I’m leaving tomorrow (July 25th) at 3:30AM for vacation in British Columbia. We’ll be going to Vancover and Victoria, and touring the inland waters between the island and the mainland. I’ll be gone for 10 nights, and will be returning on August 4th sometime, most likely later at night. I’ll be without internet access, for appearent reasons, and won’t be using a phone unless in an emergency. Talk and see you all soon. Write lots.

Well, as usual I was at Allyn Days on the Third Saturday in July. That was fun, cooking salmon over a hot brick fireplace all day. But then, I also smell like raw salmon and alder smoke, but hey, it’s fun. So I do it every year
But anyway, Everett is far away. I just wanted to let you all know. I want to see Alia soon though, I really miss her. But I’ll just ramble on now, so I’ll stop typing.
I got in a weird mood and decided to finally write a news comment system. It works, duh. Note to self: Add system to edit news posts without actually having to use phpmyadmin.
I just realized that I didn’t share about my adventures that occurred in the past few days! So anyway, in our stay in Eugene, which was mainly to move my dad back up (because we worked during the week down there), we did sneak in some sightseeing. So did we go West to Florence? Of course not, we went east to Oakdale. This town is boring. Their idea of grafitti is “Ralph Sucks” on a water tower. Half of the businesses are closed, and it’s just sad really. But still, the area around it is beautiful. There’s a bunch of rivers and dams and just makes the greatest photographs. Speaking of which, I have a great one that I took, get it here. So yeah, I just love that one for some reason.
After we got everythign moved, I realized that I lost my earbuds. That’s another 50 bucks I need to spend to replace them. So I’m pretty bummed about that, oh well.
So then we got home, stayed for two nights, then went to Illwaco for a couple days to visit my dads side of the family. They’re a bunch of fishermen, and pretty funny people. I can see where I got my genes from. And the food there, it was wonderful, freshly cought tuna is amazing grilled. I think I gained some weight there. And I got to use my Aunts Digital Rebel XT, that camera was a dream to use with a 75mm-300mm Canon Lens and my 1GB ultra II CF card. And then, my card reader plug is really twitchy and doesn’t work, so I need to return it to newegg and have them send a new one. And I can’t transfer pictures in the meantime. So they’re stuck on my Canon S230. We saw the fireworks from my Uncles boat in the Illwaco port, that was really amazing.
As for some random stuff, I’m working on design.calcgames.org in some of my free time, of course, I don’t especially like webdesign, but I’ll tolerate it, but CGI programming, that’s what I like doing. So for volunteering hours I work at the library’s summer reading program a couple times a week, it’s pretty boring, but easy, and I need to get reading in somewhere. So this got long in a hurry. Oh, I also, for some reason, maintain a myspace profile. That’s it for now.
Well, I think I’m back for a while. After being in Eugene for a couple days then down at the Ocean in Illwaco, I might be at home for a couple days. So yeah, that is it for now, other than that I want a Rebel XT as soon as possible.
