Downtown walk with e:Mike
Category: movies
On Saturday we walked around downtown with (e:mike)

Down to canalside

And over to the Irish Famine memorial, in the Synacor parking lot
image
And over to the railroad tracks.

This section used to be double tracked but they removed them about 10 years ago. I wonder what used to be in that concrete bunker? Paul thinks it's a station because there's windows and stairs down to it.

Keine Selfies im Gleis!

The tracks make a convienent dumping ground.

The Witch
Category: movies
(e:paul) is obsessed with satan and witch based movies, so we went to see the move "The Witch" last night at the regal.

It was mostly about a 1630's farming family in America being tortured by some witch in the woods. There was a little too much Jesus praying in the movie for me, but I guess if you're going to have a Satan-goat worshipping witch you need something to counter it with.

It made me appreciate not living in colonial America. It also reminded me of what I think brushwood ladies would love to live out.

Dragonfruit (dragonegg)
Category: food
Have you ever had a dragonfruit? It looks like I would expect a dragon egg to look like. It makes me want to incubate it and have a cute dragon pet.

We got on at PriceRite for $1.99 a pound. It has a very mild creamy taste and the coolest looking seeds on the inside. From the look of it I really thought it would have a stronger taste.


Apparently it's from Mexico and related to the prickly pear cactus. Now I know what Basra's favorite fruits taste like.

It was rather unflavorful. The prickly pear is way better.

Apple design
Category: tech

As seen on (e:Paul)'s desk.

The moment when your USB rechargeable mouse battery dies, but you can't use it while it charges because the plug is on the bottom (?!). so it's back to a much cheaper corded mouse which never dies.

Magic mouse for real. Why would Apple not put it in the front or make it inductive? What about when the battery life is reduced?

Faceswapping
Category: tech
I went over to my parent's house for Latvian food and dog walking.

image

My sister and I discovered the snapchat faceswap filter while I was there. I think (e:xandra) is the best at these, but here's Mary swapping faces with the high school pictures of Daniel and me.
