I found this awesome 'show' on YouTube called Cooking with Dog.
It's a Japanese cuisine show with a dog as the host.
Unfortunately, there are only 6 episodes for now.

So, cute!

Well, Andrew and I both are phone-less.
Our vacation killed them both.
Drew's was electrocuted and mine jumped from a table (when it was already barely hanging onto life).

So, if'n you want to get a hold of us... you can't.
Seriously though, I guess you'll have to email us or use comments.

My Scalp is Red!

  • May. 8th, 2007 at 10:19 AM
kinda shadowy
Drew and I tinted our hair last night.
Mine turned out pretty good. Red-ish highlights and stuff.
Drew's turned more like... well, it's pink. heh.
Not exactly as expected.

Oh, well.
It's only temporary.

I just hope he doesn't get in trouble at work.

Our camera is mis-behaving. So, no pictures for now. :P
But hopefully soon.

Or, if you go to craft night Thursday at Andrea and Joel's you'll get to see it.
Not that great of a draw I don't think, but meh.

Andrew at Beacon Rock
Drew's birthday is the 22nd and he'll be 25!
Nothing planned as of yet... we are thinking of celebrating it on St. Patrick's Day... hitching a party ride with it.
Nothing fancy.

Does anyone know of any parties?


I know Aubrey was planning something for that weekend... but I haven't heard any details about it and I'm not sure it's happening anymore. So... give one of us a call Aubrey.

Celebrate with us! Show him how much you love him! Have fun!

Drew and I are having a Chinese Food Potluck tomorrow! 6P at our apartment.

We are making pot-stickers. Pork ones and Tofu ones.

Jessie, Daniel, and Aubrey said they are coming.
Reuben said he and Nicole will come.
That's it so far, but they're also the only ones we've talked to.

Anyone reading this is invited.
Bring whatever you want that's at least related to Chinese Food. Some people can bring drinks though too.

Call for directions.

Also... we'll be phoning tonight to bug everyone. :D
