Summer is off to a great start

Posted by Elliswordpress on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015

Got to see Jurassic World the other weekend on IMAX- so so so good. I brought my little ankylosaurus to the movie. I was really psyched about it.

I had heard there was a massive fight with ankylosaurus and it was also the first time he was in a Jurassic Park movie so naturally I was pumped. Here he is with my delicious TacoTime calorie fest.

HE GO SMOKED- it was about 20 seconds in total of fighting- his sole purpose was to show how insane the new antagonist was. I was pretty choked. Good movie though.

Enjoying Vietnamese by myself and a Pho Express- not great but not bad considering its in suburbia hell and not in Chinatown.

I loved this- spring rolls and julienne pork- I think this is my new fave rice vermicelli bowl.

I brought out my Apple wireless keyboard, paired it with my Microsoft Wedge mouse and voila- I quite like typing on my surface RT again- I absolutely despise the touch keyboard and regret buying it for sure. I was cramming out some bits of my dessertation at the library here. Really love going to libraries to do work.

STAIRS! I’ve been hitting stairs hard again and its been awesome. Ive been careful though and keeping an eye on my feet – stopped stairs for the weekend so that I could give my feet a break and just did flat running.

Went by the university campus grounds in my run- used to do so many runs here in undergrad.

Rain after the night before- so nice to run in the morning after.

Enjoying the views from High Level Bridge. I love this part, the cars come right at you.

Looking north from the bridge

Haven’t really explored the southern river valley trails. Will have to do that sometime.

Big stairs- definitely gets me everytime.

Just really beautiful out this time of the year. Glad I made a decision to stop doing weights and spend as much time outside as possible.

Taking a cooling break post run at the Legistlature grounds wading pools.

Beautiful weather for Canada Day.

Look at that summer afternoon!

Of course when I get to weights, its kind of nice too- I took my preworkout before this and I don’t think I will buy a new bottle afterwards- it tastes really gross and unnatural. Hit my triceps hard this day

Enjoying a Friday after work drink with my work crew at Craft downtown. So nice here and the kegs are stored in a really cool area downstairs. We were up in the rooftop patio and it was absolutely fabulous.

W has been away way too long- I’ve been eating pre made foods so much- just no love at the dinner table

Second IMAX movie! TERMINATOR GENYSIS. I cant believe how bad the reviews are for it.

I just love the therater experience with the popcorn and pop. Just so exciting.

I quite liked the movie- it spent more time doing character development as T2, but not as doomsday feeling. Much better than T3 and Salvation, which was mostly action.

Hitting starbucks with more thesis writing.

Really liking my XBA3/A3000.PHA2 combo for my current audio set up on the go.

Spending a lot of time eating Japanese mayo with different things like sriracha and fried rice.

Cool birds nest at E’s place.

I honestly am a bit disappointed by the DSC-F828- it feels WAY too awesome to put out the pictures that it does. The camera is an absolute beast to hold, but the picutres just dont justify it.

Lots of purple fringing – I tend to get lots of smearing too because the slow shutter speeds. I have to lock it at ISO 100 because of poor noise handling and there’s no optical image stabilization

Rostizwado with WK- really solid and always exciting to have a plate of meat

Tomato pork chop with baked fried rice. Classic.

CoCoDi’s was quite good- I would definitely come back here for the food, although I would want more food overall. WK had a big pita and beef dip

I had a chicken something with a nice Lebanese salad. Really fresh and tasty.

Helping S move her place- they have a rad lobby with lots of nice decor

Couldn’t believe how much their lobby had.

I loved the view from S’s place. Really great overview of downtown

I love looking down from high vantage points.

Love the greenery in the downtown core.

Canada day fireworks.

I like this blobby shot

I spent a little too much time shooting the fireworks instead of enjoying them but W wasn’t here with me to romance the night so whatevs I guess.

Still pretty to watch every year.

Love these big blast shots

I was kind of excited to have a zoom lens to shoot the fireworks this year.
