Michelle at In The Louvre tagged me for two memes in the same post — so here goes!
6 things about me:
Last year (almost to the day!) I told you 8 things about me; now let’s see if I can come up with six more.

And now for something completely different
Well, my last few posts were pretty bookish, so I thought for a change of pace I would tell you about my dear husband’s favorite website, instructables.com. Billing itself as “the world’s biggest show and tell,” this site offers instructions for all kinds of DIY projects. Some, like the aluminum siding made of beer cans, are very useful. Others, like the zen garden rake for your ashtray, are perhaps less so. All, however, are extremely entertaining.
And I thought I was a pilcrow…
You Are a Dash |
 Your life is fast paced and varied. You are realistic, down to earth, and very honest. You’re often busy doing something interesting, and what you do changes quickly. You have many facets to your personality, and you connect them together well. You have a ton of interests. While some of them are a bit offbeat, they all tie together well. You friends rely on you to bring novelty and excitement to their lives. (And while you’re the most interesting person they know, they can’t help feeling like they don’t know you well.) |
Last week in Jamaica
Doggone it, I have searched high and low for the cable that hooks the camera to the computer and I can’t find it anywhere. So instead of posting pictures of our trip I guess I’ll just have to use a thousand words.
How I spent my Thanksgiving break, by A. Geek
We probably shouldn’t have spent the whole of yesterday playing Dungeons & Dragons with Les & Ed and their boys, especially considering that we still had family visiting from out of town, not to mention a ton of other stuff we should have been doing, like putting up storm windows and so forth. But it had been ages since the last time we’d played and the invitation was just too good to resist. We showed up at their house Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and got back home a bit after 8 in the evening, tired but oh so happy. It was the best gaming I’ve had in several years, actually.
Note: what follows is a long, self-indulgent description of yesterday’s campaign, written mainly for the benefit of those who were there. If you aren’t a fan of the multi-sided dice ;) you should probably just skip this one.
Book cover meme
I saw this one at Classical Bookworm and Slow but Steady. Go to Amazon.com, type in your own name in the search box, and choose the two best covers from the results.
Sudoku update
I’m starting to feel a little disillusioned. Maybe they aren’t so addictive (for me) after all.
Ok, so the very first one I did was the one in last Saturday’s paper. I guess they are like crossword puzzles, going from easy to hard as the week progresses. So it was probably a mistake to start on a Saturday. I did manage to finish it though I had to burn some serious midnight oil and I still don’t know how I did it.
