Darma Learns To Bow

Atsuko, with a little trickery, was able to get to get Darma to bow.  It is a very cute little video, one that ends with Darma quickly changing her attention to something more important.

Grean Tea Oatmeal Cookies

I made cookies Sunday night. Turned out pretty good so here is the recipe!

Gaming @ DTwenty Games

It's no secret that I play Dungeons and Dragons.  I have a great time on Wednesday night playing a weekly schedule brawl with a loose storyline.  Once or twice a month, a group of us get together to adventure in the world of Athas and the Dark Sun campaign setting.  It was unfortunate though that this week we were missing two of our regular players.  Our scheduled story was postponed for a little more light-hearted though no less fun adventure fighting evil lizard men that had tricked our adventurers into believing that they were attended a wrestling match.  It was a fun 5 hours, and I got a delicious scone as well.  Yum!  I wanted to post a few pictures... they aren't the best but what do you expect from a phone?

Darma Video

Darma's leg was very touchy yesterday.  Whenever I tapped it she kicked.  It looked like she was trying to start a motorcycle or something for some reason.  We shot a small video towards the end.  It's a stupid video, but Darma is cute and that is all that matters!

A Quick View Of Seattle Pacific University

I was trying out some of the features on my new phone last week and decided to take an HD video of the SPU campus.  It is short and pretty quick but shows a decent bit of the campus.  I'll put it this way, SPU is small... very small!  Video after jump.

It's Cold Here!

Yesterday the Pacific Northwest was blanketed in snow.  Deep, freezing cold snow that shut down everything.  Our friend John is working from home.  Atsuko was told not to come into work for the rest of the week.  And, the only other day I had to work the university closed.  I-5 is basically impassable too.  It is a crazy mess outside.  It snowed over night into Monday morning.  Snowed more Monday afternoon, then hailed, then snowed into the evening.  Stories of people taking 10 hours to get home on I-5 have been all over the news.  It is by all accounts pretty insane!  We are trying to stay warm.  Last night we made a one log fire, today the wood we have is too wet so we are running the heater.  At the moment, Atsuko is baking to keep warm!  I am prepared for a very expensive energy bill this month.   I made sure to get some video and take pictures during the day. It's kind of a hodgepodge of shots both outside and inside, with a few nice ones of our fire!  They are posted are the jump...
