I was reading Karl’s blog during his business trip in Florida, and yesterday’s entry looks like SO MUCH FUN!
Read about Karl’s adventures in Indoor Skydiving…
It’s obvious I’m in dire need of some adventures, myself. All this work and no play makes Gail a dull girl. It’s my own fault, really, I could be much [...]
It happened at 1:01am, and I was working, but didn’t feel a thing. Danielle, who lives in northern BC, posted it immediately in the Vancouver Orkut community, but I couldn’t respond as I was in Orkut jail…
Earthquake in BC - Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland
I’ve felt two earthquakes since I moved to Vancouver in [...]
Is it ever humid… humidity just kills me! I just checked the weather online, and the humidity is sitting at 51%! When I was living in Cairns in the far north of Australia, the humidity in the summer (northern hemisphere winter) was typically around 80%, but I just got used to it. But here, this [...]
Here’s another random photo from my spring Eurotrip. I’m working away, here, so thought I’d post a pic that I’d taken one night off La Ramblas, in Barcelona. Some of these shoes are too hideous for words! I took the photo and made it into a postcard for my friend Eliza, who loves shoes and [...]
My Current Sleeping Schedule
1 Comment Published by Gail (blogspot) July 17th, 2004 in Music, Videoclips… is that I don’t have a sleeping schedule. In fact, it’s hard to tell these days which is night and which is day for me. Day runs into night, and night runs into day. How I can usually distinguish the two is by how much is going on outside — everyone else’s night means [...]
I was at Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal earlier this evening, waiting for the #250 bus to take me into downtown, when I noticed one of the auction orcas that have been cropping up all around Vancouver.
Some people find them downright ugly, but most people don’t know what they’re for. I think they’re great, especially because [...]
Anybody read life lines?
I was in the mood for a little digicam experimentation while at Horseshoe Bay earlier, so I fooled around a bit with some of the manual features.
I love macro photos, so I used it with the setting for the greatest depth of field, and this is the first pic I took. A [...]
Overnighting at the Office Again
3 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) July 15th, 2004 in Working LifeIt’s like camping. I’ve got a Thermarest (actually, two, I just noticed), a pillow, and a sleeping bag. Me, I can sleep pretty much anywhere, as long as the temperature is held at a comfortable setting by clothing or a thermostat.
It’s also very much UNLIKE camping. I’ve got a fridge with food and drinks, I’m [...]
Got your attention, didn’t I???? Well, that is the question.
As I sit here, working away here at nearly 11pm and chatting to Breigh on MSN, I wonder whether I should go to this wedding alone or drag someone along.
See, it’s the dragging part I don’t want to bother with. It’s easier to go by myself [...]
From My Mad Mates
3 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) July 12th, 2004 in Chez Gail (Vancouver), Friends, Singleton LifeGot a bunch of stuff in the post recently, and being the photo junkie that I am, had to post them here. These days receiving any real mail through the post is a joy indeed!
From my #1 Mad Mate, Lucy, whose wedding I attended May 1 in England. I have to say, I was curious [...]
