Mordecai

Borderlands and Borderlands 2 are pretty much my favorite games right now. I am pretty much always a sniper, but in Borderlands 2 even though Zero is the main sniper, anyone can really be a sniper. So my main character is Zero and I am trying some others. Mordecai was the sniper in Borderlands. He'd kind of an idiot, but better than Big Dumb Brick. :)

Grandpa's Soda Fountain and Ice Cream Parlor

I suppose I don't really have much more to say about this, but the ice cream was pretty good.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yo, happy thanksgiving, Americans. Hope you are eating well. That's what I'm doing today.

The New Moon Cafe

Yum. Now I want hashbrowns. We are going to Olympia to drop Isaac off later this week, so maybe we will get to go again. It is also really close to Danger Room, the best comic shop ever, so there is an even greater chance we will go since we are definitely going to Danger Room. I plan to get Saga, trade 1, and Adventure Time, trade 1. And of course, maybe something else because that place is so awesome.
Anyways, after we ate at The New Moon Cafe, we wandered around and Abe took a bunch of pictures at a weird fountain. He got this shot of Isaac and me sitting on the bench waiting for him to be done taking pictures of the spastic fountain.

Rosemary and Thyme

So sad there is no more show. And it just ended. On an episode where they were fighting. Wah.

Six Arms

Ah, Abe's my little drunkard. Now who's a spaz?!
I recently went to another McMenamin's in Seattle and have since vowed to never go to another one as a restaurant again. I will go for drinks, but not food.

Rain and reading

I just love listening to the rain while I am reading.

Julia's in Wallingford

This was so random and so surprisingly good. The table was sticky and the service was kind of weird, but nice.

As another note, if you are in Bellingham, WA on November 17, Saturday, I will be having an art show at Egress Studio with my mom, Anita Boyle.

74th St. Ale House

I'm bummed about this place because I really want to like it. It is good biking distance and cute, but sheesh. If you don't mind greasy food, they have interesting choices. Just be sure to give yourself a few hours to sit there because it is pretty dang slow. I don't think we have gotten out of there in under 2 hours and that was rushing them.
