Apparently that was the last time I posted in here. I don't know if it's just the way social media has been going, or maybe it's just that we're all getting older, but livejournal seems to have lost a lot of the traffic it saw when I joined, or even after I moved back to Vancouver in 2005. I'm not really sure why I keep this thing around anymore since I post all the time on my blogspot and tumblr, but I just can't seem to bear to let it die.
Anyway, maybe I can get back in the habit of posting little things here and there, and to help that along I'm going to do something similar to what Amanda is doing right now: one of those 10- or 15- or 30-day challenges. Maybe two.
In the meantime, if you aren't already following my
photo blog and/or
tumblr, you should probably check them out (some images NSFW... actually my tumblr is 90% naked ladies so maybe don't click that link if you're not into boobs).
I don't particularly want to talk about the riots; thankfully I wasn't there so I don't have any firsthand experience, but I've seen enough photos and news stories and read enough articles from people much more eloquent than I am, and I'm sure all you other Vancouver folks have too. It's just incredibly disappointing and embarrassing.
And yes I am a little bit sad about the Canucks but honestly, after this many years, I am pretty used to them shitting the bed. They played like crap in Boston and the Bruins played their hearts out, so I don't think it's bad form to say they didn't particularly deserve to win. But I still had a smidgen of hope.
