The Big LAN

Here are a few pictures I took at the LAN. Like I said, this wasn't for photographic purposes, but none the less, here are some photos. It was a great LAN... slow to start, but a great turn out. 8 v 8 with one sub. We played Halo 1 on 360s but it wasn't too bad. There was some lag, especially during slayer, but it wasn't nearly as bad during Capture the Flag, which is basically all we played.

My team may have lost, but it was still a good time had by all. You will be happy to note, that as the sole female in the LAN, I was not required to use the cardboarded bathroom pictured below.

Dogs, dogs, dogs!

Well, actually there are only two dogs in these photos!

Here are some pictures of Dimi and our neighbour Sam. We watched him over the weekend... well not last weekend, the one before that. Halloween weekend! (That's the one).

My weekend in Ottawa was great. I'll get up some pictures from the LAN. Though, admittedly, I wasn't trying to be a photographer at that event, however there are still a couple of pictures I'd like to share.

For now, please enjoy the cuteness of these dogs. And note the smile on Sam (Yorkshire Terrier)'s face... very cute.

Finally some Halloween shots!

So, I am going to Ottawa this weekend. There is a BIG Halo LAN tomorrow... BIG LAN.

As such, you will likely not hear from me, your beloved blogger, because my parents have dial-up and the pain is just too much to bear.

So, here are some pictures I took this Halloween. My brother and his fiancee were in town, so there was lots of fun to be had.

This weekend, I will be working on my first assignment for Photography 3. I am very excited about it. I think I'm going to learn a lot from this exercise.

Oh, and I should mention. It was my birthday Wednesday and my WONDERFUL, AMAZING, SUPERB husband bought me some camera gear (he's so amazing). So, now I have a remote shutter release and a polarized filter! :D Oh the fun to be had. I am bringing them with me this weekend.

p.s. my amazing husband also made me a delicious cake from scratch! He's so sweet.

Congrats America!

On making the right choice!

And a record turn out for voting!

Woo Hoo!

More pictures to come soon.

America Votes!

Well, to all my American visitors: Happy Voting Day.

Earlier this week I watched Slackers Uprising by Michael Moore. It is available as a free upload for US and Canadian citizens. It was okay. Not his best. Though I could be saying that because even as a Canadian I feel bombarded with all this election talk. Heroes wasn't on last night because of an SNL Presidential special. It's all over the Canadian news, radio, and the Internet. Let's hope that its as inescapable to the American people as it is for the Canadian.

Well, vote wisely my American friends... vote wisely.

Seriously, this is allowed?

So, I came across this truck today on my way home from School on St. Clair East. They were doing work in the mall. Seriously... who knew the Canadian Government would permit this title... seriously...

I don't even know what to think of it.
