On a lazy Saturday, Nick, Jessie & I decided the gun range might be a really fun activity. Here you can see Nick firing the 9mm H&K USP that we rented. Bang bang.
I can't remember the last time I went to the gun range, but I had a very fun time. I hope we can continue to go shooting every now and then so I can keep practicing my marksmanship skills. Also, it'd be enjoyable to try some larger caliber rounds next time...
I saw this recipe for a spinach and pumpkin lasagna online. Instead of using pasta sheets, the recipe called for layering of the pumpkin slices in between the typical lasagna filler of sauce and cheese. Quite tasty, though I think next time it would be even better with some meat (ground turkey would be a very nice match).
Along with a significant number of friends, I began to play "Draw Something" (thanks Deryck for introducing me). In fact, I still do. To date, I think the above represents my most elaborate (maybe best?) drawing. Try and tell me you wouldn't have guessed that correctly from the brilliant drawing!
Beef stew ala Mum's recipe. Used some really tasty grass-fed beef from the local market in addition to some of the veggies that I got in my monthly delivery. Yum!
Went to see a screening of the amazing movie "Boy" by the Oscar Nominated Taika Waititi. Small crowd, but after the excellent film, Taika himself conducted a brief Q&A that offered some insight into his filmmaking choices. Very likable and witty person. Hope to see more from him in the not too distant future! Go see the movie in cinemas near you!!!
After a failed attempt to Go-Kart (we didn't want to wait 3.5 hours for the next available time) or play laser tag (fully booked out for the day), a group of us ended up at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. We got to see some really cool things in this neat museum tucked away not too far from many of the famous companies of Silicon Valley (literally a few blocks away from Google). One of the cool things I saw: an Enigma machine from WWII.
And, an awesome display of almost every video game console imaginable. Quite a neat slice of history for sure.
Hope you enjoyed the pics. Until next time...
