oh baby~

Okay now I'm going to squee about the snow and share some picspam. Since I posted my last entry the snow actually started accumulating and the grass and bushes are completely white now! It's supposed to keep snowing for the rest of the day until about 8:00 tonight with wind chills getting down below zero overnight...

OMFG I think we're actually going to have a white Christmas! Dear God PLEASE let this be an omen that 2010 will be a better year. Please.

After it started accumulating enough to make the grass white we decided to take Sushi out front to discover what snow is.

( Sushi snow pic spam! )

WHEEE MY FIRST WHITE CHRISTMAS! :D

I've been meaning to make an entry for days but every time I have a spare second to sit down and actually write, I don't feel like it. I'm taking a break now from the day-before-Christmas baking/cooking, so let's give this a shot.

It's been snowing outside all day today wtf. We have less than a 5% chance annually of having a white Christmas, so that's pretty wild. None of it is going to stick because it's been too warm the last few days leading up to now, but around here I'm happy to consider it a white Christmas if the stuff is even falling. It makes it a great backdrop for baking, man. I might make some coffee later.

I haven't said much lately because either nothing has been happening or I've been business busy or just trying to tune out everything else that's happening. Angeline has her first tests next week and the results will tell us what her prognosis is. As of right now they're saying the breast cancer has spread to her liver, they think it's in her right lung, and they're doing a brain and bone scan. A liver transplant isn't an option because it's not liver cancer, it's breast cancer in her liver. If it were to be transplanted, the breast cancer would just start taking over the new liver.

Right now all we know is that if she responds to the chemo, she could have a few years left. If she doesn't respond, all we know is "it will be quick". She can't take the same kind of chemo she was on before (which worked) because your body can only tolerate so much of it in your lifetime. She's in a lot of pain right now because of where it's spread to, and the pain meds they gave her make her deathly ill. She's going to try and get them changed, but with JPS that's a craps shoot with loaded dice that favor the house. They NEVER give out pain meds... think Tylenol 800s after a mastectomy. For now we're all trying to put it all out of mind to enjoy the holiday, Angeline included.

In other news I've been hired by a game developing company to do design work for an educational video game. :D I can't say anything more than that because I've signed an NDA, but so far it's been far too much fun to be considered work. I love my career. :D

That's all I can remember right now for an update. If I think of anything else I'll write again later. It's just that I've been severely neglecting LJ lately and I need to stop.

Besides there being really lovely animation of mundane little actions, I wondered something...

Do you guys think this:



Had any influence whatsoever on this?



It's the first thing I thought about when I saw this guy. :P

LiveStreaming again... but I don't think I'm going to post on LJ every time I do. If you want to know when I stream, the best way will be to . :)

Angeline's here at the house.

She has breast cancer in her liver and right lung. They're putting her on chemo for the rest of her life and if she doesn't respond to it there's nothing they can do.

I should be feeling more but I'm not.

Anybody who's ever been interested in watching me work on my stuff, I'm trying out LiveStream.
