I love my sweetie pie! We finally set a date, July 9th 2006 at the New Otani garden! I am excited. 

I picked up a T-Mount adapter for my Canon EOS 20D and hooked it up to my microscope. The [pictures](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1252-1-first_photomicroscopy.html) didn't come out all that great, but I will keep trying. Although the chili powder shot looks pretty cool in an abstract kind of way.

I have been drooling over the extremely fast and slow focusing Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L lens, and a few days ago, I went to Samy's Camera and bought it. I really love the lens although I'm still getting used to the extremely shallow DOF that the gaping 1.2 f-stop creates. I also going to need to pick up a neutral density filter if I want to take daytime photos with a wide open aperture. Here are [the](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1263-1-adventures_in_little_tokyo.html) [three](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1262-1-left_handed_warrior.html) [sets](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1260-1-skynet_and_ufo_at_respect.html) I have uploaded so far. I love this lens!

Penelope and I [ate at Kobe Ramen](http://blogging.la/archives/2006/01/kobe_ramen_and_back_to_suehiro.phtml) last night. It was ok, but I think we should have tried the noodles instead of random small dishes. In other news I have posted a bunch more photos from the last year that I have been hoarding: * [Adventures in Little Tokyo](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1263-1-adventures_in_little_tokyo.html) * [Left Handed Warrior](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1262-1-left_handed_warrior.html) * [Kachinas](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1261-1-kachinas.html) * [Skynet and UFO @ Respect](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1260-1-skynet_and_ufo_at_respect.html) * [Rewind 2005](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1259-1-rewind_2005.html) * [Craze @ History](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1258-1-craze_at_history.html) * [Raymond Roker @ Muse](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1257-1-raymond_roker_at_muse.html) * [Subflo @ Muse](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1256-1-subflo_at_muse.html) * [Silver @ Samurai Sundaze + CRS @ Zen Sushi](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1255-1-silver_at_samurai_and_crs_at_zen_sushi.html) * [Catalina Vacation in Avalon](https://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1254-1-catalina_vacation_in_avalon.html)
