(Obligatory downtown view)

So I'm here in Montreal, having an amazing time and lacking a scanner. (Also, severely regretting underestimating the difficulty of learning to speak french.)

I've seen some amazing live music, drank some alright beer, and done a hell of a lot of walking. It seems like there's at least 3 festivals going on simultaneously at any given time in the summer months. Totally bonkers!

Scenes from BC

I spent some time in a little town called Kaslo in southern British Columbia the past two days. It's built on a forested mountainside by a lake, and some of its back residential roads look like they came straight out of a miyazaki film.





And afterwards, we went to Ainsworth Hot Springs, which features a CAVE. Seriously, you go sit in a cave in piping hot water and sweat until your brains come out of your nose. It's pretty awesome.

PS: Tomorrow I am going to Montreal for a month so that I may mangle the french language. WISH ME LUCK.

A fifteen minute pose, I think?

Curious Facts

I was checking out my Google Analytics, and I've gotten a hit for the following Google searches:

baboon cake

baboon wearing clothes

and my personal favourite,

baboon bum photo.

It would appear all the right people are making their way here.

Romeow and Mewliet

I should be shot for terrible pun usage, I know.

But...

Cabin Fever?

PS:

I updated my website! There's a lot more stuff on it, and the text is for the most part, now selectable.

Except, there's some wonky stuff going down in the narrative section of the gallery for the time being. Anybody know the best way to display that kind of thing?
