I See You There…

I haven’t forgotten about this place! It is just that I haven’t done anything interesting, or I think interesting that warrants an update. I swear I’m going to work on my photography blog thing because what a waste if I don’t! I should make a landing page too if I’m going to have more than one thing on this domain.

Or do people not do landing pages anymore? I will need to reroute the blog to a separate page then. Hmm.

The last time I updated my Movies page was at Terminator 2! That was at movie 71. Now it’s up to movie 86! I am watching a movie after this blog entry and hopefully a few more of those Futurama movies will bump me to up 90 soon. At least I know I will make it to 100 movies this year, after trying to reach that mark for so many years!

At this point I’m just looking to going back to school. I can’t believe my summer break is finally almost over. It will be nice getting back to a normal routine. I’m just not looking forward to waking up at 6:30 when it’s still freakishly dark outside.

Before that, I still have a Vancouver Canadians (baseball) game to go to, grabbing my U-Pass and new Student ID, and a Photo-Walk with my tweeps! Despite my hermit-like state this summer, I actually did a lot of things with my parents and friends. Maybe I’ll do a recap thing in the near future to celebrate the Summer Break of 2011.

I seriously still can’t believe there was a person up at that sign. I didn’t even notice until I put up the picture on Flickr and started typing in the comment box. Where was I during the editing process?

PS: And now it’s 87 movies since I re-watched Jeux d’enfants (Love Me if You Dare) between starting this post, editing and uploading photos onto Flickr, and finishing this post.

Getting Tricked by the Weather

Vancouver is going through a weird weather phase: one day it’s sunny and warm, the next is cloudy and chilly. Yesterday, I headed out to downtown Vancouver to watch the Vancouver Canucks take on the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. I got there quite early (2:30) for a 5 o’ clock start. It’s interesting to see the streets fill up with people, especially when it’s a weekday and most people have to work.

CBC Vancouver, as usual, was doing coverage for the pre-game show. They kept talking about how nice the weather was, with the warm sun beaming down on them. We were all watching it on the big screen… while we were in the shade behind the Vancouver Public Library building. We were shivering from the wind and staring enviously at them a few feet away from us in the sun. It is definitely not warm enough to be wearing just a t-shirt and jeans all day out.

A dog came by to say hi after he (or she?) smelled my friend eating his delicious sandwich. This turned out to be my photo of the day. (After I failed at Project 365 – where you take a picture a day from January 1st, I decided to start in June since I have more time now that I have summer off.) You can check out the rest of the series here.

Sadly, the outcome didn’t favour my team again this time around. Since I am only going to be there for Game 5 and not the rest of the series, I feel like I lost interest in the series to a certain degree. Since the game start at 5pm, I don’t know if I will be able to catch it on TV on the cruise, especially since I don’t know what I will be doing then. I might be off the boat!

I even checked how expensive internet and WI-FI will be in the cruise. It’s around 70 dollars. Yeah, I’m not that desperate.

Counting down to the Alaskan Trip!
