NYC escapade

Greg and I made our way up to NYC this weekend for his sister's birthday celebration. I had a really fun (albeit crazy) time. Took some shots with my DSLR, but definitely have much to learn before I consider myself even remotely competent. The problem with big cameras is that they have more buttons and crazy functions. So much for taking the Canon Field Guide with me- that thing was about as specific as...well, it wasn't. I also discovered that my camera is definitely on the heavier side, at least for my hands =\ Will play around with it some more to see if I can improve my touch, but may look for a more ergonomic solution if this doesn't work out.

Pictures to come...after I get my CF reader in the mail! Next on the tech list: Iomega MiniMax HD, and an iPod upgrade. I need to start utilizing my discount, and seeing as how my current iPod is from 2005/06, it's time for a change before this baby dies. There are cheaper 1TB HD's besides the Iomega, but I want it because it stacks with my Airport Extreme router...womp womp.

Tonight's dinner attempt: pi-pa tofu with fried rice. (The attempt is at the pi-pa tofu, not the fried rice. I really need to buy a food processor.)

Some pics from the weekend

Freddy calls these the "pure happiness" series...I think we were laughing because he was clicking non-stop!

Greg and Freddy, my roommate. Should have focused the camera more here, oops!
