I met my technical lead for the first time today. She looked absolutely nothing like I thought she would (well, I only ever had a faceless person in my head like the people who appear in dreams), but heck, it was a bit mindblowing. I’ve been working with her for 5 months now and this is the first time I’ve seen her. Of course, I made myself look like a total dumb-ass on several occasions today. Here’s to tomorrow and more opportunities to make myself look stupid!

I’ve got a bloody FAU (Florida Atlantic University) College football chant in my head now. I’d like to thank the girl (who sounded very much like a guy) sitting right behind me during the game for getting it stuck in my head. FAU got absolutely flogged by New Mexico State, but hey, it was still pretty cool to see a game of college football. I got the tickets for free too!

Anyways, pics from the basketball game are here.

Wow! I just came back from watching the Miami Heat play the Dallas Mavericks. Heat got whipped, but I did get to see Shaquille O’Neal, which was pretty cool. The game entertainment was pretty cool and the whole place was pumped up so much! They play a whole lot of power songs throughout the whole night to keep the vibe going. It’s just amazing how much energy there is going around the place even before the game has begun.

Tonight was supposed to be the big night where I tested out my new telephoto lens, specifically designed for sports and nature photography. There was a sign that said “no flash photography”. That was cool – from where I was sitting flash photography would’ve been useless anyway. I walked up to the guards and they said “sorry sir, we can’t let you in with the bag”. I said, “but it’s only got my camera stuff in it”. I showed them my lens and they said “sorry, we can’t let you in with professional photography equipment”. I was stunned, shocked, and a little peeved. Then I thought “hehe. They said professional”. I said “well, how about this lens?” and I pulled out my normal lens. They replied “haven’t you got anything smaller?” and I shook my head. They said as long as the lens was under 6 inches it was ok, so I had to go in with my normal lens only. I hope this doesn’t happen again. I’m going to get really pissed off if I go to sports games and I can’t use my new lens.

There were some celebrities there as well which was quite a bonus – Boris Becker, Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova. Pretty cool, huh? I was able to spot Boris Becker in the audience and got a snap of him. I was only able to get a snap of Enrique and Anna up on the scoreboard as I couldn’t find them in the audience. Pics are coming soon (once my slow arse computer finishes processing them 🙁

The non-worksafe ones. Ok, some of them are probably sorta worksafe in some parallel universe, but whatever. Click here to see them in their raw glory. Note: Yes, some of the pictures contain nudity, so don’t click on the link if you’re easily offended!
