Been busy with home improvement and derby as well as homework. The steam sale slowed me down quite a bit, but we are back. We are painting our bedroom. http://www6.homedepot.com/marthastewart/PDFs/paint/Potters_Clay_Paint.pdf Thank you Martha Stewart. here are our choices. Pressed petal for the primary walls and Madiera for the back wall. To bring out some more color. Also we will be using copper to stencil more leaf designs and give the room an " earthy" theme. So far the entryway is a forest color, the living room is fire and I anticipate that water and metal may be where we head for bathrooms and kitchen. I love the idea of the elements. Unfortaunatley I am so bias to earth, I have to stretch my diesigning mind. Games to play on the PC: ZEN BOUND http://store.steampowered.com/app/61600/?snr=1_7_suggest__13   right now super cheap. A great game to increase your spatial reasoning. We are in love with the atom wheels " Poison" http://w

STEAM POWERED SALE!!

STEAM!                                                          http://store.steampowered.com/ Now, if you know me, you will know I am an avid gamer.  If I didn't have to work and maintain my life, I would probably play video games all day long. I love the input. Steam offers a 2x a year sale ( summer and Christmas time)  that is off the hook. As a computer gamer( I play console too, but it is getting spendy and stupid, more on that later) steam is amazing. You can purchase great games for wicked cheap and even gift them to friends either on steam or not. Makes gift giving SUPER EASY and again, inexpensive. Their catalog is thorough and there is also a long list of free to play and demo games. Sales change everyday and you can vote on what you would like to have go on sale, so it's super important you are there. GO NOW. Knowledge is power.      http://store.steampowered.com/    And check out my wishlist if you want, buy me a game. htt

Exercise and movies

Image
So today was a workout. Biking in to skate practice,  skated a bit( very little bit, its been awhile and my legs were not used to especially after a bike ride)  and then a bike ride to the westside for some Spider man. Needless to say I am a little tuckered out. Trying not to go straight to bed and sleep but tommorrow is the start of the week, and our house has been in flux from moving furniture and painting.  Also watched this last night http://www.imdb.com/find?q=rare+exports&s=all which made me really respect the people of Finland. It also is a little fin and funny. A nice following to Battle Royale  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/ in our little foreign film run.  As for food: Nothing amazing except what was at the 4th of July party. Candied Bacon bits and covered fourth of July strawberries made my day. We found a Berry smoothy wine at world market that was amazing, but only after chilled.  Have a great week and stay safe!

Fourth of July

Image
The fourth of July was fun, with people and food. What else could a person ask for.Perhaps we did not do a lot of fireworks because of the "middle of the week we are going to work tomorrow" But people brought some good food a great times. So we  had some amazing strawberries. kiddos playing with my spray painted guns of awesome, and me with firecracker attitude makeup. I suppose I could learn to like the holiday a little more. But we will have to see.

Ponty Movie Review "PontyPool"

Image
I have watched a lot of movies. I have watched A lot of horror movies. This one was worth stopping and writing about. Sick of the same old horror movie game?  Watch "PontyPool" So what was so unique about it?  I won't give anything away . But it is a new premise. Smart decisions are made to improve survival.  A thriller that makes you sit back in your chair and ask yourself "could that happen?"

Food Review "Macaroni and Cheese"

Image
  Why "Macaroni and Cheese" and not macaroni and cheese"  Because this shit was EPIC!  Melted 4 different types of cheese in there complete with seasoned sausage.  -Chedder -Paremsan -Velveeta -Sharp White Chedder <-----this nbsp="" this--=""> I highly suggest that everyone has their own version of macaroni and cheese that doesn't come out of a box.  Really, it will only make you cooler.

And it looks as though July is here. Surprise!! Activities of the week I spent this week working, on work. Which I love. I drove a lot, which is part pf my job and realized that I love -My Subaru WRX -The pacific northwest and all the places you can get coffee, especially starbucks. Always open with the WIFI and vanilla bean Scone( try it is amazing) I hate to be a schill, but honestly, they give me what I need and expect. Food -Burial Grounds cafe in downtown Olympia can make an amazing drink. Specifically an amazing Mayan Mocha. Watch out regular mocha here comes chocolate and spice that makes you swallow twice, awakening all your taste buds. Amazing. Everytime I go there, I am left very happy.Also they have cool jewelry and art .Support your local businesses, go here. http://www.burialgroundscoffee.com/ Nothing else for you now on the food front. Movies - 21 Jump street.Funny. I really enjoyed it. If you are a fan of the show, I think you would get more out of it
