Fairfield kitchen — all done!

I’ve been working my way through the Fairfield’s rooms, trying to get the interior finished so I can put the house on display. My most recent accomplishment is completing the trim, flooring, and some finishing touches in the kitchen. I’ve always had a vision in my head of how I’d finish the pantry, and finally […]

Spring has sprung (in multiple scales!)

I’m not much of a gardener, but last summer I discovered that growing vegetables is a lot of fun. (And yummy!) This week Geoff’s mom helped me pick out and plant veggies for a second round. This year’s garden includes three types of tomatoes: one plant each of Juliet grape and “brown berry” tomatoes, plus […]

Italian Greyhuahua at the beach

Recently someone found my blog via a Google search for “chihuahua Italian greyhound mix dogs.” I thought that was strange because up until now, I’ve assumed that Rosy was the result of a forbidden rendezvous between an unlikely pair of star-crossed lovers who hopped over a fence—or climbed under one, as the case may be.

To be honest I don’t remember much about it except that it stood out […]

The play’s game’s the thing… mif2000’s Hamlet

I’m doing contract PR for Alawar Entertainment, who just released an interesting game named (deep breath) Hamlet, or the last game without MMORPG features, shaders and product placement. When I first heard about this game a few months ago, I was interested to check it out because I’m a big fan of media that comes […]

My preview of The Whispered World

I’m finally caught up with my GDC previews (all three of them) and my impressions of The Whispered World have been posted at Adventure Gamers. Going into GDC I didn’t know a ton about this game, besides the fact that it seemed to have been in production forever. After seeing it in person, I’m pretty […]
