I met a local artist while he was working on a new mural just a couple of blocks from where I work. Street art and graffiti are very interesting to me–he’s actually covering up some graffiti I’ve previously taken pictures of and written a little bit about.
He was extremely nice and thrilled to have someone take an interest in his work. He gave me some information about his local studio and I hope to find out more about it. Of course I was at a complete loss for words but I did get a picture of him at work.
I have a software training in Hamburg between 28 and 30 Nov and plan to arrive early on Saturday - and the Miniatur Wunderland is one of the places I want to see. @bibliophile20, do you have already a completely planned out program* or is a mutant meeting possible?
Carlisle United still haven’t lost, and have won the last four games. I will be surprised if Keith Curle doesn’t get the Manager of the Month curse for October.
Ok, I have the writing mostly done except I need to make it funnier, and I tested uploading, and some art wasn’t 300dpi @ > 6" wide so I redid some images and it passes now with no issues. And I can preview it looking bookish on their site which is surprisingly helpful. I have a lame cover at this point, a good one will take some work, but I’ve got time.
If you’re going, watch out for the smoked fish. Grimsby makes a big deal out of its smoked fish, but I think it is made by dragging fish through soot and then hanging it for a while.
Two victories. I got a B on my P-Chem exam (I expected a D). After the curve it’s probably closer to an A, but we won’t know until the semester ends. And after the Nintendo thread I felt a little inspired:
ETA: I just realized it’s three victories! I got my girlfriend to see David Sedaris with me for the low, low, price of seeing a production of Jesus Christ, Superstar with her.
What no Pokemon?
Seriously the two games that I played the hell out of on that platform were Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2. They are great turn based wargames and you can play hotseat multiplayer.
Getting a Zelda game as my first game with the console is a tradition that goes back to my first pink-buttoned gameboy. Then I got a game I never finished (it doesn’t allow saving) despite my best efforts. Pokémon and Super Mario World are next on the list. But I need to find someone who is still playing the Pokémon on the Advance who can trade with me if I’m gonna catch 'em all!
