Play The Flip Side

    Sometimes in life you get a little turned around and need a helping hand. When my wife and I went to the creek today we saw a turtle that had flipped over. I flipped him back upright and we went on our way. These guys were not nearly as large as my buddy Walter, the lonesome turtle. In the first one I could see his orange eye with the black center, here on the big screen. I doubt you guys can make it out on the blog.
     I found this picture of a turtle track that I got a few weeks ago. I just inserted it and blogger put it above the turtle pictures. It's not terribly clear.
    By the way, "play the flip side" is a term from a bygone day referring to playing records.
     For the information of my I-Pad readers, EA Games is running another huge sale this weekend. They have a bunch of their more expensive games on sale for 99 cents, including Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Hot Pursuit, Scrabble and many others. Some of them are not on sale for the HD version and you'll have to get the I-Phone version for 99 cents. It doesn't matter because they will play fine on all your IOS devices. It's a terrific opportunity to establish a stable of good games at a cheap price. My wife's favorite game is Scrabble. She bought it for 99 cents at Thanksgiving and has played it for hundreds of hours. So that is a huge bargain compared to  $100 a month for cable or something.
     I understand that the Thor movie is coming out a week early in Australia, probably because the title role is played by an Australian. The previews look great and I'll probably catch the first available showing, though I won't fly to Australia to do it. I remember the comics from my youth and I actually went out and bought a newer version of Thor the other day. I think modern comics have gone down hill a bit since my day. Perhaps it is just me that has changed.
    On the subject of movies, this weekend has a pretty severe lack of great new shows. I couldn't find one I wanted to see.
     Have a great holiday weekend!
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...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
