So, on Saturday, I went to Displace Me with OMan and I look lots of pictures.
I also used the opportunity to buy a Polaroid camera. I’ve always thought they were pretty cool and they’re not very pricey, either! It’s the film that gets you, I suppose. =) Rest of the pics on my flickr.
Today, Vox Veniae went to a park to help restore it. So I took a bunch of pics from that too… but I haven’t uploaded them yet, so I’ll post them later.
Yesterday, Oriana got baptized at ACC. I think she made everyone cry (including myself) when she gave her testimony. Congrats, little sister. =)
Here are some pics, with the rest on my flickr.
Went to Jason’s poker night even though I didn’t play (did play some Wii though). Took some shots. Here are some:
The rest are in this set.
Got my new 17-40L, but haven’t had the chance to play with it too much.
Went to JM’s concert at Stubb’s last night with a bunch of Vox people. It was pretty cool. I wish I had brought my camera, but I forgot my CF cards at the apartment, so my body and lenses were pretty useless, haha. It would have been a good opportunity to use my 17-40L. Oh well… next time. =)
I think Sam and Kat should have pics.
I went to a coworker’s wedding with Kathy on Friday and it was one of the best weddings I have attended. Very light-hearted and fun with little/no stress in the air, haha. Here are some shots from it:
Yesterday, we went to see TMNT and it was pretty enjoyable. =) I won’t say much more than that because there are people like Viraj out there that will be pissed if I say that Michelangelo is a party dude. I was debating whether to get chicken strips or pizza and I had changed my mind to chicken strips, but Kathy said “how could you see TMNT and not get pizza?” I then realized she was so right and it was true, I must get pizza. The usual Raging Bull it was. =)
Yesterday we finished gutting the house which had a few large things we still needed to get out and a lot of little things. We brought almost the whole group and worked on removing nails, the bathroom, and other house stuff. =) We somehow managed to get a pretty large pile out in front of the house despite thinking we got almost everything out the day before. Afterwards, we headed over to the lake that overflowed over the levees and flooded the area.
Anyways, pics as usual… more on flickr.
Today we went to gut a house. The house belonged to an old couple that moved to Florida when Katrina hit. They passed away a few months after and no one has touched their house since it got flooded. We came in to clear it out and tear out the walls, etc. The children of the couple requested we look for a few items while we cleaned it out and we were able to find some of them I believe.
It was pretty crazy seeing how damaged the house was. It looks like the water went about eight feet high. In the kitchen, the fridge was horizontal and was resting on a counter or sink or something. I’ve got a bunch of photos (a few below) on my flickr, and Enoch has a bunch as well. Enoch had a wide lens that lets you get an idea of the overall damage done to the room.
Oh, and it was also Evan’s birthday today, so we celebrated at a Gumbo place. Was tasty. =)
Today we went to clean up a city park that had gotten flooded and overrun by weeds. All the plants that used to be there were wiped out as well as the trails and everything. Apparently people used to run/bike the trails, which reminded me of Town Lake in Austin. We had to clear a bunch of the wild vegetation that grew (weeds, vines, etc.) and hack away at trees/branches that were on the ground.
Here’re some pics:
For dinner, I had some lamb chops at a Lebanese place. It was awesome.
The rest of the pics are on my flickr.
Pics from yesterday and this morning:
