"The cart size of the DS makes it impossible to put out ports of any of our old graphic adventures. There's literally not enough room on those carts to put the games out." - Jeffrey Gullett, LucasArts assistant producer, from Game|Life
Yes, Mr. Gullett, I can see how to fit those big old games in DS.

Here is the little old lady's house in Ballard, that is on the lot where a commerical complex (including a Trader Joe's and a gym) is being built.
- Cats and Mice.
-
2.13.2008
For Christmas, my mom knitted these wool mice, and filled them with organic catnip. Do the kitties like them? Why, yes, they like them very much.
- These Cookies are Not a Lie.
-

These are basically sugar cookies, filled with jam, dusted with powdered sugar, and drizzled with chocolate. The green ones are filled with mint jelly, and red ones are filled with our homemade raspberry jam.

Last night the husbad and I carved a pumpkin. We're very pleased with our Jack O' Lantern, even if it is a little drooly.
- Halloween Cupcakes - Success!
-
10.8.2007
Success! These Halloween cupcakes came out much better than those from last year, especially in the frosting department. But I do wish I'd had paper liners.

Sweet and cute and fluffy, times two. What more could you ask for?

6.25.2007
Here are some photos for our recent anniversary trip to Victoria. Though the husband took the photo of the fire juggler, I took all the rest.
We went to the Butterfly Gardens, an indoor butterfly zoo. I don't know recall the name of the large blue butterflies, but they're quite tricky to photograph, because they very rarely open up their wings when they land. I got very lucky - twice!
We also spent a lot of time at Butchart Gardens. Lovely. I also dig snapdragons.
- Skagit Valley Tulips

These are some of the photos I took from our trip to the Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley on Sunday. That evening, I ordered a bunch of tulip bulbs to plant in fall.

The pink exploded all over Seattle this month. I took this picture much earlier in the month.

- Arctic Invasion
-
1.12.2007
It freakin' snowed again. Everyone always says Seattle never gets this kind of weather, but Chudson says that we always get the Arctic fronts first. Here's a picture of it snowing on our apartment just after we got home Wednesday night.
The hubby and I both got new cameras for Christmas, so took them outside and we both took several pictures. It got a little meta.
The apartments highest on the hill have a nice view of downtown Seattle.
This yellow cab was crazy. He kept trying to get up the steep steep hill that larger cars were having trouble with. Look under his front, and you can see he's got a traffic cone stuck there!
The little mailvan in the distance was working hard, and just barely managing to get up the hill. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, eh?
- Snow, Snow!

A mid-day shot of our apartment under the snow. It's somewhat thin, but very crunchy because we're still below freezing in the middle of the day.
- Me and My Office
-
11.21.2006
We have a saying at the office. "People who do real work have dual monitors."
Check out that nice tall comfy pleather chair. It goes "poof" when I sit in it. Special thanks to Mey for the awesome posters.
Why, yes, that bright thing in the back of my office is a window. I can see the real world though it. This image shows, clockwise from the lower left corner, my window view from left to right.

If you've screwed up your frosting, just cut out some shapes as stencils, and sprinkle confectioner's sugar over them.
- White Water Rafting
-
7.21.2006
When I was working at Hollywood Video, we had took a white water rafting trip as a team building activity. At first I was very worried about falling out or being very bad at rafting, but it was really awesome! It was the most fun I've ever had on a work day!
Ah, the Clackamas river. What better way to cool down on a 105° day? In both these pictures, I'm on the left side, second helmet back.
- The Balancing Rock

Here's the Balancing Rock from the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. No tricks on the other side, it's just like that.
- Groom's Cake
-
5.28.2006
Here's the groom's cake from a recent wedding we attended. Lucky groom! I got a little of that action, and it was fine.
- Tulips
-
4.10.2005
I love tulips. Here are some I grew in my backyard. They're bulbs, and the awesome thing about bulbs is that for the first year, all the work is already done. Just toss them into a hole, and water sometimes. It's so easy.
- What is it?

Seriously, I don't know. I know it's in Disneyland, but damned if I can figure out what it is.
