Nervous or Excited...

...I'm not quite sure exactly which I'm feeling right now.  I have 4 more days before I stand up in front of all my friends and MC a wedding again.  This will be my second time, and everyone said I did a great job last year, but now I just have so much to live up to.  :/

I'm probably just excited.

I'm also the wedding photographer, which I am VERY excited for.  (I've never had people actually pose for my photos before!)  My co-photographer is stopping by in 20 minutes or so, and we are going over our 'shot-list' again before we fly off to Victoria on Thursday.  I really shouldn't be taking the time to write this right now, but I needed a SMALL break from all the wedding planning!  :P

Colour me Green!

Today was Clean Air Day across Canada, and since I work in the Environmental Department at work I got to spend the day manning an informational booth at a Safety Expo, giving out prizes to my favorite people!  Surprisingly the day went by pretty fast, even though I spent the majority of it just standing around and chatting.  (Actually, that's not surprising at all - I'm really really good at that!)

Another perk?  I got to do a lap of the building riding this wicked little gokart-floor cleaning thingy!  It would suck to actually do that as part of your job, but there's nothing like testing out a new set of wheels.  I also did a lap of the other booths right before we shut down for the day, and scored about 4 pair of new sunglasses!

When I got home I watched last night's Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien that I taped, and loved it.  I'm SO happy that Leno is outta there!  (I'm a Letterman fan born and bred.)  Green Day rocked it out, which got me pretty pumped for the floor tickets I have for their Edmonton show later this summer.

After that, I continued my laziness and watched an episode of the OLN show Departures.  I really shouldn't watch that show because every time I do, I get VERY jealous of the amazing life those three guys are living right now while I go to work everyday.  If you haven't seen it, it's a travel documentary show that follows two Canadian guys (and their camera man) as they travel the globe and live out 'once-in-a-lifetime' experiences.  Today's showed them in Brazil hang gliding, scuba diving, swimming in the Amazon with pink dolphins and watching turtles hatch at sunset.  On top of that, I have three Facebook friends traveling the globe right now and showing off their photos...yah, I'm DEFINITELY taking my big Asian trip next year!  Anyone want to come with me?

Dodgeball, Meatless May and Primer - talk about eclectic!

Just came home from my Dodgeball game; we only had six players and we were up against our arch-nemeses in the final regular season game of the year.  No big deal...we still won 14-7 and are heading into playoffs with an undefeated record!  Normally I can just kinda hang around chatting at the back of the gym, but since we didn't have any subs I had to actually step up and help out tonight!

We've never won the championship as a team before, but I have a feeling this is going to be our best chance...

In other news, Meatless May is drawing to a close.  (In case you don't know what that is, for the last 4 years, I choose one month to be vegetarian...just for the challenge)  Normally I do it in March, but I was in Montreal this March (and I couldn't miss out on those smoked meat sandwiches) so I figured as long as I kept the alliteration going it would be okay!  No real hardships this year again, although I do still crave sushi ALL THE TIME.  First meal back will absolutely be either some Spicy Tuna rolls or a good chinese dinner!

Watched the movie "Primer" again last night.  Man, that flick really makes me think - if you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest it!  (only if you like scientific time-travel movies though)  What are your thoughts on time-travel?  Is it possible?  Can you change the past?  I'm of the school that says it is possible, but only to the past and only your consciousness can travel there.  What do you think?

There's a first post for everything...

MyWebSpace, Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook...I've had a blog-type thing on all of them, so it should come as no surprise that I (finally) have jumped into this new pool that is Blogger.  Sometimes you just need a place to write some stuff, you know?

(Like where else could I casually mention that Red Wings fan that was just shown on CBC double-bird-flipping-off the ref during the scoreless second period of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals?)

Anyways...I don't think there will be a theme or anything for this blog just yet; until I get in the habit of updating continually I'll just keep it casual for now.  Time to watch this Blackhawks powerplay...talk to you later!
