Movie Review

    Hey, everyone. My wife and I got out of the woods for a while today. We dined out and then went to a movie. We saw a movie called The American, with George Clooney. I had read some reviews on it a few weeks ago. The reviews were negative and guess what? They were wrong. We both liked it. Both of us gave it a 4 stars out of 5. It was really good. George Clooney plays an assassin who's dissatisfied with his work. He has several people who want to kill him and he has no idea who he can trust. As an added worry he falls in love with a rather lovely prostitute who may or may not be a friend.
    There was very little music with the movie and I found this quite relaxing as it enabled me to focus more fully on the plot. It seemed like the movie intentionally turned away from the use of a formula which is used to reap the maximum dollars. I can identify with this because it is my style as well.(as a writer)
  For all you Ipad folks, I have a couple of web sites you might like. Just Another ipad Blog and ipad.net. These are not my sites, okay? I just ran across them.
    Changing subjects yet again I'd like to mention some blog nuances which you may be more aware of than I. Although I have no idea where my readers are from specifically, nor do I want to know, Google gives bloggers a stats tool which tells them stuff like which countries have the most hits on your blog. Very cool. I did not even know about this until a few nights ago. When I started looking this over I noticed viewers in China, India, Russia, Australia, all over the world, really. This surprised me a bit because I am a non-techie and I still underestimate this internet thing. At the risk of sounding like that mouse down in Orlando, it's a small world after all.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
