We are in the process of buying our very first home! It's the first floor of a renovated yellow Victorian built in 1926. It's in Salem, MA and is truly double the size of our current space. Who wants to come to our first party?

It was a good night of television programming last night, as "South Park" featured an episode about Guitar Hero. This character is so talented, he doesn't even need the gaming system. He can play Guitar Hero acoustically.

The bathroom is ok. I think I'll like it much better when I paint it in cooler colors. Isn't the sink elegant though?

This was our first home! My husband and I bought the #3 unit in this co-op in Seattle. It was half a block from his business and it was the cutest thing ever! A little secret garden in the middle of the city, just 2 blocks from the UW. I really loved it, but it was a 600sf one bedroom living space and we quickly outgrew it.

With turkey meatballs.

These are a pair of native australia parrots called Lorikeets (look like a breeding pair), nesting/looking for an appropriate home in a (Native) Euclayptus tree.

Ms Chian Yu Ling and Mr Lim Meng Jin, emcees of the talk.

We got a webcam so we can watch Jet from work -- in case she has any health problems, we will know about it right away. It's also a great deal of fun to be able to watch our girl, and to see what she does all day. Mostly sleep, yawn and roll over.
