“Dad, I”m cold.” You can guess where this is going. I walk over, extend my hand and he takes it. As I shake his hand I say “Hi, Cold. I’m Dad.” He smiles for a second then it quickly melts into a frown. I chuckle and Xavier gets further upset. “That wasn’t very nice.” “Oh,…
I have already looked at these movies individually. The question is whether or not you have all of them. If not, do you need this? The short answer is – yes. My Little Pony has become a great franchise with this offshoot starting out as a weird idea and finding a life of its own….
I wouldn’t say The Cure are one of my favorite bands, but I do like them quite a bit. Alright, so it’s less a band these days in many ways and more of Robert Smith and some (long running) friends, but still, as the primary songwriter for the band’s career one can be forgiven to…
This year August and Déla have decided to join band. August is taking the trombone with Déla picking up the flute. Since August is in 6th grade now there’s a lot more stuff to carry back and forth to school. Here is how August travels to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Aren’t these two cute? Last Friday…
This is not an easy game. I keep getting defeated. But, that’s sort of the point. Guild Of Dungeoneering places players in charge of a guild which they expand to attract new adventurers. Those adventurers get sent out to various dungeons which the player winds up building using their deck of cards as they are…
I am not saying “No” to everything television, and there are some of the new programs I am watching, but by in large, I am skipping out on most of the new television series. Not because I am not interested, not because they are necessarily poor quality, and not because I am already watching too…
I don’t understand why people didn’t like this film. There’s a good adventure here, a moral, optimism, and essentially it just feels like the classic Disney live action films the type of which are not made much any more but we always complain about them not being made any more. Are we as a society…
Tevye is 17 months old now. He’s cute, but like pretty much every child of that age he is quite a handful. What helps me keep my sanity, which in turn helps keep him alive, is the fact he is a pretty good sleeper. He goes to bed at an early hour and stays down…
With “Adventure Time” getting regular home video releases in full season sets, one might wonder why Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network would bother to release a compilation style DVD. Fortunately there is a good reason this time. This DVD collects a number of episodes dealing with the Enchiridion, the Book Of Heroes, a volume acting as a…
I became aware of Heart in 1983 through local television. During the 1983/84 television season local station KING channel 5 produced and aired “Rock Entertainment Videos” or REV, which was hosted, nominally, by John Keister. While many know Keister from his stint as the host of “Almost Live” (another program produced by KING) this is…
