A truly impressive blitz of [...]

I am entirely in love with and immensely proud of my kids, but each in their own way have been squaring my circle when it comes to my hobbies. Liam is on the verge of walking, so his added mobility and attraction to the buttons and cables of the ‘Siddy and Triple makes video gaming [...]

Okay. With some confidence I can finally say that I’m no longer sick. I don’t know if anyone else gets this, but I’m always left with a little more energy and enthusiasm in the aftermath of illness. To whit, the future seems very bright indeed:
Normally I would pillory EA for something like [...]

So, apparently there’s been very little outcry about GTA IV since it was released. This of course, is unacceptable, since there MUST. BE. OUTRAGE. about the game. And so, UK’s the Sun launches this story:

I’ve finished GTA IV, as I’ve mentioned. I’ve played through the story level of LEGO Indiana Jones; I’m still working through the Free Play, but It hasn’t really grabbed me. Its fun, but after the intensity of GTA…LEGO Indy is not really holding my attention.

Remember when I said that I had thrown off the shackles of the flu that had consigned me to the W.C. for 24 hours? Well, make that an additional 48. Hubris brought me so low the next day that I didn’t even want to get out of bed except to move from bed [...]

Surprising no one, Jack Thompson proved to the world that he was batshit crazy at his disbarment hearing today. Not only did he walk out of his hearing, he told the judge that she didn’t have the authority to hear the case.

Today’s post title comes from the mouth of my darling daughter, Abigail. Over the weekend, she got to watch Ghostbusters for the first time, and for hours afterwards was saying the following:
And then the doggy came out of the door *SMASH* and looked at you like you was food; imma EAT you!
