I created my first Bento last night for work and I just cracked it open and decided to write a small post and put up a picture. The bento consists a wheat flour turkey roll with cream cheese / spinach and rice with a umeboshi aka in it, and a small side of Hello Pandas and a Reese’s cup for dessert.

I’m in a manly gamer mood again (funny enough mood to be in, considering the bento) and think I will be spending the night with either ep1 of Half Life 2 or Gears of War.

A couple of weeks ago it was my sister’s Wedding, we attended and it was a pretty entertaining affair, but one that I don’t hope to relive again too soon because the weight of a Tuxedo is tiring.

Seasons are changing and Vancouver is slowly thawing (though not fast enough) and my sister Mayra is in town so I’m trying to spend as much time with her as she’ll give me. Today we took a day trip to portland and visited the Japanese gardens, went to Uwajimaya, and topped off the day with Powell’s book store. While we were there we took a detour into the rare books section and came across some pretty impressive volumes. There was a gorgeous collection of the Bronte sister’s books from before the turn of the century that I would love to own and a copy of Mark Twain’s first novel from it’s second printing.

Seriously? They just now realized gamers need their own razors? This is totally my razor of choice now, if only because of how ludicrous the campaign is. I understand that gamers are a fairly wild breed of consumer whore, and that we have a tendency to buy into some pretty weird things, but I’m not sure what would make our razor needs differ from those of other men (and women!).

I went cake tasting last weekend and had a pretty good time. Larson’s cake was delicious, as usual, but I think we’re going with beaverton because the icing is prettier, and sometimes it really is about looks.
