A Big Mistake

By |

I forgot my anniversary.   Well, one of them.   December 18 is when Laura and I met, October 31 is the day we got married, and February 23 is the day our marriage was consecrated in the church (as in, legally wed according The Church).   I can’t tell you how long we’ve been…

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed Xbox 360 Review

It’s easy to create a kart style racing game. Toss a bunch of characters together, make the track colorful, add some power-ups and make the physics more cartoon-based.

Ice Age: Continental Drift Blu-ray

What is this – the 4th Ice Age movie? This is turning into a heck of a franchise. A bit of suspension of disbelief is certainly required with these movies, as we have a very disparate group of mammals having banded together to form a type of herd. There’s Manny, the wooly mammoth (Ray Romano),…

Yet Another Tragedy

By |

I had a completely different post set up for today, but in light of today’s events, I felt the need to comment.  Earlier today another school shooting took place. Children as young as Kindergarten were murdered. What I do want to say first is my heart and prayers go out to all affected. Not just…

Lack Of Customer Service

By |

What a loss.   I had been contacting Qwest, then subsequently Century Link (after the corporate buy out) with regards to our internet service for a long while. Years, probably. The service has been spotty, cutting out at apparently random times.   After several service calls, technician visits, repair orders, and years of frustration, we…
