Don’t throw your wiimote

All the pictures of people with broken TVs and windows because of accidentally throwing the Wii would normally make me paranoid, but Lolvegan went out and got us these skins for the Wiimote the day after I got a Wii. They look kind of stupid, but they’re the same material as the ipod skins, [...]

Baby Quilt

I finished making my first quilt last weekend. I got the idea from the chenille patchwork blanket tutorial. I didn’t put in any of that poofy quilting material in between the fabric and the fleece that I have on the back, so the quilt’s more like a blanket: thin. It’s for my [...]

.hack review and then some

Happy Post-Halloween. I was kind of bummed that practically no one recognized my costume. How hard is it to find someone who knows what a white mage is from the earlier Final Fantasy games? I like how some people think if I’m dorky enough to dress up as a game character, I’m [...]
