9317 – Saturday
Ah… Shots and then free as a bird.
Ice cream at Solomon’s cone island – I got a soft serve mix chocolate and vanilla w/ chocolate jimmies (erm, sprinkles), and BHK got a small vanilla soft serve cone, dipped in a cherry shell. both were yummy.
Checked out bikes… it’s going to be simpler to buy one than ship mine up from Florida, I think.
Hit Aardvark and picked up a few goodies – that place is habit-forming. We headed home to play our newly aquired treats.
got Hive – pieces bigger than expected (BHK won one, I won one)
got Kahuna – We’ve been playing this on Yucata.de for ages, and discovered there was a comfy form-factor – (BHK won)
got Katan Dice – missing pad, already sent for replacement. We’ll play it next week.
Also picked up Archie in the 80’s for BHK, and the umbrella academy trade for myself.
played If Wishes were Fishes finally – cute game, maybe a little clunky, but could be better once learned or with more players. (I won)
Arkham Horror is a lot more complex out of the box – we weren’t looking to play a 2-4 hour game, so we saved that for another night. The other games could be picked up in 5 minutes played in 20 or so. Kahuna maybe twice that.
Next games for us to play from the game pile are canasta caliente, rook, killer bunnies, gloom, marriage material, and grave robbers from outer space
Went to Selby Sub Shoppe with in-laws – I got a veggie sub w/ seasoned fries, bhk got a chicken parm w/ smiley face potatoes, Larry a burger with crinkle cut fries, Chris a garlic white pizza.
Things seen on Thursday – a toy blimp at nice & fleasy antiques
.
BHK also saw some cute stuff at the library, including a mosquito wearing an I pod.

and a cootie catcher.
She’s caught cooties! I knew it!
Sporepedia is already publicly accessible. This is the online field guide to all the creatures people have created with Spore, and the source from which the game will eventually populate the planets you play in with AI-controlled versions of the races people have made.
The incredible thing about Sporepedia is that those thumbnail images you see are the creature files. Drag that image right from your browser to the game window, and it loads that creature in all its scampering glory. The creature’s DNA is actually coded into the metadata of a 25 kilobyte PNG image.

KINDERTRAUMA is about the movies, books, and toys that scared you when you were a kid. It’s also about kids in scary movies, both as heroes and villains. And everything else that’s traumatic to a tyke!

Writer’s Block: Gender Bender
Honestly, I lean to respecting women more than men, because of the bulk of crap they have to deal with on a regular basis just due to gender politics.

Happy Birthday to Ldy, my littler big sis! she’s …what, 5 again this year?
I *still* have “froggy went a-coutrin’, he did ride” in my head.
I must’ve done something dreadfully bad to deserve this. Great… now I have pet shop boys in my head.
“What have I done? What have I done? What have I done to deserve this?”
Looking forward to a weekend without feeling too ill.
Artomatic. Book Sale. Father’s Day. Hive. Music by the beach? Gardening? Relaxing? A ride on the Trolley, maybe?
Am I forgetting something?
Maybe our Swarm of the Snakehead screener will arrive in time for a weekend viewing! (Writer Seth Hurwitz spotted my mention of it in my journal, and was kind enough to shoot us a review copy!)
BHK made a big salad from stuff at the farmers market – lots of yummy breads and other goodies, too. (Blueberry sun tea, some onion spread for the bread… it’s just all very delicious) – our neighbor went early, and brought her some corn and strawberries, too.
Tons of fireflies out tonight! That made it feel especially summery.
After supper, we watched “I now pronounce you chuck and larry” – it was what I expected, cute.
Random Newtcam / Pyecam archive shots – (They shoudl really be called Officecam and loftcam, since both boys go on both cams all the time.)
note the windows – most ~ at 10pm, but lightning kept striking nearby.
additional kitty pictures added for archival purposes. first is another leap shot.
