Quick update with pictures

Last week lordaerith and I volunteered at the UT Video Game Archive Fundraiser


why yes, that's me with a ballon that matches my shirt tied to my braid, why do you ask?
For the record, no one told me to remove it.


I take playing Gauntlet II very seriously.


Almost as much as lordaerith does when playing Joust.


I make a fabulous hand model holding a Tabula Rasa coin.

On Saturday Bubbles and Boom hosted an Art Party. The theme was elementalism. lordaerith and I worked together to make element-eatable cookies.






This is what a triple batch of cookie dough looks like. I'm amazed I got it all to fit in my mixer.


lordaerith painting the Earth cookies with a mixture of egg, water, and food coloring.


Bubbles and I


FireCat, Me, and Bubbles - yup, we're insane :)


And finally, all of my classes are going really well. I'm really enjoying Databases and Math, but I'm having trouble doing my reading for Management tonight...


edit: I forgot to mention that I also won a contest hosted by Anne Bishop. I got a signed copy of Belladonna (Australian edition) and some bookplates & bookmarks for the new book, which comes out in March.

oh don't get me wrong, we worked hard that day. The pictures of us playing the games were taken before the guests started to show up.

too bad we don't have exams in this class.

Yay for Tabula Rasa.
I started the beta for that the other day.
Can't say anything about it though. :)

I figured you'd worked hard, just the pics look like fun. :)

Anne Bishop is a little on the freaky side. I like the attempts at ancient pagan.. but really freaky.

I don't suppose they're looking for an archive of old PC games, I've got some real classics at home that I'd be interested in donating, along with a system that will run them.

Somehow NCsoft thinks that since I logged into Auto Assault after the cancellation was announced, I deserved free activation codes for CoH, Tabula Rasa Pre-Order and regular activation, which got me into the beta test. Go me!
