toys, toys, random visits

Today saw me heading to the airport to pick up Roger, his mum, and his sister (who is now also studying over here in Melbourne). We absolutely piled Sam to the brim, and he even managed to fly down those freeway on-ramps, overtaking Commodores and Land Rovers. I love my car.

Toy number 1:
Got my new lens. I tell you what - this is the toy to end all toys. A fantastic lens - head to my flickr account to see some of the shots I took tonight. Lovely.

Roger and I spent the rest of the afternoon driving his sister and mother around to various places to get sister sorted with her moving into International House. When that was all done, we got back to Roger's place.

Toy number 2:
Helped Rog install his new wireless network over the apartment. I still find wireless just so cool. But even cooler was what we were using to sort it all out - his brand new 15-inch G4 PowerBook.

I want one.

Finally headed off to work after getting his wireless card installed in his desktop too - and I tell you what, I miss not having a house wiht a computer in every room. There's just something so...right about it.

Random visit:
Was halfway through my work for the night when Richelle sms'd basically saying "I'm lost in St Kilda, if I find a cafe, want to come join me?" - an offer I wasn't going to turn down, especially with the mind-numbing work. Told her I'd get there asap after work was done, and headed down to sit and chat with her for the better part of an hour. Twas great.

But undoubtedly (sorry Chel) the best news is the new lens. Seriously. It's fantastic. And my kit is now complete.

Finally.
