Adventures in Redmond

Thank you dad, for paying for my AMA membership

2010-07-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

Today was a day much like any other and I would have nothing to write about here, except for an unfortunate event that occurred. Our evening began much like any other; Mike informed me over IM that he was now leaving and would soon be there to pick me up. At about the time he would normally arrive, he called me to tell me his car battery was dead so I should take the bus. Then about 5 minutes

Handful of strawberries

2010-06-27T17:05:00.000-07:00

Mmmm, strawberries I grew myself. Completely delicious and so full of strawberriness. Too bad that the last of them are now gone.

New Computer

2010-04-19T14:34:00.001-07:00

I built a computer for Mike. As you can see, I'm not very good at making the cables inside all neat and tidy. Check out that massive heat sink, it was bigger than I expected.

New template time!

2010-03-05T16:29:00.000-08:00

Thought I'd mix things up a bit with it really being spring here. So I decided I would prettify the blog with some cherry blossoms that you can see blooming around Redmond.

Lloyd's on ice

2010-02-28T00:44:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we went to Castle Ice Arena in Renton for a birthday celebration. Impressively, there is actually somewhere here to ice skate. What was rather interesting about the whole experience was that it completely reminded me of Lloyd's roller rink back in Calgary. You go in the front doors and pay, there's a place for skate rentals, and a small rink to go around and around in while they

Is that going to fit in the car?

2010-01-25T17:36:00.000-08:00

I posed this question to Mike while we stood in the electronics section of Costco. We were looking at the 52'' TVs that they had there. "Yes, I measured the trunk, it will fit" Mike replied with great confidence. I had my doubts of course, but Mike said he measured, so I figured it would be ok. On Sunday we went to Costco to look at the TVs they had available there. Mike had an urge to buy

The quest for unsalted cashews

2009-10-13T12:34:00.000-07:00

You'd think that something like unsalted cashews would be easy to find. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If you go through the nuts sold at QFC, Top, and Safeway (the grocery stores near us) there are usually none to be found. There are cashews that are labeled things like salted, 50% salt, reduced salt, sea salt, and lightly salted, but for some reason unsalted seems to be missing. This

There will be food...

2009-09-29T13:15:00.000-07:00

So 3 years after marrying, I think we might be having a reception dinner on December 26th this year. Chinese banquet style, of course. Nothing is set in stone yet and since we aren't the ones planning it I'm a little sketchy on the details. Just giving you a warning here of the possibility of this happening.

Squishing bananas between my fingers

2009-08-31T16:51:00.000-07:00

Due to receiving complaints of not much happening on the blog, I have decided to make a post. I haven't really found the need to post since not much exciting stuff has happened around here. Plus, the majority of people who actually read this I already keep in contact with over instant messenger. However, if a post is wanted, then a post shall be written.Here is a quick summary of our lives:

Added twitter updates!

2009-06-05T13:48:00.000-07:00

So I added twitter updates here to make it easier for those of you who read this to stalk me. Twitter will likely get updated more frequently than I post here.

To the border and back again...

2009-05-04T15:21:00.001-07:00

We went up to the border this weekend in order to get a new TN for Mike. On this trip the border guard made a big show about how he could easily deny the TN. I wonder if they might be getting more stringent due to the economy (and the fact that TNs can now be for up to three years instead of just one). Anyhow, the good news is we're still here and Mike is still able to work.Other than that the

Product Review: Mac & Cheese Crackers

2009-03-24T15:19:00.000-07:00

On the weekends, Mike and I go grocery shopping. It is during these trips that we purchase food items to fill our sad empty fridge to being happy and full again. Sometimes, the store has product samples for you to try. If you have ever experienced grocery shopping, I'm sure you are familiar with the experience.Such was the case this weekend. This friendly employee offered me a sample of Kraft

Let there be sound!

2008-12-20T17:07:00.000-08:00

As a joint b-day present for ourselves we got a receiver and speakers. I spent a few hours hooking it all up so I'm posting a picture of my handy work. (FYI, it's a lot of work to split and strip wires with just a knife (and painful when you poke yourself))

Mmmmm, cake

2008-11-02T21:36:00.001-08:00

For those of you who were not there to share, this is the cake that I made for my birthday. It was delicious.

Restaurant Review: Inchin's Bamboo Garden

2008-01-26T12:00:00.000-08:00

One line summary: OMG, my mouth is burning!So yesterday we went out to Inchin's Bamboo Garden because one of Mike's classmates got a job and will be moving away from Seattle shortly. Looking at the menu it seems to be sort of Chinese cuisine maybe szechuan or hunan style given how most items were described with containing chili peppers or being spicy.So their menu has spicy ratings. Dishes with

Had to mods the drums (Foam over the drum heads) so they don't make as much noise. Don't want to upset the neighbors (and my ear drums). Rock Band parties last a bit far too long and I suck at singing.School wise something cool happened. We actually got 4 Artists to work on

It was a dark and stormy evening in Redmond on December 14, 2006. The winds were howling, the rain was coming down in sheets. In short, it was very nasty outside. While we were out earlier that day, we heard the weather advisory on the radio that there were to be wind gusts up to 65mph. That's approximately 100 km/h; highway speed! So we hunkered down in our condo for the evening, chatting
