So, I admit, I’m a little behind on this one. Taliesin, by Stephen R. Lawhead, was released in 1990, but I only recently picked it up on a visit to Barnes & Noble when I was looking for something to take with me on my trip to California. I wanted something different to read...
So. Yesterday was my birthday. I received three cards, some money and three free meals. Friday, my friend Quinn bought me lunch at a favorite haunt of mine: Hacienda Colorado. Friday night, I bought myself a couple of DVD’s and the Diablo Warchest. I also went to dinner with my mom, who took me...
(this never posted when I was actually riding around in the shuttle, so I’m gonna go ahead and put it up today. I’ll post much, much more about the Blizzcon trip this week as time permits) So. I know there are lots of horror stories about people getting into car accidents because they were...
Wow. I really didn’t like this at all. I hate to have to say that, because I really liked Angel when it was on tv, but, this series? I really don’t care for it. A little backstory for the uninformed. Angel was once Liam, the son of a middle class linen merchant in Galway...
I have arrived! ~P
Well, the trip is on! I am kicking back at DIA, waiting for my flight. Should be about 20 minutes. I must give credit where credit I’d due: security, though tight, moved quickly. I don’t think it took 10 minutes. It’ll be interesting to compare with LAX on Sunday. Well, that’s it for now....
Just a quick post. It seems weird to me, going on an actual vacation. This is not something that I ever do. I don’t ‘get away’. I don’t ‘take time off’ – it’s all very foreign to me. And yet, here I am, about to take off to California for a week to chill...
I recently talked about the author L.E. Modesitt Jr. and his book, Natural Ordermage. Well, there was a second piece to that story that takes up almost immediately where the first book left off: Mage-Guard of Hamor. Again, this is set in the Recluse saga and follows the further adventures of Rahl, Recluse exile...
It’s no secret that author L.E. Modesitt Jr. is a favorite of mine. His Recluse and Spellsong Cycle books are among my favorites, going into the ‘re-read’ category of my little library here at home – meaning, I re-read them from time to time just as I do with The Lord of the Rings...
I know, I know – I’ve ranted about the music industry before, but they simply won’t go away and that means I have to continue to rant about their overwhelming stupidity. They are still not content with the billions of money that they make on the crap produced and distributed every year. They are...
Wow. Or, WoW. Four years of World of Warcraft. I can’t believe it’s been four years. With Blizzcon approaching, I’ve been thinking back on how Warcraft has impacted my life. At best I can be considered a casual player these days. It’s probably more realistic to call me an occasional player in that I...
So. One week til Blizzcon. I’m starting to get excited! Believe it or not, for me, it’s more about getting away and seeing friends than it is about going to a video gaming convention. WoW has made me a lot of good friends and hanging out with them is going to be fun. It’s...
Hello, I’m a Mac. No, seriously. I love Mac. I love Apple. I’ve had some issues with their retail stores, but it looks like the one closest to me is under new management or something and it’s like being in a different store, so I think those issues are fading fairly quickly. So, when...
Tonight was the season premiere of Chuck on NBC. Chuck is a guy who works for a Best Buy like company in the ‘Nerd Herd’ – think ‘Geek Squad’ and you’ve pretty much got it. His arch enemy from college sends him an email one night that ends up getting downloaded into his brain...
So. I got an iPhone. My old Sprint phone had been broken for a while. I really needed something new but, of course, Sprint would give me nothing. I wasn’t eligible for an upgrade. And, let’s be honest – even when you ae ‘eiligible for an upgrade’, that really only means they’re going to...
