This past weekend I went to my grandma's funeral.  She died Thursday morning.  She was having trouble breathing and the hospis nurse gave her a bunch of morphine to take away the pain, so at least she went without pain.  She was ready, and had been for the last 2 and a half months, which made it easier on us, or me at least, since she wasn't scared ( Read more... )

Why must they all be so overpriced?  Although I really don't want all of them, just this one:

            A sea of people were standing in the endless, labyrinthine line at the airport.  Some shifted their weight uncomfortably as they stood, others were crying, but most appeared in a daze, either unaware or strangely indifferent to the airport, how they got there, and where they were going.  None carried any luggage.

Over the years I have been a big Nintendo fan, and have only questioned the crazy decisions your company makes once (Mario Kart Double Dash: and I still say it was a bad idea to have 2 people in one kart).  But this....this is not the Nintendo that I have followed over the years.  What I saw today you should be ashamed of.  What I ( Read more... )

Ok, lots of good stuff. Thank goodness for G4 and it's commercial-free coverage of the press conference.

First of all, the expected games.
Fallout 3: It looks even more amazing than I was expecting, and the real-time/turn-based combat...brilliant. That's a must-have.

I want to soar.

To people and places unbound by my imagination.

That which is not real

Bursts into existence on the page.

I cannot be bound
