Where ADHD, Politics, Religion, Sexuality, Resource Based Economies, and Geekery Ooze Forth From My Digital Brainbow!
This is NOT really a chick-flick. After not reading any reviews or plot summary we expected a chick-flick and this is not quite that. It was either this or ‘Step Up 2’. I opted for this due to the renaissance setting. This movie, based in renaissance England, is steeped in lies, intrigue, lust, and plotting, […]
Continue ReadingGary Gygax, more about the creator of the Fantasy Role Playing Game (FRPG) ‘Dungeons and Dragons‘ (D&D) (owned by WotC) has passed away today. This is a sad day for gamers all around the world. I met Gary at a Gen Con that I went to for the release of 3rd Edition with the guys […]
Continue ReadingMy wife and I went to see ‘The Spiderwick Chronicles‘ last night and we really liked it. You could tell that it was a PG-13 movie – no blood or anything, but that did not detract anything for me. My wife really hates tense moments and suspense and she was hiding her face for much […]
Continue ReadingMy wife and I went to see the movie “Fools Gold” at the theater last night. We were celebrating Valentines Day early since she has to work all night today. We were pleasantly surprised by this film. We were expecting more of a romance film, but we received an adventure romance with just a splash […]
Continue ReadingWith all that I have been writing about marriage I have been thinking about my two marriages. I am currently very happily married which shows as a stark contrast to what I had the first time around, especially considering it was my first serious relationship. I am just going to write a little (or a […]
Continue ReadingHaving an over developed sense of propriety or prudishness (depending on how you want to label me), I would normally not post anything about sex, but this is a really interesting article from Forbes:Â Your Health: Is Sex Necessary?.
Continue ReadingI found this link to College Humor which has loads of videos. It is not humor for everyone. With a little taste here is a link to their Dramatic Lemur as a follow up to the Dramatic Chipmunk post I made earlier. Not all are work friendly due to language. I do not know about […]
Continue ReadingThe speaker for our Sunday service at church, The Free Congregation of Sauk County, was Mike McCabe of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign was quite enlightening. He talked about Wisconsin’s politics being historically corrupt, then moving, due to a progressive grassroots movement, to something more transparent and legit. Now we have come full circle back to […]
Continue ReadingI had previously reported on my first experience calling to FedEx and that was very positive. I am just going to update that a little bit. I called to check on something and there was naught a warm transfer to be found. =( So my basic impression of FedEx customer service will go back to […]
Continue ReadingTo put review this in a little perspective, I saw Rambo IV (review) last night and I am still caught up in my darker thoughts because of that. I had also heard a lot of great words from people that have seen ‘I am Legend’ and I have high expectations of it. Last night I […]
Continue ReadingRambo IV is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart with it’s ‘Saving Private Ryan‘ level of gore and blood bringing to the forefront the horrors and atrocities committed in the senseless and inhumane ethnic cleansing in Burma. Perhaps after this movie you will question whether humanitarian efforts there are even worth it […]
Continue Reading‘What on earth are Name Days?’ you ask. I have never heard of it before I met my wife and all of our Belarussian friends and family as it is not something that we celebrate here in the United States. According to Wikipedia’s ‘Name Day’ Article: Name Days are a tradition of attaching personal names […]
Continue ReadingWe went to see the movie ‘27 Dresses‘ last night. *sigh* =) It was a standard fare chick flick whose plot is standard for chick flicks. The actresses – Hawt! The acting was good, nothing overly inspiring but good. ‘P.S. I Love You’ was a far better movie and much more powerful and evocative. If […]

The section about magic rings has caused quite the firestorm on ENWorld. Rings: This slot has changed quite a bit. A starting character isn’t powerful enough to unleash […]
