Man, it’s been a long week. I haven’t been able to blog because for some reason wordpress does not work at workplace. I used to blog during my downtime or lunchtime. It’s going to be a pretty busy weekend… maybe. DARK KNIGHT open this weekend, The Bite of Seattle is also happening this weekend, PBL playoff on Sunday and our work picnic as well. The Bite of Seattle is overrated, but where else can you get alligator meat on a stick. I just hate that I see the same vendors every event in Seattle with their overprice food. Well, I anm actually blogging before work so I better go and get ready. I promise to blog more often. I’m still in the market for a DSLR and this time I will by me a wide lens to go with it.
P.S Need to buy tickets for San Diego.
