Moved In!

After a month long of packing and grueling hours of lifting and moving things, we've (family) finally moved in! Not everything is in place yet, still can't cook food and need to eat out/order for the next couple of days but at least we're settled down! I won't forget my old neighborhood but I can't say I'll miss them haha I never really knew them too much so yeah. Oh yeah, later on the during the day while I was dropping my friend off that helped us, there was a construction on the route the GPS (we decided to use it, idk why LOL) and spent about 5 minutes getting lost (apparently we were getting lost?) by the very same GPS that lead us to the construction site. K pz time to sleep!

Re: Camera - Rethinking and Redoing options?

Well I was discussing about DSLRs with my uncle and what we talked about really made me re-think and re-do my options because I don't want to blow lots and lots of money on camera & lenses. He advised that I do all my shopping on Craigslist because there are so many noobies who under price their lenses, bodies (not human body!), flashes, diffusers, filters and what not... I was quite surprised that he bought every thing from Craigslist other than one of his Sigma 28-70MM f/2.8-4. Looks like I'll be purchasing a Nikon D70(s) because I've seen quite many that were severely under priced in a short time. With that extra cash, I can maybe purchase another lens or some other accessory like a bag. I plan on purchasing something similar to a Tokina/Sigma/Nikkor18-55MM f3.5-5, used of course and a 55-200MM f3.5-5. I thought about a f2.8 55-200MM but realized they're quite pricey and it'll cost close to a grand. Looks like I'll have major savings after expecting to spend almost 2k!

Canucks sign Mikael Samuelsson

Mike Gillis finally got off with his free agent signing after re-signing the Sedin twins just before they were bound to be unrestricted free agents. The right hander Swede is staying in Vancouver for 3 years at 2.5M each season. That is of course that he won't be traded but it'd be foolish to do so unless his production is sub-par. He should be able to play with the twins and create great chemistry - all 3 of them being Swedish is just pure coincidence! Gillis has about 7.2M left to re-sign RFA's Wellwood, O'Brien and Hansen or else someone might pull a Kevin Lowe and overpay them! Canucks also need a backup goalie seeing that Sanford is likely leaving and Schneider will want a lot of playing time... which is next to impossible if you're on the same team as Luongo. I'm hoping he [Gillis] signs a puck moving defenceman like Francois Beauchemin. He is a puck moving D-Man, right?
