Man, as if painting all the walls wasn't enough for tonight, I had to deal with this lamp that broke, while trying to watch the WJHC. I got a feeling earlier this evening when I moved the light that it was kind of unstable. When I accidentally bumped it with my ladder, I just resigned and watched it come slowly crashing.. down. :(

After 3 months I finally assembled my Toronto Marathon frame. :)

I completed the 2009 Toronto Marathon back on October 18, 2009 with a chip time of 3:58:56.9. I ordered the photo on the left from the Official Race Photographers for CDN $21. It arrived several weeks ago. The right photo was taken by the awesome photographer named Doris. I've been meaning to print it forever to finish up the frame. Last night at 11:30pm, I logged onto Black's Photo website to upload and print my photo, only to discover they had a 75% off all 5x7 prints promotion that was to expire in 30 minutes! Caught the deal just in time, and had my second photo printed for $0.55. :)

Next race, I definitely need my own photographers.

My Home.

Every weekend for the next while will be dedicated to the kitchen. Today was the first day of painting.

When we picked our ceiling paint, for some reason, we didn't like the pure white that is typical of ceiling paint. We elected to go with an off-shade known as Silk Moon. After applying two coats of this paint today, I cannot really tell the difference.

And yes, those goggles are the same ones from CHEM 201.

Home Depot - Richmond Hill.

I am in the process of redoing my entire kitchen. Over the past two weeks I have gutted my entire kitchen (only thing remaining is my dishwasher, which I have not figured out how to disconnect, and some old tiles).

Well, much to my dismay, I found my drywall and insulation required more repairs than expected. Good thing Home Depot is only a 5 minute drive away! I've learned and used pretty much everything there is in this aisle at Home Depot.

Project 365

This blog has been pretty neglected this past year.... but with the new decade, I have been convinced to start a more ambitious project... Project 365 - A Photo A Day....

This will be a montage of my every day life... most of the photos will not be amazing or spectacular, at times, even crappy... but that's part of the spirit. One is bound to have good and bad days. :-)

Help me stay motivated by adding comments to my photos! Write me a nasty note if I am slow with my updates. Hope you enjoy this!

Without further ado... 1st photo:

January 1, 2010 - Sunrise @ SAT

Today marks the end of my San Antonio, TX trip and I had an early morning flight to Dallas connecting onward to Toronto. Security was heightened to ORANGE status thanks to the Nigerian dude. As I was trying to take photos of the sunrise, a security guy approached and asked WTF was I doing... what the heck. He released after I told him I was just trying to get a picture of the beautiful colours. I didn't feel too comfortable taking more photos... so this was the best I ended up with. :|
