The Madonna Moth

    Hey, everyone. First off, I'd like to thank kPg for his kind comment on my review for Source Code. I went over to his blog and read several entries. I enjoyed his posts. If you want, try his blog at Life From Head to Foot. He has a nice style of writing.
    While I'm at it, I'd like to thank my friends at Rage.com for sending people to my blog. What a terrific game they have produced.
     The picture at the top is a honeysuckle. They bloom this time of year, here in the Southern U.S. They grow wild all over and smell great. There is a perfume that is sold these days that smells like this flower.
    The second picture is a moth. These are very colorful. I don't know what they are called so I'll just call them the Madonna moth. If one of them were to start dancing like the singer, I'd freak out. There were 13 of them on my back door this morning. They seem very feminine. I love the long blond hair. We have an amazing degree of diversity in insects up here. We have another moth that appears to have a Crusader's shield design on its back. I don't have a picture of it just now.
     The green retreat has finally reached the point where the return of leafage has insulated sounds. It sure gets quiet up here. I refer to this time of year as "The Green Out". You are enclosed by a wall of leaves and if you dig privacy, this is the place.
    Looks like another loser weekend for movies. Next weekend is the Thor release and I look forward to that. It looks as though I'll have to renew my Netflix membership. T.V. is a joke. Not great value in most of the programming. In my opinion, most broadcasters are destroying their own industry with greeeeeeed. Too many commercials, replays of the same thing over and over, high prices. The arrogance and disregard for consumers that cable and satellite providers have shown is a common symptom of the disease called wealth. If you get enough money you mistakenly think you can do what you want.
     My wife has a new game called Burn It All. She bought it for her I-Pad. It was a huge 99 cents on the app store. It's a puzzle game, which cools my interest, but she really likes it. She gives it an impressive 4.5 stars out of 5. Here's the recipe. You set fire to stuff, starting with ropes. You have these cute little fireballs with faces and funny voices that you drag around with your finger. You have different challenges arise so it doesn't get boring. The graphics are good. I don't like this type of game so I can't give a terrific review on it. If you are a puzzle person or a closet firebug, this is your cup of tea. More importantly, you won't go to jail for playing it.
    Well, its time to go. Check back in during the weekend and I promise not to rant so much.
    I'm CE Wills.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
