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 →

One, Superman. Two, I haven’t talked about it much but I’m a Lego game maniac. Three, of course my favorite Lego character is Superman. And, four, they included Lois, Jon & Krypto. I could go on. And on. Seriously, going into overload here.Read More →

originally posted April 27, 2005 I have to say that Maili almost ruined my morning when her blog was posted on Romancing the Blog this morning because I hate the topic of reviews and kept telling myself to just ignore it because I was feeling bad to begin with. (I’ve had recurring migraines for the last week and found out yesterday it was because of a sinus infection. Now there’s an “ugh” for you.) I even told myself to just wait because someone else would dissent over there and then I wouldn’t have to. Oh, well, not happening, so I finally decided to be theRead More →

After diving in head first and posting like mad to test out some features and plugins for the last month or so, I decided it’s time for the real blogging to begin. But first I spent some time today begining to update the About page. It is by no means finished but it’s a start in the right direction. Also just so everyone knows, my plan for now is to post 3 or 4 times a week. Usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the occasional Saturday Superhero post just for fun. Ok, sure, that doesn’t mean I won’t be posting about superheroes the rest ofRead More →

My father passed away late last night. Not the best Father’s Day news but in one sense I’m glad it didn’t happen today and that he’s finally at peace. And it did happen peacefully with my mother, sister, myself and Kent (my ex who’s been like a son to my parents) at his side at the nursing facility. Daddy had been moved there on Friday after yet another quick trip to the hospital where it was decided by all that it was time to place him on palliative care, i.e. essentially no longer trying to save him but simply making him comfortable, because the doctors feltRead More →

I think I’m back in fighting form, more or less. Haven’t been back to the doctor yet for more blood tests but I’m definitely feeling better and especially not as fatigued. That was starting to get old.  On the plus side, this weekend I was able to catch up on Doctor Who in anticipation of the new Doctor debuting on Oct 7. (Well, in Britian anyway.) Honestly, I have to admit that I have conflicted feelings about the next Doctor being a woman. On the one hand, I really like the idea of them finally going in that direction. On the other, though, I’m honestlyRead More →
