  • I don’t like Spring

    We had a hailstorm Saturday night that lasted over 30 minutes, making it the longest hailstorm I have ever experienced or heard of. By the end those suckers were the size of baseballs and were cratering into my flower beds. Pogle’s windshield got a last minute crack and my tulips got pulverized, but otherwise house…

  • Did you know…

    That we live next door to a mountain? We went to the state park for the first time in 4 years of living here, and it is really awesome. I hope to go back and get some photos of the flowers down here — totally different from the stuff I’m used to from up north.…

  • I like spring

  • My little piggies

    These little sparrows go through a feeder full of seed a week. D:

  • Slammin’ Salmon & Back to the Future III

    Slammin’ Salmon Zongo is here! Broken Lizard continues to amaze us with their character acting. I didn’t care that much for the plot, but I always enjoy seeing BL own their characters unabashedly. Back to the Future III Great Scott! It was ok. I adored the steampunk train at the end, and now I can…

  • The Singing Compost Heap

    Yesterday as I am about to leave for work, I realize I cannot find my phone. I search all over, even retracing my steps through the yard from when I was working outside. Nada. So I ask pogle to start calling me. I walk through the house: silence. I walk around outside: silence. Then, I…

  • MacGyver of the Day

    So what do you do when you’ve dropped a spoon down a heating vent (that was open for various reasons)? Take a piece of scrap yarn, the magnet from a hard drive, a robotic claw gripping toy from your husband’s childhood, and start fishing. Hey, I got the spoon. I’m also motivated to replace the…

  • Completionism is overrated

    Just so you know, it takes forever to get 100% on Lego Harry Potter. Still at only 80%, and I’ve nearly completed my second pass through of II. D: /whinge

  • Deathspank (Steam/PC)

    Deathspank Steam (PC) Story Rating: 3/5 + bonus point for being a parody of traditional fantasy = 4/5 Environment Rating: 5/5 (I love 2D/3D environments like Paper Mario) Game Play Rating: Whee! Review: In Deathspank you play a not-so-bright hero who is questing The Artifact (because some cute redhead told you to a long time…

  • The Tale of the Frog(s)

    At the beginning of December, pogle informs me that a green tree frog is loose in his office. Apparently, it hitched a ride in on a Poinsetta, and no one there knew what to do for it. So, naturally, he brought it home. He was named Dratsab Elttil (which is an entirely different story): We…
