Check whether Lewis and Clark is open :  (it’s not)

Stay Warm: X

Build a 6ft-tall-igloo out of ice and snow in the back garden : 

The final video with the roof and everything will be along soon, quite possibly in Advent Calendar form…

I thought this picture from JGG’s photostream deserved a wider audience… and also wanted to test posting from Flickr to the blog in WordPress 2.7. It still doesn’t work right.

Atticus channels his inner huskie (a video experiment, let me know if it works)
The battery in me little camera doesn’t do well at the best of times, but the cold and ‘Cus managed to shut the video down at 45 seconds or so. The bit when it jerks away is when his lead went tight as he tried to maul the sliding car…

I’ve 3 days worth of internet to catch up on cos I’ve either been out with the camera or recovering from being out with the camera.

Photos abound over at Flickr…

Let’s hope the ‘moisture in the system [doesn’t] linger too long over the ocean‘…

It’s a vehicular Swan Lake…

(PS. I’m still updating the Advent Calendar…)

A couple of pix from this morning’s excitement in our street:

This is post One Thousand and One, I’m glad 1000 wasn’t another ‘sorry I haven’t been posting much’ type entry but instead a handy guide to kale and slugs. I only logged in today to post that I’ve added an Archives page to my photoblog and that it was lovely and frosty this morning.

The screenshot will also serve as a reminder of what my desktop looked like in December 2008 with WP 2.6.5. It’s a typical day. I like looking at screenshots of other people’s PCs, just to see what’s installed, what the background is, what OS, what programs are open, what they’ve been searching for… Okay, so I’m as nosey as the next nerd.

Righty, that does it. I’m starting a new meme. Consider yourselves tagged, Flash, Mario and Ale and anyone else who fancies it. Upload a screengrab of your desktop as it is when you read this. Then tell 3 other people to do likewise. Hopefully it will have an infinite cat project feel to it eventually 😀

Happy Millennial Post!

Notez bien! You’ll probably need to refresh the page (hit f5) to get the new link everyday… and some days will doubtless be better than others. It’s coming up to day 3 and I’m running out of ideas. Any requests?

Here’s that link again: http://agaveweb.com/atticalendar.html

Looks like it’s going to be a full week again, once I finish at lewis and clark I’m heading off to localise some more UK English stuff.

Word Magazine just published an advent calendar with links to videos and suchlike. I thought, I could do that:

Presenting

Countdown to Xmas with ‘Cus

One more thing for me to update… 🙂

They turned out nice I reckon. As did everything else. We could have fed a small army and their horses but we still made a fair dent in the supplies. And had cake for afters too.

Then we watched “What’s Cooking” (2000) set in the ‘burbs of LA about several families of various ethnic backgrounds and the family drama that unfolds on your average thanksgiving. I’ve seen worse films on a full stomach and at least it was seasonal.

to take some pictures and then promise to write some kind of proper post.

but it’s ironic (in an Alanis Morisette (sp?) kinda way) how I only have time to update this blog when I’ve been doing nothing, but then a week like this comes along and you get 0 posts despite there being so much news I don’t know where to start.

I’m off to bed…

I’m well impressed with Seattle. We had a gorgeous day yesterday and it weren’t raining or nuffink, you could see Mt Rainier and there was lots of atmosphere… we’ve been eating out, trying local microbrews and catching up with Liz and Josh. Hope the pictures turn out alright. You can probably safely skip the hidden Seattle underground tour, but everything else was grand. We’re going to grab some breakfast, go up the Space Needle then home (only 3 hrs drive) to relieve Sudarat of her Atticus-looking-after duties.

Even had Starbucks at 7am this morning for the full experience. Saludos!

I wish this thing would go faster.

I can’t stand to watch, but shall have to. It’s a worrying start (4.50pm Pacific)

Sita was looking over her ballot forms last night and realised she had a ‘postal vote’. We tried ringing the council to find out what to do but it was closed. Turns out that everyone in Oregon gets a postal vote, so you can fill out the thing in the comfort of your own home, seal the envelope and drop it in a specially provided box down town. You don’t even have to wait till election day. Seems like a very good way of doing things to me.

I have to wonder if anyone got confused with the Ballet Center half a block away. I was about to head off there when I realised it was ‘et’ not ‘ot’.

Obviously, I hope to any deity listening that McCain-Palin are roundly sent packing and that the Califas Gay Marriage laws aren’t repealed. Shall be watching the Daily Show coverage and CNN this evening with DrSita, DrSudarat and DrMichelle. Here’s a post from 4 years ago. Jesse, as far as I know, is still a Massachusetts resident.
