Pictures Galore

You know, this is the second weekend in a row that my voice has not been able to keep up with me. This weekend, I was left with no other choice but to croak and wheeze my way through the entire weekend. I've had such a crazy busy schedule this past week that I'm not exactly sure what happened to my voice. It was intact on Thursday, but by Friday, it was gone. And I spent the rest of the weekend sounding like I swallowed a very annoying frog. Very weird. I guess, with a combination of crazy work stuff and some personal obligations that I've been trying to get out of the way...I've been talking too much...maybe? Although, if you ask any of my friends that I've seen these past two weekends, they wouldn't believe that I talk all that much...since by the time I see them, my throat has already decided to close up and my voice just ends up sounding horrible...so I don't end up talking all that much. Yeah, it really has been a rough couple weekends on my voice. And trust me, it has not been pleasant. But why is it that my voice is usually perfectly intact for work, but on the weekends, when I have super cool plans, it chooses to disappear? Psh. Go figure. I'll keep my fingers crossed that my voice will be back to normal for this upcoming weekend...

On the upside, I was finally able to finish going through all my vacation pictures and got them uploaded and captioned for your all enjoyment. I know, I know, you guys don't care...but hey, I care and can finally say that they're done. Finally. Anyway, if you're interested, check 'em out. Although, I must issue a disclaimer...I went to Japan specifically during cherry blossom season to see cherry blossoms...and well, my pictures definitely reflect that. There are a lot of cherry blossom pictures. Just a fair warning. But keep in mind that when I got back from my trip, I had over 2,000 pictures remember? But I only uploaded and captioned about 250...so that's not too terrible, right? Haha.

On a sidenote, cheers to the Sharks for making it to the second round of the playoffs. Wahoo. Below is another video I took from Game 2 of the playoffs (I forgot to upload it last week with the other video)...the crowd was getting all hyped up before the players took to the ice. The video doesn't do it justice, but it was actually really cool. I have to keep the video files small so I can upload them, so sorry the video is so short. :-/
