Poor Michelle. She’s asked for scarves and headbands for the past couple years now and I’ll mostly start crocheting, but then get distracted with other things. (Or other people have their babies and I need to finish the blankets first.) Today though, she and I went yarn shopping (yay!) and I made a little headband/ear-warmer [...]
I’m already nearly done with the first book. At the rate I’m going (since I have to split my reading time between studying and fun), I should have finished the 4 books currently available before the 5th book comes out in July. Then I’m stuck waiting for the next ones in the series! It’s like [...]
Evan, Jasmine, Rachna, and I met up with Michelle downtown today to have some dinner at the Festival of the Arts and take a look around. Unfortunately, as Jasmine pointed out, each time we try to take a brown person with us to a fair it gets far too windy. Rachna and Jasmine both lost [...]
For my fellow nerdy friends, if you’re not friends with Peter Jackson on Facebook, you should be. He posted a 10 minute long video about the start of production on The Hobbit and it’s wonderful. There are some familiar faces and some new ones, a good look around Bag End and Elrond’s chambers, and many [...]
We went out for Jasmine’s birthday dinner and managed to shorten our wait time for a table by shrinking the truth a little and saying we had fewer guests than were actually coming. The highlight of the evening was definitely passing baby Kate around (this is what happens when you bring a baby out to [...]
Jasmine and I met with our future boss Wednesday afternoon to talk about the job we’re starting in a few months. The talk went pretty well and we now know who to contact about little details here and there. What Shannon told me about that I had not thought of before though was that we’d [...]
Evan and I picked up Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars when it came out yesterday and have been busily enjoying it since. The game play is much less linear than the previous 2 games but because I’m not familiar with the story of the Clone Wars animated series, I’m not sure what’s going [...]
This picture was posted on theonering.net very recently. PJ is so adorable! He looks much better now after losing all that weight, but he still manages to look like a hobbit. I can’t wait for the movie!!!
In our quest to find something silly and entertaining to watch, Evan and I decided to start watching the old British show Red Dwarf tonight. Red Dwarf started in the late 80s, and as I’ve learned after reading its Wiki article, ran until 1999, with another season planned for 2012. It’s not really laugh-out-loud funny but [...]
The hospital is full, so the people doing admissions (Batoul, Saurabh, and me) are all just hanging out in the lounge. I’ve wisely spent my time looking at cars and laptop bags while Saurabh has found more stuff he wants from Jetpens. Apparently I’m leading him down the dark and dangerous path of pen addiction.
Sometimes I just get in the mood for overwhelming nerdiness. Like these past couple weeks have been filled mostly with Star Wars related things at home. The movies, documentaries, Lego sets, referring to patients’ families as characters, etc… I even stayed up waaaaaaaaaaaaaay later than what most people would consider reasonable to watch a fan-made [...]
For multiple reasons, I was disappointed by the gel nail polish that’s cured with UV light, so I undid it tonight and tried out a cute new color I bought with my sister today. After much (much, much) trial and error, I think I’m finally happy with it. Unfortunately, now I’m afraid to go to [...]
Jasmine came over for dinner tonight, and afterwards we worked on the Hogwarts castle she got me for Christmas. It’s almost done…as soon as it’s complete, it’ll go up on the mantle with the rest of the castle and Harry Potter sets here. It’s cute and fun and…makes me think of The Wizarding World of [...]
I sorta went crazy this month and bought myself a couple Lego sets in addition to the 2 I got for Christmas. My fingers are sore and dry from playing with little plastic bricks for so long, but I feel like a little kid again!
I found these super-awesome Star Wars posters by Tyler Stout and I want them. Evan and I are going to try to get them tomorrow when they go on sale at a random time, but the website’s quite busy and when they become available, they’ll likely sell out pretty quickly.
