Roscoe

Sleepy dog. This dog belongs to some relatives of mine for the moment, but they don't think they'll be able to keep him (he scares the cat? that might have been why). That's too bad.

Sweet Tie

Taken from the Sharks-Isles postgame interview with Ted Nolan the other day. I actually do like the pattern and colors...

More Model Home Fun

Same city, different development. This is worse than the previous one in that there are windows from another house right there. Is this a "in" thing with the homes being built now, like kitchen islands?

Model Home Fun

Photo taken at a model home in San Bruno, California.
What's up with the giant window next to the bathtub? I mean, I guess the view is nice, but...it leaves one a bit exposed, yes?

Semper Fidelis

There may have been another word on that cake, but I was late to the party. One of my cousins is heading off to join the Marines. The family has mixed feelings about this, but this is really what he wants to do, so we'll support him.

Crossover

I call it "crossover" because this post really belongs over on through the back loop, but due to some computer issues, this is the only way I can post pictures right now. Anyway, I bought this yarn for a going-away-scarf project, and while it was pretty as a hank, I'm not quite sold on the colorway as it looks here. We'll see how it goes. I'll post the finished scarf over on the other blog once it's done.

Outside

Holy crap, the sun's out today. I feel like one of those kids on Venus in A Wrinkle in Time when the sun finally came out. Remember that book?

Flavors

So...why have cherry *and* wild cherry?

[edit:I noticed later that the wild cherry box was marked "sugar free". Still, though.]

New Light Fixture

New light fixture in my bedroom. The patched-up hole to the left is where the old light fixture was; this new one is in the center of the room. It's also directly over my bed, so it'll take me a couple of days to get used to staring up and seeing that thing.

Office Flair 2008

Welcome to the 2008 edition of my office flair. This isn't all of it, but I wanted to point out some of my newer acquisitions. From left to right:

-The R2-D2 toy has been featured before; it's a Japanese import that I bought online, I forget where now.
-The jellyfish lamp was a purchase from ThinkGeek.
-The sunglasses are the Oakley Grapevine model. They're also not flair, but they're in the picture, so...
-The picture I bought from a friend of mine who does that stuff on the side...I don't think he has a website yet, otherwise I'd link to it. The frame I got from Target.
-The notepad is from the Anne Taintor collection.
