Reflections
I just got back in from a nice evening out at a friend's house, and I'm a bit tired. I was going to wait until the morning to write something, but now is probably as good as any.
Last night a bunch of us from work decided to get together and have a few beers. Unfortunately for me, a few beers turned into a pile of beers, a few rums, some wine, more rums, and finally some drunken blogging. All and all, a good night out, but I'm definitely getting too old to drink at that pace anymore. ... read more
Dreams
For some reason, I'm one of those people that rarely dreams. Or rather, I'm told, I rarely remember what it is I dream about, because apparently everyone dreams every night. Lately, I've found myself dreaming alot more. Sometimes the dreams are good, and I'm almost sad to wake up from them. But also, I've been having some nasty ones that I just can't seem to shake.
When I was a kid, I had a bunch of work done on my teeth. They pulled four out to make some room, added some weird device to the ... read more
Web Problems
So that stupid opacity problem has finally pissed me off enough to start to do something about it. There has to be a bug in my theme somewhere that's doing it, but I haven't been able to pinpoint it exactly. For now I'm switching to this theme, even thought it's a bit buggy too (it's only temporary)..
Actually, after disabling my theme and all plugins, the problem still exists in other themes.. I've only noticed it on my mac using Camino or Firefox, so I wonder if there's something wrong there.. I don't see the problem on ... read more
Harbour Center
Yesterday after work I was thinking to myself that I have never seen Vancouver from up high really, except for on Grouse Mountain late at night. I've been up the CN Tower in Toronto and the Empire State Building and Rockafeller Center in NYC, but never up in the harbour center. So, last night I grabbed my camera and went to check out what Vancouver looks like at night.

Sunrise
Maybe due to jetlag, or maybe because the weather is so nice, but for whatever reason, I've found myself up before the sun has risen three days in a row now. I've taken photos of each sunrise, but I like todays the most I think. So here it is, for those of you who slept through it.

Birthdays
So as most of you already know, in less than two weeks time, I'm going to be turning 30. No, I will not be starting any fires in Vancouver with the heat from my birthday cake, but I will be drinking no doubt in some bar somewhere with some of my friends. 30 is a really a strange birthday. As I approach it, I'm not really sad about it, but I am aware of the weight of it. I think it makes you look back on a pretty important chapter of your life and evaluate where ... read more
Taking A Break From Blogging
After something that happened tonight, I've decided to take a small break from blogging. I originally started blogging a long time ago to keep my family in the loop about what I was doing on the other side of the country. Over time, I've sort of felt compelled to write because I think that somewhere inside I have something important to say from time to time. I've always tried to be honest on my blog, to hold up a mirror to the inner workings of my life so that others might possibly learn something from the reflection ... read more
Proper Etiquette In The Online World
A few weeks ago, I started reading over craigslist and frequenting a few of the online dating sites I used to go to in the past. A few emails have been passed around, and some of those have ultimately lead into online conversations via IM. What bothers me the most is that there's this trend where people initiate a chat with you, and then are either too busy or too uninterested to spend time chatting. For example, this one girl will always IM me whenever she sees me and ask to chat. So I say ... read more
Back At Home from London
I'm pretty bagged, so this will be short. The flight leaving Heathrow was pretty much a complete clusterfuck. Apparently they were out of gates, so they just parked the 747 on the concrete a mile away and had to shuttle us all there in small groups.. We took off around an hour late.. About an hour into it, we had some pretty wicked turbulence, which for someone who hates flying basically unnerved me.
I popped a few sleeping pills when we hit altitude and managed to sleep for most of the flight home (surprisingly, ... read more
