Announcement
Having fallen behind on updating (though picture taking was on track).. I have decided to begin my Project 365 again. I will be going from 09/09/09 to 10/10/10.
Going forward, please follow 365+ here.
Day 161
Today is a special treat for you. Since this month I missed so many, I decided to post a photo series today, instead of picking just one. Today was Dan’s birthday, and the photos are unrelated to that, but it just also makes it appropriate to do it today. 
I got a Kinder Egg, and the toy was this cute little robot dude. I decided to follow him around his universe and, with his permission, was able to catch some photos of him exploring. According to the info portrait that came with the egg, he is one of the bad guys, but I completely disagree. He is actually not shooting his weapon, so I’ve concluded that he is a spy. Of course, he’d never tell me this. He never told me his name either. I called him Harold.
I claim this chocolate in the name of Harold.

Day 158
I took a lot of photos this day…. a lot of my parents’ house, where they’ve lived for 22 years… I’m keeping those photos for myself, and don’t want to post them here.
However, on my drive back into London, I had quite the animal rescue ordeal. Traffic was STOPPED, and I couldn’t figure out why. I saw this guy trying to shove/kick something off the road , but couldn’t tell what it was. It DID look like an animal, but I couldn’t tell if it was alive… then I could see it hissing and biting at the guy’s foot… omg. So I get out of my car to see wtf is going on. Meanwhile a guy from the Tim Horton’s across the street had come over with a shovel to help. It tied up 2 lanes of traffic for a couple minutes, then one lane of traffic for about 5 minutes. I asked if I could take a pic, they said yes. I also DID actually help, because the guy was having trouble getting the MASSIVE TURTLE to stay on the shovel, so I nudged it on with my foot. woot.
He put it in the bank beside the road, which leads to a nature area. Rather than the commercial area where this guy was headed. Hopefully he stays in the safe spot.
*poke*
Day 151
Upon my search through stuff that I gathered for the yard sale, I came across a little toy ball for Kitty that had been long ago shoved behind something. A little cleaning, and she was back at it.
nom nom nom
Day 150
Today my roommate, myself, a friend of mine, and a friend of hers had a yard sale. A couple of our neighbours got in on the action as well. It was large, and successful. We are moving (the four of us, not the neighbours), and need to downsize a LOT. This was the first time I had a yard sale. It’s a bit strange actually…
take it awaaaay
Day 144
Today was Dan’s last full day in Canada. Rather than dwelling and posting sad-face pics, I’ll also note that it was Free Hamburger Day at Harveys. We did not partake. We did not want to face the line up (I would have probably, but wasn’t feeling up to it, and Dan didn’t think it was that special… lol). However, these kids thought it to be a ‘run, don’t walk’ sort of occasion.
omgfree
Day 143
Today our friend Teresa had a party. She arranged to have a friend of hers come and do a fire show, so that Dan could have a ‘good’ fire experience (he and his family were recently evacuated from their home for a couple of days due to wild fires in the area!). It was really awesome.
flamey
Day 137
Dan’s nickname from university is Goat… I don’t recall exactly why (he told me the story once). Today we went to Colasanti’s, which is a fun little greenhouse/gift place/indoor park/petting zoo thing. They keep expanding/changing lately. We mostly just went in the petting zoo, as the rest of it is geared towards shopping or families. They have great prices on plants, but since plants can’t be brought across the border into the U.S. neither of us really wanted to buy any.
This is Goat, with a goat.

Day 136
Ya know, sometimes people aren’t at their best, and decide to do things like sword fight with plastic drink swords. This is the result. That’s Dan on the right, with the small piece of plastic sword EMBEDDED IN HIS FINGER. On the left is our friend Andrea, sporting a pretty fierce scratch herself. lol Yikes.
but what is mightier than the plastic sword?
Day 122
Today was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!! Woot! Spent the morning at 5 different comic stores in London’s downtown area. Was worth it. Got lots of good loot (and a few not so good, but free is free!).
This is the line up at one of the ‘best’ places to go. Got the most stuff here though, so it was worth the 20-25 minute wait.
tick tock
Bonus:
It was also Arosa’s first day home from the hospital. I went over to visit. Good times.
zzzz....
Day 120
Last day of April. And… the first day of the rest of Arosa’s life. 
My niece was born today, 4/30 at 3:34pm! Cooool. She’s cute Welcome to life Arosa.
cheek!
Day 116
Went over to my brother’s place for a BBQ. My mom’s in town for a little while awaiting the birth of my niece, any time now! It was nice to get to visit her a few times while she was here.
We went for a brief walk with Jasper to give my brother some more time to BBQ peacefully. lol This is he with my mom, and a flower (dandelion) that I picked for him. lol
dandy!
Day 115
I apparently realized I didn’t have enough photos lately of Kitty and myself. This is the best I could do….
she's just shy...
Day 111
Ended up getting bored and playing with the camera to realize that a beer bottle makes a really interesting filter. In the middle is Dan, on the phone with me, wearing his hippie shirt from Hallowe’en last year. lol
can love be found at the bottom of a glass?
