Still camping

By -
I'm pretty excited to go home in a day or two. Camping and being away from things is nice, but I miss our bed and electricity and running water. I do like that we can gain an appreciation for those things by being away from them, so it will be good to get home and really take advantage of them, even if it's only for a bit.

 We also just got an airbrush for painting Gunpla, so we're looking forward to trying that out as well. I'll definitely have to post some pictures of our experiments.

 Anyway, I'm a bit dry for things to say today beyond my growing want for my shower and airbrush, so I'll cut this a bit shorter today.

 Take it easy!

Cooking shows

By -
I really like watching cooking shows. I'm not sure why, I don't plan on ever making the food they do, but there is something about watching skilled chefs make beautifully delicious looking food. Rok also enjoys these show so that works out really well for us. More recently we have started to watch more cooking channels on YouTube. We now watch Binging with Babish and Bon Appetit. I used to watch Hellthy JunkFood, but recently their content hasn't appealed to me as much as it used to. We also watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, but unfortunately Netflix doesn't offer many other cooking show options that I can find. I have been curious to look into Chef's table but we haven't gotten there yet. Today I weighed: 213 lbs Yesterday I ate: > A 22 oz Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice > ~1 1/2 cup of buttery noodles > A yogurt cup > Two peanut butter and honey sandwiches > A slice of white bread Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water...

Tiny Cat Kidneys

By -
Our cat Monty has been getting over a kidney infection. As such, I had the privilege to learn how difficult it can be to make a cat swallow medication. We also had to learn to administer a subcutaneous fluid drip every few days to make sure he stays properly hydrated. Fortunately, he's been recovering well, drinking his water and eating his expensive, new medicated food. We took him into the vet today to make sure he's totally back to normal, but now we have to wait for a urine test to come back. At least we got his vaccinations and stuff renewed, so that's good. This morning, I weighed 195.8 Today I ate ~Three small chocolate covered muffin tops ~A pull apart twizzler ~Half a bowl of cheesy pasta from Noodles ~A cat mug of ice cream ~An Amy's pesto tortellini bowl ~Two slices of cheese pizza On an unrelated note, I've been cleaning up our kitchen and I'm hoping to keep it that way this time. I suspect a tidy kitchen will make cooking less of a cho...

On Nintendo

By -
This entry doesn't really fit with the others I've made so far, but today being their E3 presentation day, it seemed as good a time as any to offer a couple of stories and some thoughts on Nintendo. I believe I was six years old when Mario Kart 64 was released. Like any kid at the time, I wanted it quite a bit, and on Christmas, I was elated to find a copy of Mario Kart placed under the tree by my grandma. Unfortunately, as my grandma was a rather stereotypical grandma, she had mistakenly purchased a copy of Super Mario Kart for the SNES, a console I did not own. This isn't to say I blame my grandma; she was just trying to give me a gift I would like for Christmas. Seeing my disappointment, she decided to call Nintendo customer service and explain the situation. They were extremely helpful and understanding and they agreed to take my copy of Super Mario Kart and mail me a copy of Mario Kart 64 in exchange, along with a letter apologizing for the mix-up (which is a bit odd...
