Today I’ve started to paint a picture for my son’s second birthday. Not a digital painting… a real paint on canvas picture. I haven’t done something like this since college. It’s going to be a challenge that’s for sure. Wish me luck.
When was the last time you did a real medium piece of art… and what was it?
Today at my house it was baking day. I made a maple, cinnamon, raisin bread. My wife made a pumpkin loaf and some peanut butter and chocolate treats made with what ever cereal was left in our cupboard. Then for supper we had a homemade beef stir fry that was just awesome! Oh, and for lunch we had leftover spaghetti with, of course, a homemade sauce.
In my opinion, you just can’t beat homemade anything. Sure, if it comes out of a box it’s fast and easy, but the flavors and the pride that you get when you’ve hand crafted your meal just can’t compare. I’m not nearly as talented as my wife is on this topic, but I do find myself flipping though recipe magazines looking for things to make. It makes me warm a fuzzy just thinking about it. ^_^
On a side note in regards to yesterday. Never do a home project with a spouse… I’ll leave it at that.
Had a crap day today.
Hope you had a better one then me.
Good night.
What’s your favorite dessert?
I have lots that top the list. Banana cream pie, my wife’s apple crisp, vanilla ice cream with pineapple chunks on top. But I don’t think any can top a nice big slice of cherry pie with a dollop of whip cream on it. Oh man! It’s the food of the gods I tell ya… the food of the gods.
I’m sitting here on my floor trying to wipe my brother in laws computer. Why? Because he needs to give it to his in laws and it needs to be free of all the crap on it currently. It amazing how much we can accumulate on our PC’s. I’ll admit, I don’t clean ours up or do regular backups. I really should, its going to bite me in the as one day.
So yeah, here I sit as their old computer downloads 21 windows updates before it shuts down. I need it shut down so I can place one of my DVD drive bays in it so I can put in the factory CD (we just found out their CD drive is done and busted). Good times… I totally forgot how much fun it is doing this sort of stuff.
Ugh…
Do you do regular backups of your PC?
Tonight I went with my wife to see a So You Think You Can Dance Canada on tour show. Our seats weren’t the best they weren’t the worst ether. My wife bought them a few days before the actually went on sale thanks to a promotion code and these where the best she could get. Makes you wonder how to get the better ones. Anyway, it was a great show and the dancers where fantastic. It was nice to see a show like this. My wife and I don’t get many chances to go do things like this so I’m very glad we went.
I can tell I’m getting old though. A lot of the time I thought “geez… this music is way too loud. They should turn it down.” Not that I’ve been a fan of loud music to begin with. ^_^
So yeah, great show, it was lots of fun. I do believe next year we’ll go again. I think my wife want to see an actual live taping of the show though. I’ll have to see what I can do about that one.
Oh, I should also mention that a lot of the lady dance costumes where uber cute and sexy, which just added to the top notch dancing. ^_^
So what was the last live show you saw? Concert? Play? That bum on down the street drop his pants for change?
