Sweet ride

Behold my new Violet Proto-Drake, reward for completing the holiday meta-achievement “What a Long Strange Trip it’s Been” in World of Warcraft.
Is there anything cooler than a bright fuchsia dragon mount?  No sir, there is not.

Sunny Days…

Sesame Street flashbacks anyone? =)
Haven’t been doing much baking lately, much to the chagrin of my officemates.  But I have been knitting!  Folks who are on Ravelry will no doubt have already seen these, as I’ve plastered them all over the relevant forums there.  But for the rest of you, look, I made clothes! =P

Still Alive

While that’s certainly a good topic after not posting for a while, it’s actually the name of the song that’s been in my head for the last two days. It’s the ending song from the game Portal, and it is very catchy! Here’s a link:

Do Doo Do Dooo Doo Do Dooo Dooo Doo Do Dooo… (I don’t know the rest of the words /shame)
Woot, this Saturday is the first Bears pre-season game!  Unfortunately, I suppressed my intense desire to buy an HDTV, but I will have my NFL Gameday package, so I will be watching all the games, woot!  […]

Summer Movie Round-up

Let’s take a break from all the food and baking for a moment to talk about movies. Most likely in rebellion against the longer hours I’ve been having to work since my co-worker went on leave, I snuck out a bit early (it’s so sad that 5:30 is early =/ ) a couple days […]
