Blargh...got no work done. Sigh.

Man oh man...I'm not getting any work done today. I was planning on doing some work today, but got absolutely NOTHING accomplished. Oh well. Sigh. I guess I'll have to spend the wee hours tonight doing my reading.

Tonight, went out to meet friends of a friend. It was interesting to see my friend's apartment for the first time. Let me tell ya, she certainly lives in a 'lively' neighbourhood in East Vancouver. She affectionately calls the neighbour living below her as “The Pyscho”. Outside her apartment, I saw a bare chested man roaming the halls. A couple of us inquired her about this--she told us that he was her landlord. She calmly explained that he usually wore a shirt, but he probably had just been shooting up in his room and had just come out to see what the noise was all about. Right on que, “The Pyscho” downstairs starts pounding his ceiling/our floor signalling us to shut up. Sigh.

Now this neighbourhood certainly has character...

I am 21 years old ya know...
A couple months ago, I said that I was experimenting with Fuji Velvia film. Well, I got a test roll developed about half a month ago and I have to say I am very impressed! In fact, I was actually very happy with the shots. They really came out well--much better than anything else I have taken photos of. Unfortunately, I can't scan them for this website since Velvia are slides. If I want to scan slides, I have been told that I should buy a special film scanner. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy one right now (or, perhaps more accurately, VISA won't let me buy one right now). Tis a pity since the pictures came out WAY better than the digital photo shot I have above. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it...

This week, about six different people thought I was over 25 years old. I can understand the occasional mistake, especially from people I don't know very well, but I was casually talking with a couple of classmates at school that I have known for a YEAR and they guessed my age wrong! "Well if I didn't know you Dave, I would guess you're 27...but you're around 24 years old right?"

When I told him that I'm 21, they were like: "Shut up! Get out of here! Really? That means you're younger than us!"

Grrr.

You know this isn't the first time either...I seem to have a real problem on my hands! I've actually had people think I was my dad's younger brother. Sigh.

Of course, I have consulted with friends and family for advice on what to do. Olive Oil anti-wrinkle cream and Rogaine? I surely hope not...

My niece suggested that I should start wearing baggy jeans and dye my hair. Perhaps the skater look will make me look younger. Hmmmm...

Once, when talking about this problem with a group of friends, one friend cheerfully described the miracles of plastic surgery as the solution to all my problems.

"Really," I asked.

"Yup," she nodded. Then she added, "yeah...get the doctor to add a tail or something..."

La di da...

Nothing major tonight either. I'm a little lazy, so I'm just tweaking the design to this page tonight. I can't be bothered to write anything...I did post screen captures of what the site looked like previously in the "Copyright" section... You can laugh at how pathetic it was/is...

Nothing really major this weekend...I just added about 20 pictures of Korea in my Korea section. The pictures are also viewable in my online photo gallery.
