We occasionally get deer in our backyard, but usually they seem to be simply ‘passing through’. So we were quite surprised the other day when we found they are apparently comfortable enough in the yard to use it as their living room…

Yossie loves her toys. Our house is riddled with them. They are everywhere…
She loves them to death:
The left shot is the ‘after’; the right is what it looked like (more or less) new. We found the remains the other day. Notable is the fact that the nose remains, as well as one eye (the left eye). Everything else was gone. To date we only found a piece of black fur. We have no idea what happened to the white fur.
This is hardly the first toy mouse that has ended up in this state, and will not be the last 🙂
The other day we received the following in the mail:
I can’t imagine how much this lavishly packaged sample of Sheba cat food (chicken dinner flavour) cost to send us. And it won’t work, since we only feed the cats dry food. We’ll stash this in the cupboard, for a ‘rainy day’!

First of all, Doctor Who was great. Season 3 is off to a good start…
This post is just to dump some of the stuff from my harddrive, such as this photo of the lego crane I made the other weekend. It’s much bigger than I thought it would be from the packaging!

This next shot is of some Star Wars minature's from the new 'Pocketmodel TCG'. Game packs are $5 apiece and come with rules, small dice, some playing cards and some small models of various ships from the SW world. I have little (no) interest in the game itself, but as a SW fan had to buy a pack to see the models. I'm quite pleased. The level of detail is high and the materials are much sturdier than in similar games (Pirates, Transformers). If you're interested in this sort of thing you could do worse than picking up a pack (I found it at Target):

Lastly, I recently purchased (online, from the UK) a homebrew Gameboy Advance game called Blast Arena Advance:
< Shot of the cart
The game is extremely professional, but there isn't a great deal to it. The third of the following shots is a screenshot of gameplay, which consists of moving a target around the screen picking up the yellow squares. And that's it!
Extremely simplistic gameplay aside I’m happy with the purchase, both because of the overall slickness of the product and because of how cool it is just to have a homebrew GBA cartridge. Plus, the price (7 pounds, including shipping) was right 🙂
