The Last of Us Cosplay

The day arrived this Saturday, one year after I decided that CH and I would dress up as Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us, a phenomenal and heart-rending game from Naughty Dog.  San Diego ComicCon!  Saturday morning we

Squeak Squeak!

Sunday night I’m doing the dishes, soapy water dripping from my fingers, and I hear a surprised little squeak and the rattle of sheet metal.  Coming from the oven.  “No, couldn’t be,” I think.  But I check the oven anyway,

Joel and Ellie Cosplay Update

The costumes are coming along and I’m stepping closer to a life as an itinerant zombie-basher.  Well..actually clickers and runners and bloaters.  If you’re facing down a building full of Infected be sure you have one of these, perfect for

I’m Joel, She’s Ellie

I’ve never been a big one for costumes.  On Halloween I usually roll out the Indiana Jones getup because A)it takes about five minutes, and B)it’s fun to be Indiana Jones.  Last fall, I decided on costumes more than a

Never Give Up

Sometimes you give up too early.  I’ve written about beers that didn’t work when I thought they would be great, and others that rose from the ashes to be wonderful.  Last night I went out to the beer fridge int he

Bigger is Better!

I’ve moved up to 3 gallon brewing instead of 1 gallon.  And oh lawdy was it easy.  How do you do it?  First, go to Home Depot and get a 5-gallon water cooler.  It’s $20, a bargain for what you’re
