W00t! 200th post!
Wow, 200 posts. Didn't think that I would have ever had that much to say.
So it was a busy two weeks in Vancouver, running around seeing the people that I needed to see, getting taxes done, selling my soul to the Snap-on guy, and eating lots of sushi. The time went by really fast, hardly had time to see Marc and Julie and I was staying at their place!
The best result of my coming back to Vancouver for a visit was my new camera. Nikon D300 baby! What an instrument this is! It has me excited about taking photos again, and I have already fired off about 800 or more in the first three weeks owning it! I actually just got in from a short bike ride (have the bike working again, sort of...at least I can get into all the gears again, even if it misses one down-shifting) where I was out taking photos of fields of poppy's. I can see the fields from my apartment, all brilliant red, so I grabbed the camera and went to find them. Between sneezes (allergies again), I managed to get 55 photos taken of the fields. I just wish the sun was out a bit more to help with the lighting. It hasn't been the nicest weather this week.
It looks like my brother Allen will be able to come and visit me in July for about 10 days! I am really excited by this, since I will be able to show him around a bit. He probably won't have many chances in the future to travel to Europe, so I need to make sure that he sees lots and has a great time.
I am supposed to go to Paris with my friend Audrey in a few weekends, but I haven't seen her since I got back. I think that I could have a lot of fun there, specially with the new camera. Audrey wants to shop, but she also wants to show me around a bit, and since she knows the place really well, it will make it even more fun to avoid all the touristy bits. Now I just need to get a hold of her!
I also am supposed to see Alex, Leanne and the kids some time soon. Alex suggested the weekend of June 21st, but I will be working. Maybe the previous weekend to that.
So many things to do, and not enough time!
