Christina's family bought a kitchen-aid yesterday and now they're baking up a storm in the kitchen as I'm typing this. Seriously, the whole house smells like sweet bread and cakes. If I liked sweets it would be heaven!
It's funny how Chris and her mom were so excited to get the montrous mixer. Seeing Chris' eyes light up as she assembled it made me realize how different us guys are. I got excited the same way the first time I picked up my Nikon D70! Women...I guess we are just wired differently, because i could never imagine getting excited about something that allows you to watch as it beats eggs at lightspeed.
Whoever invented the kitchen-aid is a genious. Not because it's a cool machine, but because he could fetch hundreds of dollars for it. Think about it, attach a motor to piece of clean bent steel and voila, you have a kitchen aid. I swear the first one was probably made from junkyard motors and metal....
Genious...Mr. Kitchen-aid is just rolling in his millions of dollars.

I miss holiday...
It has been awhile since I posted those NY pics. Thank you to some of you for your kind comments about the pics. I must say, for every one good pic, there are tens of bad ones. Hopefully as I shoot more, that ratio gets better...
Some of you know, those pics were taken with a Nikon D70 DSLR. Yes, that's right, a digital SLR! I got it when I was down in Boston for training. So far, I'm extremely happy with the camera. It's fast, easy to use, gives me complete control and takes great pics. If any of you are ever going to spend $500 on a camera, forget the point and shoots and move up to Digital SLRs. I promise your picture quality will go up tenfold and so will your creativity with it! Man, Nikon should hire me to do their PR or marketing.
I'm revamping my photo equipment and i'm getting rid of one of my film bodies and a couple lenses to make room for the D70. If any of you are interested, I'm selling a Nikon F70 body, a manual-focus 135mm lens, a AF-d 28-105mm lens /w macro, a 18-70mm DX lens (came with the d70 but don't need it) and some filters. There's probably some other stuff too in my kit that i'm getting rid of...i'll put those up here later.
Anyhow, can you tell that I've been involved with photography lately? I can't seem to get enough, I love taking pics, reading about cameras and places to shoot!
Moving on, Vancouver was a great trip. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got off the plane. There are MOUNTAINS around the city. MOUNTAINS! We went kayaking/hiking only 30 min from Vancouver and I swear, it was just as nice, if not nicer than Lake Superior here in Ontario which is like 8 hours away!
I think I'd move to Vancouver if Chris wants to. My only concern is my job. We have an office out there but the nature of the work in BC is travel. I'd be flying out of town for 3-4 days a week. It's fine now but if I want to have any sort of family, it doesn't sound so appealing. Neither does hearing that living costs in vancouver are 10-15% higher than Toronto. Can you believe they charge for new houses PER FLOOR? I heard in some areas it's like $200,000/floor. Ridiculous. No mountain scenery is worth that money! I guess it's boring T.O. for the next while.
I'll be working from home all week. Actually I'm working from home right now as I'm typing this, hehe. There are some perks to this job. I better get back to report writing though.
I want to create a picture gallery instead of posting each pic individually here so if any of you can help me with making one, i'd really really appreciate it!
