Canine Christmas
Sunday, December 21st, 2008The Most Pointless Game Ever
Sunday, December 21st, 2008And yet I finished it. What does that say about me?
This fun little gem of a game is a little spoof off of the XBOX achievements that get unlocked almost constantly while playing any game. A little message shows up saying the name of the achievement that you’ve just completed. Most of the time no one even knows what they did to unlock it, and eventually no one even pays attention.
Well, you’ve got to pay attention in this game. There is no other point then unlocking the 100 achievements. Thankfully there is a help page. You even unlock an achievement for clicking on the hint button.
So give Achievement Unlocked a chance. It killed 30 minutes for me.
Las Vegas Strip (Mall)
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008Going down to your local strip mall and visiting the hobby shop isn’t quite the same as going down to the Strip in Las Vegas. Buy you can be as prepared for your Nevada vacation as you are making the short trip down to the corner store by doing a little bit of research ahead of time to ensure that everything is taken care of before you arrive with a las vegas strip map.
Quantum of Solace – review
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008I’ve been a fan of the James Bond books and movies for quite a while. Really ever since we first got cable in the early 90′s and I discovered the joys of weekend-long James Bond marathons. My 8th grade English teacher gave me a stack of old James Bond paperbacks that I digested in junior high. Surprisingly, the title of one of the short stories in one of those paperbacks was brought back for the newest and 22nd Bond flick. Quantum of Solace. I probably didn’t give the title a second thought back then, but it just sounds kind of weird now.
Anyway, the movie begins right where Casino Royale leaves off. Since I didn’t quite retain a memory of all of the characters and plot twists of Casino Royale, I was a little behind as the film got underway. The opening action sequence is pretty good and had me hoping for better things to come. After Bond’s third trip across the Atlantic, I had ceased really caring a whole lot about the story that was being told and cared a whole lot more about seeing some good action sequences. After alternating between Bond killing someone and one of Bond’s friends getting killed, it didn’t really seem to matter anymore.
Now, I’m all for a complex and nuanced film, but the villains in this movie just seemed so unimportant. Trying to horde all of the world’s water. You fail at villainy.
Final verdict – just another Bond movie.
Secure Me
Monday, December 15th, 2008The best way to insure the valuables of your home that are absolutely irreplaceable is with one of those state-of-the-art security systems. Make sure that you also have homeowner’s or renter’s insurance, that you back up all important computer files (learned that one the hard way) and that you work with your neighbors to ensure a safe and secure neighborhood. But don’t forget the alarm system.
DM of the Ring
Thursday, December 11th, 2008Now that I’ve spent the better part of the last two hours reading through a thoroughly funny comic strip about trying to DM the classic Lord of the Rings, I think that I’ve come across one of the funniest pages in the extremely long series.
I recommend starting at the beginning.
But this one is really funny.
True, so very true.
Monty Python reference (one of many).
Mario reference.
Exercise gifts
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Now if you decide to get someone any sort of exercise equipment, like ellipticals, for a gift (for Christmas or a birthday or for Arbor Day) you have to make super sure of a couple of things. First, did your friend or relative ask for exercise equipment? If the answer is yes, then go ahead with your plan to purchase said equipment. Second, what will the recipient’s first reaction be? If you believe it will be, “Awesome, just what I wanted,” then go ahead. If there is any chance at all that the reaction will be, “So you’re saying I’m fat,” then you may want to reconsider your gift idea.
Four Christmases
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008SPOILER ALERT – a baby spits up on a person.
I saw Four Christmases recently and it was a nice, light, relatively funny movie with two EXTREMELY funny scenes in which Reese Witherspoon gets spat up on by babies. Vince Vaughn then looks as though he’s going to vomit. Of course this took me back to when my oldest was a baby and I had my husband change his diaper (not for the first time) and then my husband came to me and told me he had thrown up.
I laughed.
I told others.
I guess that wasn’t the response he had expected and he has since denied throwing up. Apparently the stigma of throwing up after changing your babies diaper is worse than the stigma attached to lying.
And the movie was worth watching too.
Plantar Fasciitis
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008With more and more people complaining of foot pain (and with the holidays approaching), you should be thinking of getting some sort of foot care products for anyone on your list with foot pain. If you know someone suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, then there are a number of splints or wraps or other pain-relieving foot accessories to help with the condition. Don’t forget that losing weight and exercising are also key to solving the problem.
4 Little Cuties
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Don’t blame me if all my posts seem to be about my kids lately. I haven’t talked about them in a while and I’ve got some real cuties and I’ve lost the will to resist telling inane stories that no one who doesn’t know them will really care about. Actually I know you will because they are just SO CUUUUTE!!!!
My older daughter finds coins pretty frequently. She picks them up and says “It’s my lucky day!” The fact that she’s 3 is what makes this funny. The thing is, she also loses them pretty frequently too and it has become apparent that she thinks coins are called ‘lucky days’ because then she will say, “Where’s my lucky day?”
