Actual conversation

Me: Speaking of distracting, you left a poo in the toilet.
Kari: Does that distract you?
Me: It totally does.
Kari: I left a load in the dryer yesterday...
Me: You pooped in the dryer? That is totally inappropriate!
Kari: It was a dark load and a full load...
Me: That is way too much information.
Kari: I'm too tired for this.
Me: What do you want me to do with your load?
Kari: (laughing) Make sure it's dry.

It's a boy

Stand aside, smelly one

I wrote a Civilization Revolution DS walkthrough shortly after acquiring it. It's the only thing of the sort I've ever attempted; I did it because I loved the game so much.

About a month ago, I got an e-mail from Elizabeth Tobey from 2k Games. I recognized her as the company's representative on the game's official message board -- I'm not registered there, but I was a frequent lurker at one point. She said they wanted to send me a SPECIAL PRIZE for being so nice and helpful. (There's a moral here, kids!) I was thinking it'd probably be a poster or something really cheap, but I was wrong. I was SO wrong.



Hand-painted resin. My wife loves it, too. It's on our mantle now.
