Dogs, The Cat Lady And Songify

      This picture was taken in Kansas, back during the 1980's. The star is our pooch, a really good dog. This was my son's dog, when he was just a little guy. The picture was taken out on a farm where we lived. Looking back, it was certainly a beautiful day to be alive and go for a walk. We often walked out the country road for miles and of course the dog had to go, which was cool. She would go a little distance and look back like this to make sure we were coming. The dog pictured lived with us for many years. My son was grown and gone, with kids of his own, when I came outside one morning and found the pooch dead and stiff. It was a tough day for me, I can tell you that.
     I've only had one dog of my own. He was a long-haired bird dog. I had him when I was a kid and another kid shot and killed him just for sheer meanness. Not being very civilized at the time, I gave the other kid a good beating. This did not bring my dog back but it felt good.
    My wife and I have never been much for pets. I don't like animals in the house and neither does she. I'm really odd about things too. When that kid shot my dog, I haven't wanted another pet since. It must be some odd quirk in my make-up. I just want the one issue of everything, then I'm done. I'm surprised that I even trade cars. Ha, Ha.
    I suppose that you folks have seen the cool video going around the web that features an e-harmony dating intro. This lady is telling people about liking cats. Somebody used an app called Songify to put her talk to music and added in some cats that appear to be playing musical instruments and dancing. It is one of the best clips I have seen. If you search for it on you tube, be sure that you see the one that is set to music. I think if you search "I like cats, music video" you'll see it. There have been several hundred thousand views of it. By the way, I immediately went to the app store and downloaded the free app called Songify, which I mentioned. You just record yourself, talking or singing, and the app sets that to music. You will sound surprisingly good, believe me. I think you sound a bit better if you sing, but that's only my opinion. I sang a piece called My Life Is A Country Song, for the very good reason that I had got up humming the tune that morning. Naturally, I changed the words to something silly and off-color for the recording. When it was put to rap music, which I loathe, I could not refrain from laughing. No, you will never, ever, get to hear it. I do, however, recommend the app.
    You can write it on my stone, My life is a country song. From the dogless retreat, I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

Book Review: Box

Hey, everyone. I just finished the latest novel by John Locke. It is titled Box . It is the story of a world renowned surgeon named, coincidentally, Gideon Box. Dr. Box is brilliant in his chosen field of endeavor but less skilled in anything that involves social interaction. He can't get along with people and is so bad at relationships that his flings at 'romance' normally involve strippers, lap dances and on-line dating services. After a grueling operation, Box goes on a bender that involves going to visit three women in rural Kentucky that he 'met' on line. I would like to say that these women run the gamut between harmless and dangerous but that would be a misrepresentation. They are all dangerous. One of them has lied about all her particulars. Worse than that, she has pet seahorses and makes a particular powder that can be used as a weapon. The powder contains ground glass, among other things. Without giving ...
