    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.
