(They used one of the ones where the people were out of focus though, so meh.) But yay for my first Pillbox cover photo.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612beer.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We got some nice new glass tupperware to replace our random collection of plastic stuff. I feel much better about putting food into these and sending Greg off with lunch in them.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612tupperware.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We got a new Carcassonne expansion that came with &#8220;giant meeples&#8221;. However, the meeples weren&#8217;t easily distinguishable from the regular ones, so we added smiley faces to them. Yay happy meeples.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612carcassonne.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We went to Dave and Buster&#8217;s with Yubin and Max to play Pump It Up. It was a lot of fun and good exercise (especially given that the ITG machine has been out of commission for a while). I also got my first full-perfect combo in any dancing game. The accuracy ratings in PIU are much, much more forgiving than ITG or DDR.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612piu.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612piu2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been cooking more, which is generally an indicator that I&#8217;m happier. I made a huge pot of curry over the weekend, and have been making things like burgers, quesadillas, pasta, and salmon throughout the week. Nice things there include a nice hunk of romano cheese to freshly grate over pasta and lots of fresh vegetables (in salad or steamed).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/092612food.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been eating a lot this week, which is a good thing. Food is tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is (supposedly) the usual board games with Yubin and Max. Board games are awesome and playing them with awesome people is even more awesome.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling like rewriting <a href=\"http:\/\/adventure.alanv.org\">CMU adventures<\/a> lately and continuing to build it. I just need to get motivated to write code outside of work again.<\/p>\n<p>Yay life. :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life has been full of nice things lately.
