Just me » Vancouver http://jemmen.ca From software to sommilier, and everything in between Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:50:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Whoops http://jemmen.ca/2010/02/27/whoops/ http://jemmen.ca/2010/02/27/whoops/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:33:09 +0000 jenn http://jemmen.ca/?p=71 I haven’t been blogging much. Life’s been busy, things have been happening, haven’t really had much time to write about my life lately.

That said, I’m going to try a bit harder to keep this up.

For now, it’s been a busy couple of weekends with the Olympics here and whatnot.  It’s been pretty crazy here in Vancouver, lots of people, lineups in the rain to see pavillions longer than for a ride on Splash Mountain at Disneyland on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of the summer.

I’ve got hundreds of photos to sort through and lots of video I shot to edit.

All in all, I’m pleased with the way this event in my city has turned out, but I’ll be glad when it’s all over and it gets back to normal.

GO CANADA GO!!

  1. Deet sprayed directly in the eyes and mouth sucks. A lot. Your eyes will burn and your mouth will go numb. Trust me.

  2. Cotton socks are the devil (they cause blisters, something I’d attributed to my orthotics before. I invested in a pair of these socks before I left Squamish)

  3. Dehydrated eggs are never any good, regardless of how well they score on MEC’s webste. They’re made worse by dehydrated cheese that failed to rehydrate.

More on the trip later, and I will include photos.

Right now I’m nursing three blisters :(

I say outside because I bought a trainer a few months ago and have been using it fairly steadily, but even with Arrested Development and Battlestar Galactica as entertainment, there is only so much bike-riding inside a girl can do.

Photos are in the Vancouver set on my Flickr site:
