Not sure how long the attempted stache will last

This little image making program, FaceYourManga, has been making the rounds on the internet. Anywho here’s my contribution to the trend. I should note the stache looks far better on my avatar than it actually does on me.

So how do you look animetized?

Doggies!

Written by Erik on November 14, 2006 – 8:21 pm -

Chasing That Feeling

We adopted two pooches over the weekend, they’re originally from a shelter over in Montreal, Canada. The pups are a Shih Zu/Maltese mix, 9 months old, and weigh in at 7 & 9 lbs (3.14 & 4 kg). They’re remarkably energetic and have succeeded in freaking out the cat. It’s interesting to watch since they’ll gang up on her, one going around the left side while the other circles around the right. Plus they’re just as fast as the cat, so her only advantage is her ability to go vertical. So now my bedroom is the designated cat zone, with a baby gate to prevent raids, while the office is the DMZ.

Anywho you can find more doggy pictures here.

Luci has her own set as well.

Sausage Fest At The Lady Of Immaculate Conception

Cakes

There was a Carnival/Sausage Festival/Oktoberfest/Fundraiser over at the Lady Of Immaculate Conception church over in Everett. The sausage wasn’t very good, but the carnival lights were bright when they were lit. Overall it was pretty fun.

You can find the photos on both my Zooomr or Flickr account.
