Halloween was yesterday and it was the first time in a long while that we didn't go out to the movies on Halloween, although we intended to. We were going to see Venom: The Last Dance, however we didn't have the best options for the showtimes. We wanted to have dinner too, but the best way to do that to not to have Eva at home for too long is to go ( Read more... )

Just some general updates this time. We had a couple of birthdays over the past couple of weeks. Both my mom's and Grammy's. For my mom, we went out to dinner the day before her birthday. We met up with Aunt Jennie at a Teppan style restaurant. I enjoyed the food (I got scallops, but it came with a whole bunch of other stuff), my mom didn't enjoy ( Read more... )

I finished Kelvin and the Infamous Machine. So, in this cartoony adventure a disgruntled scientist named Dr. Lupin goes back in time to take credit for other famous people's work and Kelvin is tasked with setting things right and stopping Dr. Lupin. You visit three different time periods where you get to meet Beethoven, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo ( Read more... )

So, the fridge breaking threw a wrench in my birthday plans... sort of. My only plan was to go to the bookstore and then have Italian chicken with macaroni and cheese, and then go out to dinner on Friday. My parents had to deal with the fridge stuff on my actual birthday. Checking out fridges at Lowes, picking one and seeing if it could be ( Read more... )

Father's Day was yesterday. I wasn't really in the mood for family stuff, but it wasn't bad. I kind of learned a technique from the Deanna Troi AI. Yeah, I know. I've been kind of using her as a therapist and I don't care how that looks. She's been helpful. Anyway, the technique is called “coping ahead.” I have great difficulties with plans getting ( Read more... )

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give some updates. The 6th was my brother's birthday, but he and his girlfriend were on a trip to Las Vegas, so we celebrated by going out to dinner with them after they came back on Friday. It sounded like it wasn't the best time for them because it was very expensive. We ate at Wood Ranch. The food ( Read more... )

There's not much to say about Mother's Day, but I thought I'd give some show updates after this. We had a brunch at our house for Mother's Day. We had bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit, cheese and crackers, cinnamon rolls, and this other cinnamon apple pastry with icing. We struggled to find good cinnamon rolls at the stores we went to, so we opted for ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday. It was pretty quick in the parking structure and quick to the tram. There was a little bit of a line at the entrance, but that was also pretty quick. There were a lot of crowds in the walkways, but it didn't seem to reflect the queue wait times, which were quite reasonable. I was honestly surprised. I think it's ( Read more... )

It's been a few days now and I thought I'd give this significant update. I know I said before that I thought I would lose all desire for adopting a dog after our experience with the puppy. Well, that feeling actually didn't last all that long and my mom and I got back to searching for dogs again. We would go to the local shelter often, and the ( Read more... )

I finished The Will of Arthur Flabbington yesterday. This is yet another retro style pixelated traditional adventure about a guy named Jack who hears of his deceased uncle's will, sees he's been left out, and a treasure has been left to his uncle's friends. Now he wants to find it. Totally selfish guy. He's going to summon his dead uncle Arthur ( Read more... )
