chocolate cake for breakfast

My Tamagotchi
My new Tamagotchi, Sam.


I had chocolate cake for breakfast. Just thought I needed to get that confession off my chest right away.

My birthday's not until tomorrow, but I celebrated it with my family last night because Jeff and I are going out tomorrow night. In addition to some handmade crafts, my nieces gave me a Tamagotchi. I've been lusting over theirs for months now; I used to have a Tamagotchi eight years ago but he died soon after birth because I fed him too much ice cream.

My new Tamagotchi's name is Sam, and I'm going to be a much better parent this time, I promise. Interesting to see the changes in Tamagotchis: they can now play games by themselves and with other people's Tamagotchis, poop, behave badly, get married, have kids, make friends.

My brother-in-law Kaarel bet that Sam wouldn't last more than 10 minutes. HA, I'll show him.

Me and the Ingalls


My dad and Mabuta gave me the first season of Little House on the Prairie on DVD, a show that we used to watch all the time when we were kids. I still have clear memories of Ruth and me, sitting in front of the television with tears streaming down our faces, boxes of Kleenex by our sides. Anyway, I watched the first episode this morning while I was having my chocolate cake (leftover from the party last night), the one where the Ingalls first move to Walnut Grove.

Yes, I'm aware that it's an incredibly sappy show but man, did I bawl...that scene when Laura and Mary start dragging those sacks of wheat to help out their injured Dad gets me every time. Interesting to watch the show as an adult rather than as a kid, seeing characters and storylines with a different perspective.

Which reminds me, I need to buy more Kleenex.

(Stop gagging, Andy. :-) )

Hey, I finished the front and back covers of the Urban Tapestry DVD yesterday! Click on either of the images below to see an enlarged version (or click here to go directly to the large version of back cover):
