We had a pre-Christmas dinner last night at Grammy's house. It's common for us to do that because usually my aunt and uncle aren't available for Christmas Eve. Turns out that would have been possible this year after the fact, but no one knew because Jennie and Doug only mentioned it at dinner. So, yeah we got prime rib for dinner including roasted ( Read more... )

So, I found myself going to Crown Books again on Tuesday. I found a couple books, nearly bought a couple others, but stuck to just two. There's some nice gems there. I decided to explore further beyond the fantasy/sci-fi section because amongst all the used books, there are those from the fantasy/sci-fi genre that sometimes pop out. I also went to ( Read more... )

I have Chomper as my userpic now because I've been getting into Land Before Time again, and yes I admit it, I like the sequels. Of course they'll never be as great as the first movie, but I still enjoy them as their own separate thing. Kinda like fanfiction. Chomper is my favorite character. He's awesome. :P Yep, I've watched all the sequels except ( Read more... )

I saw Public Enemies yesterday. Here was my brief thoughts from Flixster on it

"A bit slow and hard to follow sometimes, but very good. Dillinger sure got cocky toying with the law like he did. An excellent performance from Depp."Yeah, if I were a gangster I would definitely not make some of the decisions John Dillinger made in this movie. :P ( Read more... )

I've been thinking back to my childhood and reliving it. Watching movies and commercials of that time and it really transports me back. It makes me feel both very happy and depressed. I feel a longing for these times again to the point where the present feels unreal. I wish things were the way they were before. It's easier to think the past was ( Read more... )

F*ck! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090618/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_nuclear All I can say is, I'm glad we didn't go to Hawaii on vacation this summer ( Read more... )

So, I've just recently discovered what Twitter is. I mean I kept hearing about it, and thinking what the hell is that? I knew it was some kind of social networking site like Myspace or Facebook, but now I've seen what it actually is. It seems the most ridiculous latest fad on the internet yet. It looks even worse than Facebook/Myspace. It looks ( Read more... )

The other day I was watching clips of the old show Nick Arcade on Youtube. I remember thinking how cool it was that the kids got to go inside a video game at the end. I always wondered how they did that and it made me want to go inside one of my video games.

Then just last night I caught The Witches on TV. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid. That ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving was nice. The food was great and last night I felt happier then I have for a while. I also played Culpa Innata all day and I finished it. The game ended on a cliff hanger and left me with a lot of questions. Actually it's almost as bad as Dreamfall in that regard. I'm beginning to sense a trend here. Why is that adventure games these ( Read more... )

I just went through some studying for sociology of childhood. It took a long time, and have set my final paper for sociology of familes aside once again ( Read more... )
