Picture Pages
Should you like to some of pictures from the recent trip to Thailand and Cambodia (with a brief stop in Stockholm), I finally have a set roughly sorted, captioned, and posted here. Be warned, there are a lot of pictures, and this is only 20% of the total number I took. However, the photos are all have thumbnails so you can skip around as you wish ( Read more... ) -
I'm alive
Ugh. I get back from a trip only to come down with an illness a few days after getting back. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, as travel (particularly my style of travel) tends to be pretty tiring, plus being in contact with so many different people (shhh! be quiet she_is_kaygee!)

The houses across the street still had power, and seemed to be taunting us with their cheery lighted-ness. Fortunately enough of our friends are geeks and came equipped ( Read more... ) -
The secret ingredient is crack
It's cookie baking time again. Thanks to a recent post by tony_m, I've also tried making these evil, evil cookies. I followed a suggestion from one of the comments to add about 3/4 teaspoon of good cinnamon. Yum! Even the dough is de-lish! I've never been so diligent in scraping a bowl of cookie dough clean. Oh, the cookies themselves are great too. ( Read more... ) -
Too much cuteness
Someone from work is aware of my fondness of fuzzy animals with long ears and fluffy tails, and sent me this link to too much cuteness.
