Clothing Drama
I bought some awesome arm warmers and decided to wear them over my long-sleeved shirt yesterday. Abi said it looked okay, but I wasn't sure if I looked really cool or like a 1980's space ranger. Jill (my manager) said I looked good as long as I didn't point my fingers at things and say "pew pew pew!" Which then made me wish I was a space ranger, ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in Snowland
So . . . it snowed! And it snowed a lot. There's a good six inches outside and the snow's still falling. Since for the Greater Seattle Area this is tantamount to the apocalypse, Abi and I felt compelled to leave the condo and investigate.
( And so we decided to have an adventure. ) -
Yet another awesome conversation

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
- I got up at 5am on Black Friday to go shopping with my mom, and it was awesome. I loved it! There was the perfect amount of people out - not enough to make the stores feel overly crowded, and just enough to make me feel excited - and Belle Square was decorated beautifully. It's nice to be able to get things on sale, but mostly the day was about ( Read more... ) -
Arts and Crafts with Abi and Jamie
When Abi and I both have projects that we need to get done we like to do them at the same time, for the obvious reason that it's fun to do things together. (Of course, while I work on things like embroidering badly, she'll be making fine jewelry, but whatever.) Here is a basic summary of what our time together looks like ( Read more... ) -
Why do something you enjoy?
Yesterday I had a customer disgustedly trying to pick the shortest possible Nora Roberts novel that she thought she could stomach, which is funny because Nora Roberts is a very popular romance author and people usually want to tell me how great she is. Apparently the customer hates romances but felt that she needed to read a popular one as research ( Read more... ) -
Haha, I don't even remember writing this
At work today, I found this piece of paper taped inside my bin:
Dear Jamie -
Today you sold a video to a shifty guy for $30. He might return it.
Love,

It's so sad . . .
It's the end of an era ( Read more... ) -
Live Action Sailor Moon Finale!
Last night was a celebration in honor of us (Mike, Shawna, Tiff, Clint, Jeremy, Garrett, me) finally finishing the Live Action Sailor Moon series that we've been sporadically watching for the last year or so. I brought Sailor Moon nachos, and there were crescent rolls, and sushi, and Tuxedo and Sailor Moon cookies, and Shawna dressed as Sailor ( Read more... ) -
The Thinking Man's Video Game
After the DC Comics vs. Mortal Combat game announcement, one of my co-worker's friends wanted to make his own spin-off of the game: Moral Combat, where all the characters are famous philosophers! Their attacks would be based on their philosophies, like Descarte's "I Think Therefore I Slam." He felt that deconstructionism would make for a wicked
