This is cool! I've been into chess the last while and have started to want to collect chess sets. Even though this is expensive, wouldn't it be a great conversation piece? Can you imagine playing this down at the EMU?

We had a party at my apartment for small group. I whipped up a box cake and had ice cream. It was great.

I'm starting to feel like I'm washing dishes all the time. Not having a dishwasher is annoying. I'm discovering I need a drainer, dish cloths, and various other things for the kitchen.
