New Camera

I am so proud of my new purchase! I just bought, wait...let me preface that statement...I just bought with Todd's paycheck a brand new Canon IXUS 60! It has 7 mega pixel and 3X optical zoom. Very nifty. Plus it has a very clean sleak design which appeals to my inner sense of camera feng shui.

I bought it for many reasons, but my top three are these: 1. I have been without a camera for the past year. I have bought multiple (about $20 a pop) disposable cameras. At this point, I would have bought my new camera over twice. 2. My birthday in on Friday and dammit I deserve something for being pretty and 29. 3. I really want something to take good pictures of all my travels to Cambodia and S.E. Asia. What a shame it would be to visit places like Angkor Wat with a Kodak disposable. I would kick myself in 20 years for not shelling out the cash. Actually, shelling out Todd's cash. Thanks baby I love you! I will break the news to him when he comes back from the states on the 5th. I leave on the 9th to go to Cambodia for a month, that way if he is mad I will only have to deal with it for 4 days.

Coldness

Here are some pics of Brisbane for those of you have e-mailed:)

Thanks to all you N.Americans who rub it in my face how "cold" it is up there and how fucking hot it is here. So what I have no A/C and I am forced to take 3 showers a day and drink 4 gallons of water just to stay alive? The fastest way to drop 10 pounds I tell you:)
So as you get cozy next to your fire, take note that when it gets hot I just ask myself if I should head north to the Sunshine Coast beach or south to the Gold Coast beach. Such terrible decisions.
Ahhh, enjoy my pictures!

After yoga I like to unwind with my dogs...they relax me.
