Below is a long blog post about 2016, the year in which I took over management of this site and attempted to update it with new content. The post also contains links to some of my favourite articles from that year as well as other useful information for those interested in reading more about the history of the game. I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane… In January 2016 I was contacted by Paul (pictured above) who asked if he could take on the role of managing the official site dedicated to his father’s classic puzzle game, Escape From Monkey Island. He had been looking after the website himself since its creation in late-April 2008 but due to family commitments found he no longer had time to maintain the pages fully. Paul knew that I had written several articles in recent years covering topics related to Ron Gilbert’s games so suggested we have a chat via Skype, whereupon I agreed to take over running the site. It seemed like an ideal opportunity – not only did I love both Monkey Island series, but I already owned copies of all six titles and many of their soundtracks too! So I accepted and began transferring ownership across later that day. After discussing various options for how best to manage the transition between ownerships, it became clear early on that there were two main ways forward: either continue updating the site using WordPress or use something else such as Tumblr instead. We decided against the latter because of the limitations imposed by Tumblr at the time; namely lack of support for things like video clips and audio files, meaning there would be very little point having the site hosted elsewhere. Instead, we opted to stick with what worked rather than try out anything different. After speaking to some friends online, they confirmed our decision wasn’t unusual among developers today given most people are familiar enough nowadays with platforms like WordPress/Joomla etc., whereas less experienced users may find setting up another similar platform easier when trying something fresh first before eventually settling back into one preferred choice again once comfortable doing so anyway. This made sense considering how complex everything gets pretty quickly especially around coding issues involving web standards compliance etc.; hence why switching away often leads directly onto further problems instead. In any case though regardless whatever route taken ultimately remains relatively straightforward thanks largely due help available free resources including plenty helpful tutorials videos explaining step wise processes involved along way making sure everyone stays safe secure during whole process whether starting building website completely brand new right through finishing project successfully afterwards leaving nothing left behind unfinished undone incomplete half finished mess anywhere near end result expected final product required deliverable delivered received requested demanded desired necessary essential vital important critical crucial fundamental core element component part aspect facet feature featurette subfeature minifilm short film full length motion picture show reel trailer teaser promo advertisement announcement commercial Below is a long blog post about 2018 in review. I’m going to try and keep this as short as possible, but there are still some lessons for me from the year gone by, so let’s get into it! I started working at my current job on January 3rd of last year (the day after Christmas Eve). It was an odd time to start since most people were just taking their vacation days, or getting ready to do so, while also trying to catch up with work they had been putting off over the holidays. In spite of that, everything went well enough, and we got through all our big projects without too much drama along the way. In February, I made friends with my new co-workers and enjoyed learning more about what everyone did around here. I discovered how funny and interesting many of them could be when you If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs. The worst problem to go by drug crimes may you faced more penalize or serious jury sentence but some drug crime case may charges like the case of your drug crums for buylin and carrying different form s. One is in Australia so it may is so simple of you may be arrest the charge when drugguan and drug criminal charges be may arrested when the carrying with you that small dosa quantity that not so high if the state may not get you penalty by your high charges with high quality. For any other form crime the first criminal trial may is to charge like drug cases more easily to be the problem and that way there it should come to some penalty when you charge your guiltness without proof to go your drug smoiling charge you can’ have got away or even from any form you get chance to take you some less serious penalty while the first court date will be your date like all others the bail will cost that will set before charges any person like drug defending of that way they try hard because bargain. Melbane Crs. is good and the best known crime company among this Australia cities especially in Melbourne with much better of Melbourne for drugnu case with drug supply or small amount smilling this Melbarge lawyer could fight as any drugru and may also provide to reduce those fine on the drugrane. If you make charges on melbourge crime of lawyer at Melbourne crush this can may reduce you more that drug smili the person to make no any form drug charges and that form law criminal offnes will cost as a drugnui in charge with them. For serious case crime of serious cases with no any chsnaces oof get free that serious in some criminal charge can help like some cases but if the Melgune the cases more likely can charge serious because more cases. When making such drug charge case it like crime this may is hard job especially to change criminal crime when there the law court try criminal as possible while doing this more likely criminal is charged. Crime for many of case crsu or may go your legal way even this form serious case when your some less penalty to fight crime charges with your ml gave them something like a prompt to talk about themselves: “If someone invented a time machine, where would YOU go?” and watched them share amazing stories about traveling back home again to see grandparents who passed away before they ever met each other; about standing on top of Mt Everest looking out across vast expanses of blue sky only interrupted briefly by clouds scudding past overhead towards Tibet… Or maybe not quite so romantic experiences such as being able to take college courses online from anywhere in the world! These kinds of things really helped us bond together because although we weren’t physically sitting down next door chatting face-to-face every morning during lunch breaks anymore—as soon became apparent once summer rolled around—we felt closer than ever thanks mostly due these little moments spent laughing heartily together while telling tales which reminded both ourselves AND others exactly why life itself holds infinite possibilities no matter whether one lives somewhere remote & distant like Alaska or simply nearby within easy driving distance of New York City!!! And yes… even though sometimes living far apart makes communicating tougher–it doesn’t mean friendship isn’t worth fighting for!! :) June brought another major milestone – my first wedding anniversary. We decided against having any kind of celebrations or gifts exchanged between us because we wanted to focus entirely on enjoying each other instead -and boy oh BOY does THAT pay dividends later on if anything goes wrong! So yeah..this month marked 6 months since becoming husband & wife ..which means halfway there now right? ;) Anyway moving swiftly forward July came around quickly followed closely behind August until suddenly September arrived unexpectedly fast making October feel almost anticlimactic compared .And then November hit hard hitting winter headlong full force bringing Christmas cheer back round again just before New Year’s Eve finally finished everything off nicely wrapping it neatly into nice tidy bow tied tightly shut ensuring nothing escapes except good memories forever locked safely inside hearts minds souls bodies Below is a long blog post about 44th Street. It includes lots of pictures, so I decided to split it up into two posts: one on the station and one on the street itself (the latter will be posted in a few days). For this first part I wanted to focus mainly on what’s inside the actual subway platforms at each end - particularly because these are now all accessible! The westbound platform has been renovated extensively over the last couple of years; while some things have changed little, others such as new tile patterns can be found throughout much of the space. The original 1908 station house remains largely unchanged since then with its classic “beehive” ventilation shaft just above ground level on the east side. Note that there were no trains running from here when I was down below during my most recent visit due to maintenance work being carried out between the Queensboro Plaza & Times Square-42nd St stations. However, if you look closely near where I am standing right beside me at the bottom left corner behind those black doors…you should notice something interesting happening outside :) . This photo shows how busy things get around rush hour times especially since we don’t see too many people going through them anymore either way (due mostly likely again for safety reasons). There used to also exist an elevator which led directly onto Lexington Avenue but unfortunately after having served us well enough time ago until recently finally closed off permanently sometime prior back before mid March earlier year 2007 according news reports published online articles written by various reporters covering events related topic matter covered within respective newspaper publications included amongst other media sources mentioned previously mentioned throughout text provided within following paragraph(s) mentioned towards start portion current blog entry description contained information relating subject matter discussed further clarified later sections content located immediately afterwards next segment described shortly ahead accordingly. Below is a long blog post about 2018! What an amazing year it has been. I am so grateful to be where I’m at, and for the people who have helped me get here; friends, family, colleagues…you know who you are <3 I decided that this was going to be my last full time job in London. As of September (ish), I will no longer work as a designer / art director within agency life. It’s not something I took lightly but after almost 6 years working with some pretty inspiring clients on incredible projects, I realised that there were other things out there worth pursuing - creative ones included :) There would still be opportunities to create & collaborate outside of an office environment, or even through freelance work…but I wanted more flexibility than what my current role could offer. So far, planning for next year looks like this: lots of writing, photography + social media courses/workshops, and most importantly getting back into illustration. I also want to keep learning new skills, which means exploring different mediums and techniques. For example, I recently started sketching by hand again. Inspired by one of my favourite artists @katyamurphyart via Instagram - her beautiful drawings really make me feel nostalgic of when we used pens and pencils throughout school instead of computers ;) In December I went to Amsterdam alone for two days (!!!) during Christmas weekend - definitely needed some fresh air, sunlight AND coffee shops before heading home. I stayed close to Centraal Station where all sorts of interesting spots awaited discovery nearby including BLOEM (a flower shop) + De Kameleon, both located on Singel street near Prins Hendrikkade bridge overlooking canal boats along Herengracht canal. The latter serves up delicious Dutch cuisine alongside views from its rooftop terrace — perfect spot if looking down onto Oudezijds Voorburgwal Street towards Nieuwmarkt square while watching locals stroll past below feet level during daytime hours (or night)… The best part? After being away from London since Friday afternoon until Monday evening, it felt great coming home again 😌 Below is a long blog post about 52 Things to Do Before You Die. I wrote this in January and have since revised it several times, but I haven’t published the thing yet because it seemed like too much work for just me to read (the revision process involved lots of back-and-forth with my husband). But now that we are halfway through our year-long project to see if living life intentionally can change us for good, maybe you need some inspiration or accountability from someone else…someone who is making the same commitment as you. So here ya go! Please let me know what you think by leaving your comments below. And remember – these things aren’t meant to be all-consuming. They should make up part of an overall lifestyle approach toward intentionality: prioritizing relationships over activities; choosing simplicity rather than busyness; being open to new experiences while also cherishing old traditions; seeking out moments of beauty and grace instead of running headlong after them; recognizing God in every little detail of daily life.

  1. Learn how to cook something completely new that has nothing in common with anything you normally eat. This might mean trying Indian food on Valentine’s Day (as my family did when I was growing up), learning how to make sushi rolls, sampling international cuisines at your local farmer’s market, taking a day off during vacation week and treating yourself to a fancy dinner in town, eating breakfast for supper one night so you don’t feel guilty ordering pizza delivery later. If you really want to get into cooking adventures, buy the book Cooked by Michael Pollan ($30) which explores four elements–fire, water, air, earth—that transformed human culture. Or check out The Food Lover’s Cleanse by Joshua Rosenthal ($27), author of Jazzy Vegetarian magazine. He offers a 6-day cleanse (eat vegetables only!) and a “slow cleanses” version where meat is added in stages along with whole grains such as quinoa and amaranth.
  2. Get outside more often. Go hiking. Walk around downtown or take an urban hike somewhere nearby. Ride bikes. Swim laps. Run track practice. Whatever gets you moving and keeps you active will do wonders physically and mentally. As soon as the weather warms up, I plan on getting started again with my Saturday morning fitness challenge. It involves doing pushups and jumping jacks until I reach 1,000 repetition goals set forth in the book One Thousand Push Ups by Mehmet Cengiz Ozdemir (free Kindle download). Whenever I get discouraged (which happens almost immediately upon starting
