Who Loves Their Pope??

I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile, it’s been going on for awhile…Over at my boyfriend’s comic, some of us have “webcam portals” which we use to photoshop our head onto something else generally.  Well, Derek and his friend Chris started photoshopping the pope’s head into different images.  They call it PopeFight 2049 and read more

Spook-tacular!

Halloween is the best holiday.  I hadn’t carved a pumpkin in several years, but they were only $.08 a pound so Derek and I decided to pick some up, and then picked up a little packet of carving tools that came with patterns.  We both wanted to use the pirate skull pattern and here is read more

Quite Right Afterall.

Something good came from my not-quite-right-weekend last weekend.  I delivered the hat that I designed and knit to my friend Kristi and she loved it.  Now I’m just on a quest for a crochet/knit pattern for a lily.  I’ve been playing with designing one, but keep getting distracted by other things…You know, like school and read more

Dirty Head…

So, I’m at work.  I’ve finally gotten to the point of being able to produce something.  YAY! However, my printer was using woefully old drivers and printing like poo.  So I am currently sitting here cleaning the heads, and doing print head alignment.  Its thrilling I tell you, thrilling. I got a lesson in font read more

Can I Have More Hours in a Day Please?

*note* most links open pop-up windows to photos*/note* Tonight I have sound bites, as promised.  I also have really crappy video, I apologize for the quality, but we took the video with Derek’s digital camera and then I just extracted the sound.  The first one is a discussion of the flu vaccine and how Canada’s read more

Sleepy.

I am sleepy. Michael Moore update sometime after 6pm Pacific tomorrow.  Sorry guys, Tuesdays are super long and I have no focus.  I do, however, have photos and sound clips to share tomorrow.

Hail to the Cheese

I may never be able to leave the Pacific Northwest for no other reason than I don’t know what I would do without my cheese.  My favorite is the Pepper Jack but they also make fantastic cheddar.  I’ve always been a big cheese eater (except for american cheese, that stuff is mostly vile) but this read more

Michael Moore.

Busy day today, and there will be a full post about my Michael Moore experience tomorrow (probably late).  I just don’t have the time tonight.  It was excellent and there are quite a few photos.  Derek, Chris and I mananged to sit in the front row, and at one point Chris made a comment to read more

Not quite right.

I had a weekend of things not working out quite like they were supposed to/I wanted them to.  First off was Friday night.  While making quesadillas for our dinner, I discovered that the George Foreman grill’s grill plate extends to just slightly under the lip of the machine.  After setting it on a cord so read more

Hooray for Halloween!

New skin up to celebrate this, the best of holidays. Also, I have, in my grubby little hands, two tickets to see Michael Moore on Monday! EEEE!!!

Bleh!

Morning is my least favorite time of the day. That is all. Happy Friday folks!

No Child Left…Well, Wherever.

I’m watching the debates and its really frustrating to me that Bush, whenever asked about anything relating to jobs or minimum wage, turns it into something about education and how well he’s educating our children.  About how there’s so much more funding for students.  Well, I can tell you that that’s crap.  With an expected read more
