Tonight, my wife and I made cookies:

These are very orangy and we dipped them in chocalate on the backside, really good.
They're made from a carved wooden roller and then hand painted:

Sugar cookies and ginger cookies, frosted:

More suger cookies, snowflakes:

I'm going to go buy an Abacus tomorrow. Hopefully I can compile Firefox on it and go about my merry way.

Suffice to say, SuSE 10.0 didn't help things any. About 3 hours into my evening, while I was copying my backup .tars back over from my fileserver, New Install started locking up, specifically, X started restarting. While trying to figure that out, I got a bunch of kernel panics, rebooted, corrupted FS. While running reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, I got another kernel panic. There goes that install.

A couple of pictures of our tree:

On Halloween, we saw Dresden Dolls at the Avalon. We got there way early, played a few racks at Jillians before hand, and still got in way early. Devotchka and Faun Fables opened and were all really good, and we ended up spending a lot of cash at the merch table at that show. Costumes were for the most part really cool, and everyone was better than me, since I just left from work in whatever I was wearing that day.

I have an AIM account, when I set up that screenname, the one I wanted was unavailable. So I mashed some keys and got myself a screenname + digits and haven't thought twice about it for the last 5 years. Today I decided to see if the name I wanted was available or if AOL jams any name a user picks for eternity. Unsurprisingly, they said my chosen name wasn't available, but this time, before just giving up, I hit the "I've lost my password, here's my screenname" button just to see what happened. In the worst case, whoever it was would get a password reminder, big deal.
