Three Point Holiday Update

1// Parade

What better way to love my new camera than to bring it on an outing on its first full day as a part of my family?

Steve and I shot downtown for the parade where he only pretended to drop my new camera, and then I pretended to kick him in the nuts.

I had begun feeling like this was Too Much Camera for me, but after shooting with it for an hour I'm really really rillyillyilly loving it.

If I had to choose between my camera and my dog, it would be a difficult choice. Choosing between Steve and my camera, however, would be a no-brainer (see kick-in-nuts reference above).

I only licked the camera three times in public.

2// Transformers

I didn't know anything about Transformers before seeing the movie, other than them being Those Dolls "Action Figures" Steve Plays With. I knew they were robots that turned into planes and cars and Steve yells at you if you break one.

And yet I still enjoyed the movie. It was really, really good. The theatre was packed by the time we arrived, even though we were 45 minutes early, but with the fun kind of audience that laughs at all the right places and claps when Optimus Prime appears.

Highly recommended. A+++ will see again.

3// Barbecue.

I don't care for red meat, or even pork. I don't have any moral objection to it, I just don't like its taste. But there's a special place set aside in my heart just for ribs and their consumption. Because, oh my. I can eat three animals' ribs. It was the perfect meal for a summer holiday.

Now I get to look forward to another short week at work before the weekend.
How was your Independence Day?
