More specifically, making zombie and other cookies based on a zombie hunting game, State of Decay. We made them for Kennedy's fiance's birthday. She worked on the popular game, produced by Undead Labs.
Tho the zombies are a little frightening, the game has lots of fun graphics on (fake) businesses within the game, so a number of my cookies had to do with that. ...
My favorite cookie was the mascot for the T-Rexpresso stand found in the game.
MONDAY, MONDAY: Yesterday was mostly devoted to cookies, but on Monday, we had big fun. We worked around the campus in the morning, but in the afternoon we drove north to Everett, first stop Thornton A. Sullivan Park at Silver Lake.
The 35.3 acre park has a sandy beach along the lake with a swimming area. The afternoon was 75 ish and muggy, warm enough for CJ and Annabelle to be all in the water, but CJ chose to mostly wade. And splash his sister. ;)
Annabelle spent nearly an hour in the water, and at one point, enjoyed a family of ducks parading by.
Afterward, we met G&G from Vancouver at Mill Creek McMenamins for a very happy hour!
FURTHER BACK: I've been meaning to post this for a couple weeks now. There's a really great mural on the backside of the school the kids attend weekly in Shoreline. Starry Night has always been a favorite.
TRIPPY: We are in the final week of our History of Rock n Roll (Part 1) Coursera class and we've approached the intro to psychedelia. What started off as a sub-sub culture quickly became a prominent part of the music scene. There was music crafted to be part of an (LSD) trip, but there was also music intended to be the trip itself.
One of the things we learned today was that The Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever" was the first song featuring a sample-playback keyboard (the Mellotron, predating the synthesizer).
