It's been a crazy couple of weeks in WhiskeyLand.

And oh, do I have pictures.

I finally broke down and ordered myself a new phone--because the old brick phone wasn't cutting it anymore. Seriously, don't hate, people. With a new phone comes Instagram--again, stop looking at me that way. I know I qualify, and I'll ride that fixie uphill both ways.

Let's see, where to start...I think we'll start with a little jewelry pimpage for my Dado. Dado made me this beautiful beaded set by himself--that's a necklace, two bracelets, and a pair of earrings, using traditional beading and beadweaving methods. I love everything he's made me so far, and this is no exception. Thanks, Dad!

More news, including CAX photos, food, and even crafts (I KNOW RIGHT), after the jump.

Also, this happened. Yes, that is a 7th Doctor pinball machine.

This is a prototype pinball machine I BELIEVE built for Bally. I can't remember specifics, so I'll edit when I find my notes on this particular machine. Yes, it's the Pinball Wizard version of the Tommy machine, and yes, that's the 10 million super bonus. I was jumping up and down when this photo was taken.

Also, because I promised actual crafts--here's a bag in progress what I am currently making. It's made of a super-flexible, soft nylon/rayon/polyester bled, and it's ABOUT a DK weight. I crocheted it in a neat herringbone stitch with additional single crochet stitches, in the round entirely.
Pretty nice stuff, and it fits my ENTIRE 11" LAPTOP inside. I am kind of in love with this thing.

And, because I promised...

Here's your gratuitous food porn of the day. That's a pork butt roast, with pig powder on top, ready to go into the oven, low and slow.
You're welcome, internet.
