Packing up for Špindlerův Mlýn

Hey for the last time before the trip. I understand it`s nothing big but for me it is huge. It`s my first trip to Czech Republic, my first trip to the mountains, the longest trip by car so far etc.

We`re leaving in eight and a half hours and the stuff isn`t completely packed yet. But before that I decided to put some pics of the newest inventory parts and the route we're going to take :)

  • Powerslide butt protection;
  • Salice goggles with antifog double lenses;
  • Pro tec wrist guard;
  • Rossignol hat;
  • Route from Vilnius to Špindlerův Mlýn;

A student...for the 3rd time

Hey!

You know what? I`m a student again!!! :)

Regular people can`t even imagine what it feels like, but I do now. I couldn`t say its the best feeling. I couldn`t even say it`s a positive feeling. But..."Once you pop you can`t stop" :) Moreover on that comming soon.

Last Sunday I got myself a mini remote controlled helicopter, but it broke down the first day. And I was really surprised when I could return it without any troubles at all. I got all my money back and I didn`t even have to wait in a line for too long or to do many explanations. Thank you, MAXIMA.

The toy was quite fun, but I came to a conclusion: you have to pay more than 100 Lt. for a remote controlled flying toy...

Me and my roommate Giedrius are planing our snowboarding trip to the Spindleruv Mlyn. Today I took a pink marker and highlighted all the path we gonna take on the paper map. It comes to something around 1000 kilometers. And...we gonna have to come back to this subject later, when I`ll have something more to say.

My coworker Mantas told me about this new software piece called Windows Live Writer. Its a great tool for posting to your blog on most of the popular blogging systems. This post is also a test for hat program :)

And, finally, something really funny I saw today. The "American beauty" movie in five seconds:

New year, new hopes, new environment

Hey, everyone!!!
Happy new year. I wish you all could say that was the best year of your life so far at the end of 2008. That`s what I said to myself after last year. Especially when during the last days enough snow fell out to start snowboarding!!!
It was like a miracle to wake up one morning and find lots of snow outside. And also a sign to get snowboarding gloves and a case for the board. Me, my girl and a friend were expecting to go to Eglukalns (www.sventesegles.lv) in Latvia for a ride, but they weren`t opened yet. So we decided to go check a skiing hill in Anyksciai. It wasn`t bad at all except for the number of people.
Then my dad got a donor kidney so he went to the hospital in Kaunas as soon as possible. I didn`t want my mom to celebrate new year alone so I went to visit her again with my girl, her dog and my sister. We didn`t drink much so we`d be in good shape next day for...snowboarding!!! :) And this time there were only few skiers so we didn`t have to wait in lines for too long and everything was simply amazing. There was one more snowboarding day in the place I mentioned before - Eglukalns. this year it`s much better than last and that was probably the best snowriding ever for me. Well...at least till the trip to Czech (more on this subject when i`ll come back).
Here`s the stuff I appended my snowboard equipment with:

The next amazing thing that happened just after the new year celebration is that we moved to a new office!!! Now we have lots of space, high-speed internet, huge windows, AC`s etc. at work. Moreover it takes less than 10 minutes to go there or back home by car. And that`s what our office looks like or what we can see through its windows:
