Amaya review in National Post

Happy birthday to my pal Paul Kwinn, the inspiration of my song, Paul Stanley Kwinn.

I was delighted to discover that a new Indian restaurant was opening in our neighbourhood and went to check it out last Friday on my own. I strongly suspect that it was only the first of many visits. You can see my review of Amaya the Indian Room on blogTO.

A version of my review also appeared in the National Post today. It was very difficult to get a good photo in such a low light setting, which is one of the reasons I'm going to be buying a digital SLR.

Many thanks to my friend Ray for lending me his Canon Rebel. I've been playing around with it every night while going through the user's manual, and I'm lovin' it. Jeff was on the couch, proofreading my novel, and I kept taking pictures of him as I experimented with various settings. He was very patient with me until I started taking macro close-ups of his toes.

Right now, I'm leaning heavily towards getting a Canon Rebel XTi and a Canon EFS 17-85mm lens. Thanks so SO much for your advice (about the cameras AND audiobooks), everyone; it's much appreciated. My audiobook round-up will be posted in a future Blathering.

And happy Fourth of July to all you Americans out there!
