 “Mudbug Spread” Austin, 2017

こんばんは。How’s it going?

I rarely post about work, but I wanted to share one cool thing that the company I work at does for us – social events. We’ll occasionally have fun stuff at the Austin HQ such as pizza lunches, BBQ lunches, happy hour and appetizers, or cupcake afternoons. But today was something extra special. A crawfish boil! We gathered in the courtyard where tables were set up lined with paper, upon which heaps of steaming crawfish, potatoes, sausage, and corn were dumped from giant pots. It was quite a sight! This was perhaps the first time I’ve actually been to a crawfish boil like this, and I enjoyed it! I like crawfish, and the sausage was spicy.

Unfortunately, I could only stay for a little while because I had to get back home and pick up the kids, but I definitely got my fill of mudbugs!

Tonight the forecast is for a storm. Heavy rain, high winds, and hail are possible. 😳

Cloud photo

The photo above is one I took at around 6 PM when the wind was picking up and you could feel the changes in the air. At least the crazy weather brings with it some interesting clouds. 😄

Artwork

This evening I was browsing the work of an amazing digital artist. I just love Ilya Kuvshinov’s art! Simply fantastic.

I found many other great artists and illustrators this evening, but I’ll share them at future dates. Just so much cool stuff out there. 😄

I hope you had a nice Tuesday.

 “At the Library” Cedar Park, 2017

こんばんは。How’s it going? Have a nice Sunday?

This afternoon I went to the library to return a couple movies that I borrowed, and while there I checked the catalog to see if a book I have been wanting to read was available. I’ve done this for several months now, but always the online catalog would say “0 copies available”. Once in a while, book two or book three of the trilogy are available, but never book one.

Today, though, the catalog said “1 copy available” for book one, and also books 2 and 3! I went to the stacks and only found book 3. 😕 So I asked the librarian to check on it, and she said that someone might have returned them this afternoon and then she went off to look. A minute later she returned with books one and two in hand! 😄

So, with a smile on my face, I checked out all three of “The School for Good and Evil” books and headed out the door. My lucky day!

And now it is time to get reading. I’m sure someone will place a hold on the book, which means no renewals for me, so I got to finish it quickly!
