The Midnight Snack Gone Awry

    Hey, everyone. As a serious gamer, I maintain a strict training regimen, waiting for the Olympic Games to adopt contests for Shadowgun. Therefore, I only eat low calorie stuff. Tonight I had a midnight snack that you might find interesting. I wanted some champagne. I filled a large glass with the bubbly. Then I saw fresh strawberries. I cut several of them up and piled a bunch of whipped cream on them. So far, so good.
    As everyone knows, a snack plate must have widely divergent flavors to be effective, so I got a boiled egg and put mustard on it. Then I reasoned that some cheddar cheese would go well with the egg. Of course, saltine crackers are a must with the egg and cheese. I noticed some of those miniature candies in the basket. Hmmmmm... I decided to have a Mounds (love coconut with champagne) and a Reeses peanut butter cup. Lest I be accused of being smart, I added a Hershey's with toffee and almonds.
     As I was walking to my recliner, I stopped by the pantry and noticed some new chips called Lay's BLT flavored chips. They actually have this dust on them which simulates a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. When I poured a modest quantity of them on my plate, I decided that they deserved some french onion dip.
    Finally, I was ready for my snack. I started to wake my wife and show her my work of art, but reason prevailed and I began to eat. It was sooooo good. Then I thought, "I must share this secret recipe with my friends on the blog, as they may be hungry for something exotic".
     When you combine all this with the Philly Steak sandwich and hot wings I had for lunch, well, my gas should be exquisite tomorrow. Good night all, from the land of the midnight sun snack.

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...
