What? It's September already? What happened to August? I guess I've been really busy. Haven't updated this site for over a month! Jeeez. Well, school just started on Wednesday, and it's actually going pretty well. Got to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while. I'm taking three courses, and this is also my LAST semester! Yeah that's right! Not really sure what I'm going to do afterwards. Meh, I still have four months to figure something out. But anyways, My summer was pretty rocking. Got to do quite a bit of things, so lets get to the details shall we?

July 28, 2007

Still keeping busy busy with school and I don't know what else, but somehow I'm still keeping really busy, but I was able to squeeze in some good times in there. Well, except for the whole Peter getting into a motorcycle accident. But hey, I have pictures!

And somehow I missed an event. It was May 30th when Mollie and I went on a picnic.

Anyways, hope you're all having a wicked summer!

 

July 10, 2007

It's been pretty busy lately. Mostly going out and testing out my new camera. Still need to learn a few more things on it, but other than that, I'm loving it so far. Lots of stuff going on, and more to come!

Lets have a look at the list of things to do in the summer... Shall we?

- Vans Warped Tour
- Canada Day on the Mainland
- Seattle
- Paintballing - July 28th AND end of August sometime
- **Camping - first weekend of September?
- **Roadtrip to California - Aug 21st - 26th?

Look at the calendar fill up... Looks like a few extra last minute events got squeezed in there...

 

June 27, 2007

So I bought a Canon PowerShot A570 IS the other day, and so I went out and took some pictures to test out the new camera, and I think I'm pretty happy with it so far. There's the adventures:

Jun 23, 2007 -- Peter came over for the weekend.
Jun 25, 2007 -- Mollie and I just hanging out in Sidney.

 

June 20, 2007

So here I am updating my site again. And ummm I'm still busy! But hey, at least so far this summer is pretty rockin'! Here's a list of all the craziness:

Jun 15 - 17, 2007 -- Trip to the mainland Part 1, 2, and 3.
Jun 19, 2007 -- Mollie and I found a secret garden!

On a side note. I thought it'd be a good idea to drop my camera onto the concrete the other day. Hah. Guess it didn't survive the fall. Busted the lens part of it. So you know what that means?? A new camera! Time to go shopping around. Well, my old camera (Nikon Coolpix 3100) served me for 3.5 years ish, and took well over 7500 pics. This camera has lasted me since the birth of this website. RIP 2004 - 2007.

And another random note. I was reading Shannon's awesome t-shirt, and this is seriously the best haiku EVER!

Haikus are easy.
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

 

June 12, 2007

So why is it that I'm only taking one course, and yet I'm still keeping busy? I just don't understand how these things work out! Well, June has been a pretty good month so far.... I think. Just taking it easy, going out with friends, and having fun.

June 6 -- My brother has his masters in computer science! WHAT?!
June 8 -- Social Code concert @ Legends!

And the summer list is slowly getting bigger! Here's how it's looking now. Some of the ideas are uncertain at the moment. They're just spontaneous ideas:
- Vans Warped Tour - July 3rd
- Canada Day on the Mainland - July 1st
- Seattle - July 2nd
- Paintballing - July 28th AND end of August sometime
- **Camping - first weekend of September?
- **Quick trip to California (depending on how much money I have. It'd go down in late August though)
- Incubus concert - Aug 20th
- **China Beach and/or French Beach and/or Mystic Beach
- **Deftones concert? - July 9th

** means "might be happening"... Kinda in the works right now.
