Lise needs

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Apparently there’s a game in google where you search for: “[your first name] needs” and then list the top ten

So here are my needs:

1. Lise needs a song
2. Lise needs to be redefined
3. Lise needs a good amount of INT to learn her summons, even though they use PIE
4. Lise needs people to help work that evening
5. Lise needs all she can get in that area if she’s going to be the main attacker
6. Lise needs more full-blooded playing than Cojocaru’s Giselle-like start
7. Lise needs to exude magnetism
8. Lise needs him to come visit her
9. Lise needs them
10. Lise needs to feel that she protects Annabelle, even if she doesn’t exactly understand why

Right…

Settlers VI: screenshots

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Fluffeh (my boyfriend) just got a new, shiny laptop and I’ve sort of taken over the daily use of it since it’s much better than my own laptop and he usually works from his base unit. Settlers VI runs like a dream on this one, so I took the opportunity to get some better screenshots than I got from my laptop and figured I’d make a blogpost with them. I have cropped the images a fair bit, so they make more interesting pictures than having my whole screen on. Hover the mouse over the pictures to see my comments.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures :)

Candlemaking

Friday, January 9th, 2009

So I have started up with some hobbies, something I haven’t really done very much of since before I started university, despite loving this kind of activities. Some of the things I’m doing are making handbags, candles and some crocheting.

Today was the first time I tried candlemaking, which turned out to be very fun and there are many pretty candles you can make that look special and will be lovely accessories when we (my partner and I) get a new place.

I got a beginners candlemaking kit for Christmas, which is the reason I’m taking it up. I actually didn’t realise how easy it is to do this stuff yourself! The projects described in the book all seem very manageable, and the things you need for making them are all stuff you should be able to find in any well established kitchen (which excludes our very simple student kitchen, so I did have to get some items for it).

Anyways, today I did some very simple starter candles in molds that came with the starter set, and here are some pictures I took with the lovely camera my father and stepmother got me for christmas:

Since it’s my first time making them, they don’t look perfect, of course, but I’m still very happy with the result!
