Farewell Ontario, Back to BKK Soonish

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Yesterday I received confirmation that I will be departing Toronto Nov. 17th, bound for BKK on Nov. 19th. It will be great to get back and see everyone again. And yes, I’ve got maple fudge for a few select people! And maple cookies for more. ;-)

Things with my MA have been rather a bit disorgamanised for a while, as I may have mentioned – but yesterday I finally received some positive news. The general fallout from the last week is that the assignments for half of my projects have been pushed back to the start of January – the beginning of my next term, afaik. So, we shall see. It’s all a bit quiet still right now as I’m still waiting to see how a few things go, and for input on some assignments.

Been bit lethargic again – lack of exercise, I figure. :-S Will write more later.

Flickr Upgrade and Many Photos Posted

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

I finally went and upgraded my flickr account so I can now post lots and lots of photos. I was getting a bit tired of editing, resizing and posting photos to my blog. I will still do that for some series’ when I want to have the photos on my site itself. But for now I’ll probably just post images which link to the photo sets on flickr.

Here is the direct link to my flickr account if anyone wants to just browse around.

So, let’s start with a few highlights from the glut of photos I posted last night.

Dawson Family Photos

Me and my neices, Jordan and Jodi. :-D A while ago my cousin Leanne did a Dawson family photo shoot of the Dawson crew down by Moyer’s Blair Landing. These are some shots taken with mine own camera at the same time.

Bassfest 2006

A few weekends ago I had the infinite pleasure of attending my first Bassfest (2006) up at my Uncle Bill’s cottage. All the Gosse boys (who could be there) were in attendance. So I was surrounded by cousins, uncles, as well as my father and brother. For those of the fairer race, please don’t worry. There aren’t any strange or rudely-male photos here. ;-)

Go Home Bay’s Autumnal Colours

While up at my Uncle’s cottage (more of a mansion in the hills really ;-) I had the chance to take Bob, my dad’s kayak (yes, he calls it Bob) out on the water for a spin. The leaves were all changing colour, so I went forth as the eager beaver and took many a photo. Ostensibly it was to show my friends back in the warmer clime of Thailand what the changing colours look like, but heck – I did for myself too. ;-)

Pumpkin Carving

Here’s a great shot of me and my brother with the nieces carving pumpkins the night before Hallowe’en. We’re all just so damned cute. ;-)

Chief Chaser

And for those of you who have heard of the inestimable joy and fantasy! that is John and Jen’s pooch Chief, well, here’s a bit of a Chief chaser after all those other photos.

There are lots of other photos on my flickr page as well, so don’t be afraid to look around. After finding a picture you like as well you can click on the ‘Other Sizes’ link to download a full-resolution version which you could save or take and print if you so desire.

And if I have mentioned it before, you can click on the ‘Photo Posts’ link in the menu on the right to see any posts I have made/will make that contain photos.

Cheers.
