A different kind of creature


This is our new kitten. We just got her tonight from Mel's cousin. Ain't she cute?

She's curious and quite brave, and she needs a name.

Any ideas?

Last Creature for a bit


The Bear Carrying A Shark is possibly the deadliest creature ever. Do not try to deny it.

A better bunny


I finally got the full version of the Spore Creature Creator, and with the proper parts, I have created a better version of Terlingua, the devil bunny.

The Creator itself is wonderful, but I really have to say I'm disappointed in EA. First, when I tried to download the game earlier in the day, their website was slowed to a crawl. Aren't they supposed to be, like, huge?

Second, there's the EA Downloader. It's supposed to be a download manager, but all it did for me was get in the way. Here's what I had to do to get the game to work: I downloaded the EAD, installed it, changed its target directory to a different location, used it to download the game, then uninstalled the downloader. The SCC would not run while I had the EAD even installed on my system. Granted, my XP has been unpatched for like 5 years now, so it may be partially my bad.

Anyhoo, I'm off to create and share .

Everybody's doin' it...


Okay, so here is my prototype devil bunny, Terlingua:

Ain't he cute?

He's not perfect yet, but it's pretty good for just the demo version. The full version of the creature creator will be out on Wednesday.

Vroom!

Got the replacement belt from Sears. It's amazing how easy it was to connect everything with all the brackets back in place and the belt the proper length! Runs like a dream.

Mario Kart Wii is coming later today.

Jacob is really into Avatar lately. He has discovered Nick Toons, and that's his favorite show. Of course, I don't mind, since I like the show too :-)
