I’m on a boat!

Well, I *was* on a boat. A few days before the wedding we had the opportunity to go on a boat around the bay of Miami with my family, courtesy of friends of Adriana’s parents. It was awesome.

The full set (including a few photos from Wet Willie’s beforehand) is here.

Here are some sample photos from the ride:

STS-128 launch

It finally launched! Adriana and I spent the better part of a week trying to see this thing lift off (weather problems, followed by a valve problem), but it was completely worth it. This was a night launch, and while it was much ‘shorter’ than a day launch, it was soooo much prettier. A shuttle launch still is, by far, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

Here is my favourite picture from the set, the solid booster separation. You could only just barely see this, and somehow I was able to get enough pixels to remember it by.

Farewell, wisdom teeth.

I just had all my wisdom teeth removed. Before being injected with the novocaine, I attempted to see how low I could get my pulse. I guess I did an ok job, hovering around the mid 60s, especially since I was freaking out a little.

The whole procedure took 45 mins, with three straight pulls and one impacted (soft flesh, so it hadn’t come right through yet). I remember the dentist saying “now you’re going to feel good”, and then after that, being wheelchaired out to the car.

Here is my tribute song to the moment:

Time for an update, eh?

Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year break. I made the mistake of attempting to work during that time, and was not as successful as I would have liked. Since this has turned into more of a photo blog rather than random musings/bitchings (stated right after a bitching post), here are some photos.
