I'm sitting here downing a delicious bottle of cider (Fox Barrel Blackberry Pear = new favorite EVER) after a very uneventful day off. We were going to grill up some burgers with our neighbors tonight, but one of them fell sick, so instead I made some Spaghetti alla Carbonara for Luke and I which OMG SO HEAVY. (But so good.)

I suppose I should update, now that it's 2012 and all. The new year has kicked off rather well.

Hey, remember 2009, and how I couldn't shut up about Uncharted 2?

So I'm about a hundred years late to this party, but I still want to talk about the mind-melting awesomeness of PORTAL, and how you should play both of these games RIGHT NOW if you like any of the following ( Read more... )

Okay, we all know how much I love the Nolan Batfilms. I am beyond stoked for The Dark Knight Rises and beyond grateful for the ways in which Batman's film incarnation has been redeemed over the past few years ( Read more... )
