more turtley love Written on March 10, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
Roosevelt has been doing really well. We bought him some plants to munch on a little while ago, and munch he did! Apparently it’s pretty rare for hatchling sliders to want to eat plants, they’re primarily carnivorous at first. He definitely has a taste for the greenery, which is something I certainly don’t have.
Speaking of [...]
february Written on March 10, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
February was rather uneventful, other than the second snow day of the year. We actually got snow the first week of March as well, but now it’s in the 70s. Good old Atlanta, and its effed up weather.
I went to work on the February snow day. It didn’t start snowing until lunch and we got [...]
Roosevelt Written on January 25, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
The turtle I inherited from my mother is doing pretty great. I’m in the process of building him (I just default to calling things “him” if the sex is nonexistent or ambiguous) a really great, though painfully geeky, aquarium environment. We’ve decided to name him Roosevelt in an attempt to offset the very undignified way [...]
On the subject of goals… Written on January 23, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
I’m not really one to make resolutions. I think that ultimately, they cause unneeded stress and disappointment. However, I have started setting yearly goals for myself. I’ve realized that I now have a lot of long term goals, and I make progress on them so slowly that it begins to get unmotivating. So, I’ve decided [...]
Snow day in Atlanta Written on January 21, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
It snowed in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Snow in a huge deal here, because we’re in the south and it rarely snows here. When I first moved to Atlanta, I was all excited I’d get to see snow because it’s much farther north and into the mountains than where I’m from. I rapidly [...]
Xmas festivities Written on January 10, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
Christmas was a cold and wet one in Canada. I was really hoping for Christmas snow, and did not receive. However if I’d have stayed in Georgia, I would have also had a cold, wet Christmas. At least I didn’t miss anything?
I was expecting it to be colder than it ended up being, so I [...]
Pre-xmas festivities Written on December 25, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
Well I’m sitting in an airport on xmas eve because it was decided that the office needed to be open half a day today, even though all of our clients and vendors were closed. We basically all just sat around and chatted until 1. I was concerned about getting to the airport in time, and [...]

pumpkin cheesecake Written on December 23, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
There was apparently a pie pumpkin shortage this year. The only place I could find pumpkins was whole foods, and they were all $8 monster pumpkins. This left me with a ridiculous amount of pumpkin after I made my pumpkin pie, so I decided to try my hand at a pumpkin cheesecake.
Pumpkin cheesecake will forever [...]
Downtime Written on December 17, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
One of the great things about working in a design firm is that the work is pretty seasonal. It’s busy like hell at the beginning and end of the year, and there’s pretty much nothing going on in the spring/summer, unless you’re lucky like I am and have a catalog that’s released 4 times a [...]
