Over the years I’ve collected so many of these Thanksgiving “cards” that I can never decide which to use. So I simply use them all. Happy Thanksgiving.Read More →

So, I’m trying out the brand new Age of Mythology: Retold (2024) this week to mixed success. It’s a rerelease of the original Age of Mythology with major upgrades to some of the core mechanics. Basically, it’s the same game but has some new features, mainly to catch it up to today’s technology, I think. And I’m not sure I like it. Or, maybe, I’m just having trouble getting used to the new setup. We’ll see. For literally years, Age of Mythology (2002) from Ensemble Studies & Microsoft has been my all-time favorite game to play on the computer. Seriously, bar none, this is theRead More →

Originally posted on May 16, 2006 (See addendum at end of post) I just caught myself re-watching the ending to the movie Dirty Dancing. Again. Please note that I do not own a copy of this movie and I never re-watch the entire thing. I’m not even sure I like the whole thing. Yet, somehow, I routinely manage to find a way to re-watch the last ten minutes or so of it whenever I run across it on the tube and it’s replayed an amazing number of times so that’s added up over the years. I just love the ending of that movie, though. There’sRead More →

In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston came out today and I bought it on ebook the second I woke up. I only realized yesterday the hero was Shen Li, the panda shifter from Bite Me. I think my brain just exploded. I honestly never thought she’d give Shen his own book. Also, this definitely means I get more Vic for sure & possibly Livy from my top favorite in the Pride series, Bite Me. Double yah! Now back to reading. Read More →

Over the recent Labor Day weekend, during some down time I was burned out on detective shows, didn’t want to read and finally pulled out this game. Of all the various Zelda games I think this one is the best followed closely by its direct sequel Majora’s Mask. It’s truly amazing how much it holds up considering it came out in 1998.  I’m having a ball playing it in my free time this week but one thing I’d forgotten is how usefull that horse is once you get her. Seriously. Read More →

The first is one of the most iconic images of them kissing because it evokes her finding out his secret. Read More →

I like to rewatch and reread things. I know this. It’s like a craving to revisit favorites at times. Lately I’ve been in the mood to rewatch the tv series Fringe. The problem is that it’s not available on any streaming service that I have access to. At least that I’ve been able to find. You know when I first started watching that series, I wasn’t even sure I was going to like it. But I did and it’s become one of my all time favorites. Didn’t hurt that it has a very strong, if quirky, romance in it.Read More →
