A big "Happy Thanksgiving" to all you Americanese out there! Enjoy the turkey and cranberry sauce, guys. Tomorrow, the US shopping season begins in earnest. Ah, malls...what better way to celebrate the holiday than to spend a lot of money? There ain't no better way, I tells ya.
Had my last Spanish class today. Am I fluent now? No. No, I'm not. Let's not even get into that. I'm starting the next course around February of next year, I think. We'll see if that helps.
I got myself a new camera while I was in the US of A; a Canon PowerShot S40 digital camera, with a (ooh! aah!) four megapixel CCD, and a 256 megabyte memory card. What this means is that I can take lots and lots of high-resolution pictures, and rarely run out of space. Wheee! Here's a picture I took whilst visiting Vancouver (a beauuutiful city, by the way; well worth a visit if you're ever in that neighbourhood):
This picture has been massively scaled down from its original size, of course, but trust me when I say that the image quality is astounding. I'm very happy with the camera. It gets two thumbs up from Ragnar.
