Phew! Woah! Surprise! Outstanding! Quick!

One late Friday evening I returned home to Zurich from my summer exploits. Phew! This was definitely one of the best summers of my life. My Dad was visiting, using my house as a launch pad for a three week vacation. We caught up a bunch and the next day we headed into the Zurich Street Parade and 'danced' in the street to the theme of 'Friendship' with the other 800,000 people rocking out. Rocking out in one big urban puff of neon fishnets, neon wigs and neon feathers to the best house music floating by on these enormous lovemobiles. Woah!Then, casually, we drift towards a Mexican restaurant for some food because, I believe, I feel like nachos. Surprise! A 26th birthday party for me, with all my friends waiting there. My Dad seemed to think that because of my not having a birthday party these past few years, he should go through my phone address book and plan it himself. Outstanding! It was great to see all of my friends before work began (even if Dad displayed naked baby pictures of me in public), and so nice that my Dad could meet so many of my Zurich friends, and that they could meet someone who is so important to me in my life and in who I am; him! Thanks, Dad, for the plates and plates of nachos and the past 26 years of you and me. Quick! Post this before I get too semi-mental!

Sega 2008 - Books, Books, Books

This year's trip to Sega was focused around completing a library project; with a lot of fun time in between. Another month there just reaffirms that I may never be able to stay away. Since I didn't take any pictures this time around, I chose my favourite picture of Emily's for this post. Flash! Summer is gone!

On the road with Charlie

In just one week Charlie and I managed to put 1100 miles on his volkswagon. As a very willing passenger, I was able to watch the UK zoom by on our way from beautiful place to beautiful place. Besides the fortune of great company and yummy food (tons of it!), I also had the chance to visit my third love: the salty and chilly, wavy and windy ocean. We walked to it, along it, to see it, to sit by it, to watch the sun go down over it, to walk in it, surf and float in it, and it reminded me of home in Deep Cove and after awhile, it started to feel like home, and how lucky is that for me!
