Is It Over? Can I Come Out Now?

Some pics taken with my cell phone over the last two weeks or so.

Last week we saw two movies. I took this pic of myself in my 3D glasses in the dark movie theater as we waited for one of the movies to start.



Paul, Dave and I saw The Hobbit, which: Just don't, is my advice. (The only good review I've heard of it is from one of the guys who works at the studio. He said he really liked it but that he had eaten half of an incredibly potent marijuana-laced chocolate bar beforehand and was so high that he didn't come down for two days. So if you can see it under those circumstances, then yes, you have my blessing to go ahead.)



Two days later, Judi, Paul, Dave and I saw Life of Pi (also in 3D), which I actually liked. So see that instead.

I ate this sometime in the last two weeks. (It's a vegetarian ABLT (avocado, vegetarian bacon, lettuce, and tomato), with masala fries and a bit of green salad.)



This is a glaze test (key lime over Archie's base on calico clay).



This little nerd had a follow up visit to the vet. He's still limping from time to time, but other than some arthritis in his shoulder, there is no reason for him to be doing so.



My guess is that he has an injury like a sprain that he keeps re-injuring by jumping off of things. For now he's getting some fish oil-laden treats (with some other anti-inflammatory stuff in it) to try to help out with the arthritis.

And this scary thing is the inside of the soda kiln.



That's how rough soda firing is on the kiln. I was trying to get a picture of the cracks that go all the way through the walls (which also means that the kiln is basically done for).

And Christmas Eve day lunch was at Thai Vegan, where we had Chinese broccoli, spicy noodles, and a red curry (not pictured).



Christmas Eve dinner was pizza and salad at the studio with Dave and my brother.



The studio was closed, but we let ourselves in and sat for a couple of hours eating and chatting.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!
