Now that I’m a few hours closer to Las Vegas than I’ve been in a few years, I finally have to find a way to make the trip. I’m pretty sure that things have changed just a little bit since my last trip to las vegas 20 years ago. Yeah, pretty sure about that. Good thing that the internet is here to give me lots of tips and advice about making the trip that should come in handy whether I’m looking to lose a load at the tables or take in a show on the Strip.

Closer to Vegas
Sunday, October 19th, 2008The beginning of the Ender
Sunday, October 19th, 2008That’s right, constant reader.
Ender’s Game is looking closer and closer to becoming a reality.
The downside is that Wolfgang Petersen has dropped out as director of the project. The good news is that they are actively looking for a new director so they can start casting all of the kids so they can start shooting next year!
Exciting, huh?
Also on the plus side is the recent release of an “Ender’s Game” comic book. The few pages that I saw online looked very promising.
Can’t wait to see it on the big screen.
Green Bean Casserole recipe
Sunday, October 19th, 2008Now I’ve never been a big fan of the old green bean casserole, but this looks like the absolute best recipe for the stuff that I’ve ever come across. The best part about the website by far is the ability to post and save your recipes and also to access the saved recipes that others have left on the site. So find the best and most used three-by-five cards in your old recipe holder, post them on this site, and let me try out your tastiest treat.
“The Day the Earth Stood Still” preview
Sunday, October 19th, 2008On our recent trip to California I was somewhat surprised to see billboards around Southern California advertising the newest sci-fi remake of “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Basically, an alien comes to Earth, gets hassled by the man, and sets loose a giant robot to wreak havoc until Earthlings learn not to be so gosh-darned violent.
However, there have been a few changes in the fifty years since the original. (Woulda been kinda hard to sell modern audiences on the giant robot deal.) No longer is there a robot, now we have a giant sphere-shaped cloud of destruction. And no longer is there a clean cut alien. Now we have Keanu Reeves.
Keanu. Verata. Nikto.
I may not be first in line to see this one. You had me ’til you said Keanu.
