The mid-week socializing game!

Hey guys! It’s that time of the week, again… Time to socialize on the fly! (And, I’ll have one of those shots in the photo, please!)
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the [...]

1:40 A.M.

I had a really. Great. Weekend.
Much, much needed to be honest.
Let’s see… I socialized, went shopping, helped friends from out-of-town find quite amazing accommodation at the last minute, drank, worked, (– too much for a weekend, sadly) had a very, very long date (that was thoroughly, and incredibly enjoyable I might add), went rollerblading with [...]

WOO! It’s Friday!

Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, kids! Work has gobbled me up…
I’ll post some Friday Silliness later that Al sent a while back (it’s funny!), but wanted to pose a question to all my buds in Vancouver!
I need a quickie vacation! …Seriously. I’m thinking Vegas for a few days near the end [...]

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood!

Happy almost-spring! (at 5:15pm tonight, anyhow)
I’m so happy it’s sunny out this morning! I wish I was out on my non-existent motorcycle… Or, off on the water in a rowing shell. But, alas, I am not. I’m at work, trying desperately to get a project done that was due yesterday. [...]

Hmmmm…

I think I’m going to take those classes I was talking about last week sooner rather than later. I’m finding my life mostly without much ’substance’ these days. That is to say, my life isn’t bad at all… I’m actually quite happy with my life. And, my work life is incredibly busy, [...]

Photowalk in Stanley Park

Here’s a few images from my first photowalk yesterday in Stanley Park with Cin, Miranda and Reilly.
Do you go on photowalks? What types of things do you normally take photos of?

Fully realizing the quality of 10.1 megapixels of goodness…

Reilly and Miranda have been very helpful with my camera buying decision, as well as giving me an overview of the camera’s features and operation, but I’m feeling like *such* an amateur with my new Rebel XTi. Despite having taken a community-based course last summer on the basics of photography, I am finding myself [...]

All-in-all, a great weekend!

The Friday night adventure consisted of going to Richmond to pick up my new Canon Rebel XTi (OMG, that is a beautiful camera — I can’t wait to go out on a photowalk!) with Miranda and Reilly, and then head off to the Black Frog for a couple of drinks and dinner… I got home [...]

Okay… This isn’t right.

I’ve just arrived AT HOME, on a Friday night… by 9:30! What’s wrong with me!!
Someone. Please. Stop the insanity.
This should be outlawed. I don’t care that I have a brand new Canon manual to pour through. I’d rather be out having fun!
UPDATE: 15 minutes later… I’m not kidding. I’m [...]

Friday Silliness! (burning bridges…)

I think this is what Jeremy should have done last Monday, instead of quitting respectably… Wouldn’t this have been much more fun??!

Have an excellent weekend everyone! What have you got planned?
Me? I’m working tomorrow morning and afternoon (project deadline looming, and I’m terribly behind due to issues with other clients popping up), and [...]

How to write a better dating profile:

A long-time blog friend wrote me a while back asking me to look at his profile on Plenty Of Fish – He wasn’t happy with the results he was getting, and he felt he was attracting the wrong type of girl.
I thought, since I know a lot of single people (of many ages) [...]

Okay, okay… I’m a ‘free stuff whore’.

I can’t help it! Free toys make Tanya a happy, happy girl!
Last week, I was contacted by Hill & Knowlton, a PR company representing Motorola, asking if I’d like to try out the new Motorola KRZR phone. They’d noticed that I received a Nokia last summer in a similar viral marketing campaign, and [...]

Something not-so-deep for now, more later!

Friday Silliness!

HAPPY FRIDAY GUYS!
Thought this was a rather timely Friday Silliness… I laughed… (Thanks Al!)
What’s everyone looking forward to this weekend? Me? Heading out for dinner tonight with a friend, catching up with friends for a glass of wine tomorrow night, heading out to see my Dad, and grabbing a movie on Sunday! [...]

I’m finding life both challenging and rewarding right now:

I have so many things jumbling through my head these past few days. Most of it is actually quite good: Things I’m looking forward to in the not-so-distant future, life with a new roommate (who’s totally sweet, I might add), upcoming dating silliness, and finding time to have some amazing new adventures with friends, [...]
