The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition

One of my favorite games when I was a kid was the Monkey Island series.  I’m not gonna bother trying to explain what Monkey Island is but I will say that this game was made back in the days when games required thought and out of the box thinking to complete.  [...]

Vodka, Skittles and Gummie Bears

Not acutal flaskes used…=)

Last week was Dave Sanders’s bachelor party.  I wanted to make something special that would look cool and get everybody really drunk at the same time…=)  My solution?  Skittle infused Vodka and Vodka infused Gummy Bears.   A few months ago I stumbled upon the recipe for Skittle infused Vodka over here [...]

Wow…just wow…

I have no words for this…I went over to look to see what Frazz was up too and what do I see?  I see Frazz asleep holding a seed…yes folks…she fell asleep WHILE eating.

Anyhoo…quote of the day!

Punch-Out!! (Wii Version)

Since the last incarnation of Punch-Out!! that came out for the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) I’ve been (we all have been) waiting for the next version of this game to come out.  The last two consoles (N64 and Game Cube) had some great franchises on them and even launched a few of them…but they [...]

Pagan Weddings

So Bonnie’s wedding was a first for me…not because I’ve never been to a wedding…but because it was a Pagan ceremony.  Don’t get me wrong…there is nothing wrong with it…I’ve just never been to one before.  It seemed very familar though…there was a wedding party (though all guys and all but one were in Kilts), [...]

Bellingham and Washington as a whole Final Thoughts…

As I said earlier…Washington is a beautiful state…and Bellingham is a great city.  Trees everywhere, the ghettos not really being ghettos, getting a two bedroom apartment for 600 bucks, Cuban cigars are just an hour’s drive away, Gerbils can be bought and owned…the list goes on.  But being a native of California I really didn’t [...]

Grandma by the 101

Last year I went up to Piratefest up for some drunken pirate fun.  I had two choices…the 5 which would save me an hour but be a really boring drive visually or drive up the 101 and have see some truly beautiful scenery.  I choose the 101 =) .  On my way up I saw [...]

I’m on a bus!

So like the buses in Washington have signs in English and French. Whereas in California they are in English and Spanish…not sure why I find this so interesting…but I do.

It’s always interesting to me to find out about the differences between states and even countries that the locals find to be the norm…but the [...]

Realizations…

I have come to a small realization…the purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts…my feelings…and things that I find interesting with the outside world.  But not just that, but to keep a record of it so that 50 years from now I can look back and see the stuff I’ve written about…a record [...]

Kitty!

From the moment I stepped in to Jacinda’s car and saw Bumper (a ceramic cow on a spring) I said I want one in my car.  The problem was I was 14 and had no car…=)  Four years later I got my first car and I still wanted a Bumper like ceramic animal on a [...]
