Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, site updates
Yes, really.
We’ve spotted Santa at Starbucks a few times while Mom and I were mall-walking. The first time it happened, I tried to double back and and nonchalantly shoot a picture with my Treo camera. However, he saw me through the window and waved. I was too embarrassed to bother with a picture and sheepishly [...]

Last weekend, Mom and I took pictures of the “Heart in the Park” event at the MOA. There were hearts plenty, and the sculptures were fun and cute. Local folks who are planning to attend Knit-Out & Crochet this weekend will be able to see these, since the event does not end until February [...]

Q*bert
Posted by limedragon | Filed under computer games, fashion, general
One good thing from the ’80s decade: Q*bert. If you played video console games or home video games (Atari, Colecovision, etc), you most likely played this game. I absolutely loved Q*bert, and it always pops into my mind whenever I see tumbling blocks, slanted squares, or cube-type patterns. It was also a colorful, maybe even [...]

I wanted to post this yesterday, but couldn’t… my wireless connection with Comcast was acting up all weekend. I finally became fed up and watched some TV and knit some more on the Sixth Sense socks.
