Had to leave for work at 7:30. Consequently didnt feel like going riding today and have already broken my vow to go out every day.
One of the instructors came to me today with a scrappy piece of paper in hand and asked me if I would type it up for him. Apparently it was a contract between his housemates and him about the car they share and who's responsibility it is to look after it and pay for repairs in various situations. For example, he made a clause
" If one of the above mentioned owners takes the vehicle out of mammoth lakes juristriction and damage is caused by unforseeable circumstances out of said persons control then said person must pay any additional costs due to the car being out of mammoth lakes juristriction (such as towing) but other costs for repair will be split between all owners"
Said contract was two pages of similar hypothetical situations.
I couldnt read his writing and he told me they wrote it when they were drunk. I said i wouldnt type it but he could use the computer in my office. He typed it up and made my friend ali witness it.
This afternoon Dermot Mulroney came in and bought a ski lesson for his son. If you dont know who he is then here is his shrine:

Australia Day in Mammoth.
Australia Day was also super bowl day so there was a lot of potential for a big one.
Mammoth police recognised this potential and issued a warning.
Any required attendance of police at employee housing due to party complaints will result in a $250 fine for the tennents and a $250 fine for the mountain as well.
Mammoth mountain recognised this potential and issued a warning.
If the mountain recieves a fine for parties being held in employee housing at least one tennent will be evicted and the fine will be deducted from wages.
We had a bbq then went to three parties, all of which were broken up by housing security within 5 minutes of us arriving.
Tonight there is another party, we plan to get there early. ¶ 5:55 AM 0 comments

I just went down my first black run. I took another lesson, I was a little out of my depth but I am still alive. We practiced:
ollies
180 type things
carving
went in a sort of natural halfpipe
blackruns
healtoeing on flat bits
The hardest and most scary part was the flat bits. It is very difficult to ride a snowboard on flat runs. I stacked it and hurt my butt. My butt hurts alot right now. I cant do flat bits, but I can do steep bits good.
Apart from boarding, havent been doing much. Except we went to the pub after work last night and they were promoting the premeire of the Ali G show. There was a gold limo parked out front and then in the pub there were two guys dressed in orange velour tracksuits with lots of chains and sunglasses on. One was djing and the other rapping. They rapped about Claire:
and over there, with a beautiful stare
sits a blonde, drinking red wine
lookin so fine
Then they gave us ali G chains and ali G gogle cleaning cloth.

I just took another snowboard lesson. I have been doing it all wrong and my bindings were all set up wrong. I had to re learn everything, but my instructor was really good. He said I just need to:
"Imagine you have a beach ball between your knees and you are reaching for a pint of lager"
And he was right, I have much more control now. Yey.
However I did catch an edge and stack it pretty bad and now I can't straighten my elbow. But it was still sick. ¶ 9:49 AM 0 comments

Oh my, oh my, I just took the gondola to the very top of the mountain!
I dont understand how people ski/board off something sooo steep. It is like vertical, and mogley too.
I will never be able to do that. I was shitting myself even in the gondola. ¶ 7:58 AM 0 comments

Ate sushi last night, it was delicious, then listened to 40yrld botox women sing bad bad bad karaoke.
Friends sang:
SuperStar - by the carpenters "baby baby baby baby oh baby"
You've got that lovin fellin - from topgun soundtrack
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
None of these were sung well but the botox women acted as dancing girls and groupies. One flashed her breast and it was commented that more botox may be a good thing.

A run down brought to you by Claire
HIGHLIGHT - Strutting down the red carpet into the Chinese Theatre … Press & Paparazzi were lined up against banisters all vying(sp?) for a photo of all the famous people attending the launch. We felt very special.
MOST FAMOUS PERSON ATTENDING - probably Jerry O’Connell (it wasn’t a very famous affair).
OTHER SEMI FAMOUS PEOPLE ATTENDING - the other two leads (Estella Warren & Anthony Anderson), cute black guy from CSI, Crossing Jordon cast, other B-graders from various TV Sitcoms
WORST OUTFIT – Jerry O’Connell in his usual number; White tucked-in T-Shirt, faded jeans & white Adidas trainers A.K.A Jerry Seinfield
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT – When the big fat & very loud US Production Accountant (Gloria) stood up in a packed cinema and shouted across to Michael Shannon (one of the lead actors) who was sitting on the opposite side of the theatre in the VIP area “Michael Shannon, Michael Shannon, look who’s here .. it’s our Aussie friends … Stand Up girls, Stand Up girls … let him see you … “
BIGGEST CRINGE – when in the movie the kangaroo (jack) breaks into a rap ‘I say a hip hop a hippety hop’
2ND BIGGEST CRINGE – Estella Warren
3RD BIGGEST CRINGE – All the girls at the after-party who had wangled an invite somehow who were obviously there to attract the attention of a Bruckheimer producer … tiny outfits, stripper like dancing .. anything to get the attention of producers who obviously loved that they were trying to get their attention ...
MOST TRAGIC – One of the lovely Australian actors from the movie (who has post shoot made his way over to Hollywood to try and crack the big time) was there trying very hard to impress L.A. producers … he was accompanied by this freakoid of a woman wearing false eyelashes, giant flowers in her hair and lots of gold crosses who was so so in your face and claiming to be his ‘Publicist’. The poor boy has been totally sucked in by her and the whole Hollywood scene that he actually seems to have gone mad … an intervention and a one-way flight home to Sydney is required.
AFTER PARTY ENTERTAINMENT – girls in camel mini-skirts, cowboy hats & kangaroo jack T-Shirts dancing to “I say a hip hop a hippety hop”
AFTER PARTY NIBBLES – bad macaroni cheese, bad hamburgers, bad caesar & bad soggy chicken wings (according to Dayle) … bad bad bad
BEST EFFORT AWARe lead actors) who was sitting on the opposite side of the theatre in the VIP area “Michael Shannon, Michael Shannon, look who’s here .. it’s our Aussie friends … Stand Up girls, Stand Up girls … let him see you … “

The movie wasnt any good, but claire was in the credits.
They used alot of unecessary cgi stuff, like putting this massive three tier waterfull in coober pedy.
Then we went to the after party. There were a few celebs there, the guy from csi, the dad from full house, a star from grease, a few others that i recognised but i dont know from where.
Talked to a few really annoying people. The stereotypical hopeful actors/actresses/directors were out in force. They talk about themselves and name drop excessively. Me, claire and amy just nodded and moved away.
They had jugglers and dancers and snakes and kangaroo petting and fairy floss and games and kangaroo ears for everyone. It was fun.

Saturday 11th
Went to breakfast at the diner. What are grits? Kate didnt know. Apparently there used to be toasters on every table and you made your own toast. But not anymore.
Then we went shopping and bought supplies that are unavailable in mammoth such as asian food and decent italian stuff. I also found milo! in the bankok market?
Then we went home and got ready to go to the premiere.
Running a little late so kate offered to drive us there. The premiere was at The Chinese Theatre on hollywood blvd. That is where the accademy awards are held. We approach hollywood and there are signs saying hollywood blvd is closed. We all get excited cause we know it is closed for the premiere. Kate heard that there was going to be a kangaroo race for promotion and that they had been training kangaroos for 6 months.
We got there and there was a big crowd. The red carpet was out and there were kangaroos and camels, but they werent racing. we walked through the crowd and saw the stars of the movie doing publicity, but we couldnt figure out how to get in. Then we realised we had to walk the red carpet.
So we got on the carpet, stoped for photos with the kangaroos, mingled with the stars and the paparatzi and made our way into the theatre.

Im still sick, but no more vomit.
Went to la for the premiere of "Kangaroo Jack" slogan "He's got the money, and he isn't giving it back.."
We stayed with some friends called Kate and John. They are very nice people. They live in a house on a hill in Echo Park, LA. They have a 'darling' house.
On friday night they took us out. We went to this french bar/cafe with minimal signage but it was the first good food i have eaten since ive been here. This was a good thing considering it was the first food i had eaten in about 48hrs. It was also the first place I didnt get asked for I.D. Then we went to a bar down the road.
None of the bars and clubs here have signs. Apparently it is cool to just know the spots to go. So the bar we went to was just this big yellow wooden door on an unmarked building. Along the way, Kate pointed out many other dodgy looking doors that contain bars and clubs.
It was really dark inside and looked like a typical american bar. The bartenders free pour and Claire was paro off of 3 drinks. Kate hates jazz music and so goes to the juke box to change the music and some annoying girl at the bar tries to put more jazz on and the bar tender bans her from the juke box. The annoying girl is sitting at the bar with an open script in front of her. Kate comes back and tells us about the annoying girl.
Kate and John got married recently and on their wedding cd put a song by the cars. John wanted to put the sex pistols on it but then had a rethink.
You cant smoke inside anywhere in california so people take shifts to going outside to the smoking patio for a cigarette. The security guard asks claire for one but she doesnt understand him. It is so dark in the bar that when he goes back to his post, you cant see him.
We go home. Claire cant lay down cause she's dizzy. I get the best nights sleep ever.

Today, Sunday 5th.
Things not mentioned in previous posts that could have been:
My friend Morenna from work got arrested on new years eve and spent the night and the next day in jail.
Amy thinks Kid Rock is cute?
There was a storm the other day and it was so cold and snowing so hard that when i walked to the bus stop I nearly fainted cause i couldnt breath. It was like i was hyperventilating because the air was so cold.
I really miss milo and the cheese here is bright orange.
Making conversations:
"So are you here on holidays?"
"We here in america dont take holidays, we bust loose"

Saturday the 4th
Busy in day care. 12 babies, less tears than Friday. My back hurts from picking them up. Some of them are really heavy.
Met Claire and Amy after work for drinks. Claires boss is sometimes mean to her.
Amy's advice - dont take that shit from her claire, stand up for yourself. She is not worth it.
Dayle's advice - be really really nice to her until she has to be nice.
Went home and decided to go to Shogun's for weekly karaoke.
Tina sang 'fever' and 'sweet child of mine'.
Claire's boss went crazy and tried to glass this guy. She suddenly got up and swang at the guy sitting behind her. Then poured hot sake on him and then beer and any other drinks that were in her reach. Then her friend Brittney got her out of there before she did something really bad. The guy was freaking.
I think my advice is better than amy's.

Busy in day care. 12 babies, less tears than Friday. My back hurts from picking them up. Some of them are really heavy.
Met Claire and Amy after work for drinks. Claires boss is sometimes mean to her.
Amy's advice - dont take that shit from her claire, stand up for yourself. She is not worth it.
Dayle's advice - be really really nice to her until she has to be nice.

Friday the 3rd
Busy in day care. 12 babies, lots of tears.
Got home around 6 and then Tina came in at about 605 clutching her wrist which had something sticking out in the wrong place.
Tooks some frozen peas and walked to the hospital which it turns out is a couple of blocks away. Tina knows this because 3 weeks ago she broke a rib from coughing too hard.
The emergency room at the hospital was the place to be. There were 3 people sitting with weird looking wrist injuries, 3 women with shoulder injuries and 3 with knee injuries all sitting in the hall way with ice packs and some in gowns.
Waiting Patiens: "Snowboarding or skiing?"
Tina: "Actually I fell on the ice infront of the Supermarket"
Waiting Patients: "oooooo" in a sympathetic tone
Tina: "How long have you been here"
Waiting Patients: "About 4 hours"
The radiologist came to do xrays and she was wearing ski pants.
The doctor came to put the cast on and he was wearing ski pants and a fleece.
Four hours later, Tina had been diagnosed with a broken wrist and had been put in a cast.

Thursday the 2nd
Huti got up at 6:30 am and made herself cheeseburger from scratch and then went back to bed.
Went snow boarding on Thursday. I can now do intermediate runs. I got new bindings:
Guy who sold me the bindings was such a stereo type.
My sister went for a lesson and was put in the level "Mountain Masters". Im still in level 4, but one day.....

Wednesday the 1st
Decided that seeings new years eve was a bummer I had better rectify the situation on new years day night.
Me, tina, huti, gill and greg (tinas mates) went to La Sierra's:
We all got ID'd except Huti who is by far the youngest.
Huti, our newzealand house mate, couldnt believe that there was a concrete floor.
I couldnt believe how crappy the foos ball table was.
Huti didnt want to go to the bar yet managed to get a lot of beverages.
Tina and friends have started using the word "Heaps" and I have started using the word "Hella"
I am also trying to incoorporate "dang" into my vocab but have used it inappropriately a few times.
Tina and friends now understand the meaning of the word fanny and use it more than ever.
Americans all listen to hip hop and they dance in one of two styles - dirty dancing style or hommie style ¶ 11:02 AM 0 comments

New Years 02/03
Claire and I hitched a ride home on the 30th and the guys that picked us up worked in the bar on the mountain. They told us that the bar, called the Yodler, was having a huge party with a dj from LA and everybody who's anybody was going.
Reality
It took us an hour and a half to get there.
There was a lot of bowtox (sp) in the house.
A woman spat up on Claires back.
We left at 12.30
