So I'm giving people some options! You may click this cut and view 200 or so pictures in all their glory or you can head over to my scrapbook and browse yourself.

These pictures come from Gillian, Jason and Laura (Jason's girlfriend in case you didn't read the last post) so at times it'll be obvious which camera a certain picture came from.

( These pictures better work. There are about 200 )

( These are just a few of the many pictures that I have yet to receive... )

EDIT: Ok, so apparently you can't link pictures from Yahoo photo albums...
Go to my Yahoo! photo album to view some pictures.
I'll have to resize every single cursed picture (because all the pictures are like 3000x2500 resolution) if I want to fit them all into photobucket or the LJ scrapbook, so I may or may not do that at some later time ...

EDIT AGAIN: Just skip this entry and please see the next entry.

So what exactly do you call a party for a guy who is already married? I dunno...

( ...but there were pictures )

If it doesn't work, just use Gizoogle and translate your pages so you can better understand them.

So a certain someone (we'll call her Lien) was hating on Vietnamese food today. I expressed my love for my household/nationality food by saying that it was 'the best' (in the world? i think i just said the best). Then Lien jumps in and says no in that special way that makes me feel my opinion is wrong. So I know i was brought up in Canada and ate the foods here, hamburger...steak...potato, but I still like my own food the best (possibly cause I ate more of it when I grew up? maybe... since a lot of the food we eat is boring. But our cool stuff is awesome).

Just let me love my food and go ahead and love your meatballs in plum sauce or chicken in a too-strong teriyaki sauce. I could go on, but I've lost my momentum and have ceased to care about the subject at hand...

Current Mood: aggravated

After having joked with some friends about the new coffee "Instant Karma", I finally had a good cup early in the morning.

Instead of carpooling with dad,
took the car and realized my bad.
Saw that gas prices had gone up,
it tastes like Instant Karma in a cup.

Now I had many reasons to justify taking the car to work instead of hopping on the bike with my dad but I'm certain that none of you are interested in hearing my excuses for the destruction of our environment. It won't happen again!

Oh, and the ball used for Chinlone is called a cane ball. The internet has failed in finding me some.

Current Mood: annoyed

Could you pick me up one of these balls they use for Chinlone? I think Myanmar is in Burma...or it -is- Burma. I don't know geography.

Watch the highlight trailer because it's awesome.

I also went shopping for business type wear, and got some pants, a suit and a jacket. Probably the easiest shopping I've ever done with my parents...

Also, it's so hard to do these mood icon things... I can't imagine how flaxen_curls ever managed to do it for -all- of them!

Current Mood: happy

( I blab about my cousins )

Well, I've returned from a summery visit to Ontario to see my family.

I have pictures in a gallery.
I should start figuring out how to use the tags and picture stuff on this journal thing for when we start our journey to Japan journal.

Other than causing one of my cousins to cry a bunch of times in a few days and witnessing a display of public urination on the side of a building in Montreal, it was a regular family visiting time...

I was orignally only supposed to work for two months of the summer but my supervisor thinks this project is going somewhere good so I've stayed on for another month. I would rather figure out if  this can be done rather than take a month off anyway....

so I'm currently in 'wait till next week for someone to finish something for me before I can do anything' mode and I will take full advantage by watching Germany play Argentina today at noon. I've  been gripped by World  cup fever and the only cure is more World Cup.  I've been able to watch atleast a game and a half on weekdays when I work and every game on the weekends but now that it's down to elimination stages, the space between matches is unbearably long. Perhaps the fact that I'm taking part in this Fantasy team league is part of the reason for my enthusiasm. It's like a game, where I get points and numbers go up. It's basically my new World of Warcraft....

Yes, I do believe I'll just stop paying my subscription to WoW unless I find good reason to do so. Besides, I have so many other games to play...

Gillian and I took advantage of a super sale at Strange Adventures and bought ourselves (well, I bought it) a board game called Empire Builder. It's a game where you have a train and you can deliver goods to various cities in the US and the bottom of Canada and make money. Most importantly, you draw on the game board with crayon to mark your railways.
Thanks to Anna for mentioning the sale and to Anna and Micah for introducing us to the European version 'Eurorails'.
Currently I reign as regional champion having won both games I've played of either game.

So Micah and Anna are having their fake wedding  ceremony soon at which I may or may not be required to give some sort of speech. As of last week, I found out I won't be wearing a giant giraffe costume when I do so. Aside from that disappointing bit of news, I wonder if anyone has any interesting stories or tidbits about Micah I could use for the speech. I think it's a speech from me to the bride about the groom and I should be best qualified since i've known Micah for a long time, and I've told Anna pretty much all the bad stuff I know. So I ask if anyone else knows anything else?
Please post quietly as I wouldn't want Micah or Anna to overhear any of it.

My mom got her retirement gift yesterday which was a heavy 42' plasma TV. I do believe I deserve some usage time (Especially for World Cup Finals! ) for helping my dad carry it from the car to the living room and shuffling it around as we figured out where to put it. Now I just need one of those new HD gaming consoles. Where's the Wii?

Go Germany!!
