Word Monster and The Expendables

    Hey, everyone. I had a nice day, even though we just hung around the house. Carley played a game called Word Monster. In this puzzler, you have a grid of letters and drag your finger around them to make words. The catch is, you have to make a word that completes a phrase for which they have already given you a portion, like ------ and role. Maybe this fictional example would be cameo. She loves the game and returned to the app store to buy several hundred of the puzzles. You get 40 for free. She played all 40 of them today, while I was doing something constructive, like avoiding the goat. There are 5 additional packs which she bought for 99 cents each. As you might expect, I am not so crazy about it, but that is just me. I have to report that this game takes the liberty of turning on your notifications so they can send you banners on your screen. Just go to settings, notifications and turn everything off, after you download the game.
     One of my favorite games, Razor Salvation, came out with a new update today. I have yet to play it with the update, but the reload time has been reduced, I understand.
    I downloaded a free game called Combat Mission Touch. I can't say if it is good or not, as I have not played it yet, having a previous commitment with a goat. Ha, ha. I do know that you have missions to fulfill and that you drag and place soldiers and tanks in order to fulfill your mission. My thought was, hey, it's free so I'll try it.
    This evening, I watched two movies. One was Mr. Baseball, with Tom Selleck. It is a charming show, about an aging American player who gets sent to Japan to play. Didn't you like Selleck's old TV show called Magnum, P.I.? I loved Higgins, Rick and T.C.
    Later in the evening I watched the Sly Stallone flick called The Expendables. I enjoyed it. Plenty of action. It is about a group of mercenaries who are hired by The Company (CIA) to kill the men who are running an island. It is a big job, but heck, the stars include guys like Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Roarke. Jason Statham is in it and I really like him, as well. I wish I could enlist his aid in the battles on Trigger Fist. By the way, I really hated to hear about Stallone's son dying. There could be nothing tougher than to bury a child. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
    Well, it's late and I have a book to finish. Actually, I am writing Notch 8 and also the sequel to my popular teen romance called The Black Mushroom. In the latter, Breeze has been taken to live with her mother, separating her and her new-found love. Will he go after her? I certainly hope so. The original story was so short that I just sent it out for free. It bothered me to leave those kids hanging in mid-air, so to speak, so I am going to resolve their romance.
    From the author's green 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 ...
