[Last Bit of the Season]

Second last wedding of the season and first engagement of the year! We shot some photos down Stanley Park for Jenny and Steeve's wedding.

Followed by engagement photos. Megan and Jon are getting married! :)

Wish we had a bit more time though.

Partied at the Alpen Club in Burnaby.

[Spandy Andy]

If you have lived in Vancouver since February 2010 when the Olympics were going on, you should know who Spandy Andy is. The first I recall seeing this guy was down at English Bay. He drives around a colourful neon scooter, wears spandex and carries around a boom box. He dances around in the street, at the beach as well as while riding his scooter!

[50 Cent Piece]

I was digging through my wad of change one day at work to get something to drink and found a coin which originally I thought was a toonie but found that it wasn't quite as big as one however stood out larger than a quarter. Alas! A 50 cent coin! :O !!! I've never ever seen one before!

[Chocolate Mask]

Felt like squishy chocolate, smelled like chocolate... definitely didn't look like chocolate. TK if you're reading, this is what the mask you got me looks like. :P

[My Mini Diana]

My collection of plastic cameras is growing! I haven't seen any of the photos Diana has produced just yet but I can't wait! She shoots square and half frames. :D

[Choux]

Choux is very calm and usually gets pushed around my Moo Moo. But she's also kind of like mom. She grooms Moo Moo all the time and cleans out the house to make sure it's comfy. She closes her eyes when approaching my hand to get food then snatches from me!

[Part of the Company]

Telus commercials are pretty well known to everyone in Canada. Their colours are white, green and that deep purplish blue that apparently no one else can use.

Their commercials are usually extremely cute and involve animals but often times it's hard to really tell why they picked certain animals.

Their newest ad is for Optik TV so wherever you look, on bus stops, busses, billboards, there's this lion cub.

Today I caught this commercial on our tv at work and I was excited to see that Telus had finally switched to another ad....... Then I realized that.. It was totally making fun of the company! But even though their animals don't really advertise certain services, it's not hard for someone to just know that it's Telus by the style of the video...

[Bye!]

My Rebel Xsi has taken so many photos for me! And now that I have a new one, I must say bye! :( The thought of selling it just makes me sad! The thought of someone else's grimy fingers smudging gross germs over the shutter button... or their face grease all over the screen! GAH!

I decided that Jo Jo should have it so she can start taking some nice photos. She totally should get something way smaller, but maybe she'll do good with the Rebel. :)

[Cyclists]

In Vancouver there are cyclists and people who commute using bicycles. Cyclists wear lycra shorts and matching lycra shirts, you can't call them spandex!

No one likes cyclists and commuters often get mistaken for cyclists. I don't see how hard it could be, we don't wear spandex! I mean lycra!

I remember being just a pedestrian and not liking cyclists either because they always zoomed right by and had no courtesy to slow down. Cyclists always almost hit you when they pass by. Recently, Ty and I have looked into getting bikes so that when we're out and about, we get around town a lot quicker so we see more. Makes sense! Rollerblading doesn't work coz I'd have to keep taking them off. Skating's a bit slow and dangerous. Cycling just seemed to make sense.

I pulled out the old bike from our shed, cleaned it up and put more air in the tires. Day one was a 5 hour long bike ride down Broadway to look at more bikes which then turned into a ride down the seawall at Stanley Park.

In that one day, I got honked at a couple times, I had people give me dirty looks and we had cyclists telling us we were going the wrong way.... the wrong way! On a BIKE PATH. Double you tee eff. Since when were there SO many rules for cycling. You can't cycle on the sidewalk, people get mad. You can't cycle on the road, the drivers get mad. You have to go the right way on a bike path or the cyclists get mad.

In the last couple of days, I've definitely worked out some muscles I haven't used in a looong time. My butt is sore, shoulders hurt from carrying a backpack for that long and my thighs throb and feel huge!

I'm rethinking this commuting on a bicycle deal. Maybe Ty will teach me how to long board. :P
