LEGO City Undercover is my 10 year old’s favorite LEGO video game. Why? Because it’s got great gameplay and a solid story with good characters. Yes, LEGO Batman 2 and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes are great (it was a tough choice for him to decide, let me tell you) but it’s that original story that…
Another Barbie movie has made its way into our house and my daughter was thrilled. Myself? Not as much. Why? Because these movies are pretty hit and miss with regards to quality of message. The best of the bunch was A Mermaid Tale which showcased a strong personality. The worst (subjectively) was Princess Charm School…
Last one – and then tomorrow I’m back on track with a “regular” selection of pictures. Last week was “special friends” day at the kids’ school – at least for the pre-school and kindergarten and first grade. The higher grades had it earlier in the year. I sort of understand why they don’t have it…
Remember a few weeks ago when August went on a hike with his friend? The following weekend his troop went on a hike – and his friend came along as well. Instead of snow there was rain. And plenty of it. We were ready for it. At the halfway mark (which…
At times Shout Factory releases a DVD of “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” with a theme – and for this release it is the pony Rainbow Dash. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic – A Dash Of Awesome collects 5 episodes centering on this one pegasus pony. I’ve gone into how positive a show…
Alright – so it’s been a crazy month. Here’s part of what I haven’t been able to spend the time to work on. The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day Déla participated with her dance studio in the St/ Patrick’s Day parade. Here she is lined up and waiting to go. Of course it wasn’t…
I love the movie Repo Man. The soundtrack is excellent as well. This is one of those films where the music is such an integral part of the film both are necessary. Sure, you can listen to the soundtrack on its own and enjoy it, but not nearly as much if you don’t have the…
And this is where I fail as a person. I’m a big proponent of social services. No, not indiscriminately handing out whatever to whomever, but there are reasons people are having a hard time and need help. If we don’t help those less fortunate than we are what does that make us? Only there are…
March 17. St. Patrick’s Day. When I started these Music Monday posts I didn’t realize St. Patrick’s Day would fall on a Monday. Then I started thinking about what I would do to commemorate the event. At first I was going to post a bunch of Pogues videos. Then I thought that was cliche and…
This week was the last for this session of gymnastics. Xavier and Déla will continue to go, at the same time even. It’s just this was the last session for this round and as such the studio gives out ribbons or whatever. This time it was medals. There was a (very) small ceremony where the…
