Fall, Y'all

    Hey, everyone. As Sunday night becomes Monday I reflect back on the weekend. It has been okay. I watched a little football, played a few games on the Padster and hung around with my wife. We watched some movies. I like old westerns and tonight I watched part of an old Randolf Scott offering called The Nevadan. I was surprised because it wasn't that good. Usually I really enjoy all of Mr. Scott's films. It was in color, which is odd for his flicks. I gave up on it about the half-way point.
     Carley has played a bunch of a game called Word Jewels 2. She played 101 levels of this game. Can you believe it? It has a board with letters arranged in a honeycomb. the red colored letters can be strung into words, disposing of the letters. You only have a certain number of moves until you lose. She enjoys it so much that she only mumbles occasionally, which means it's a 5 star game. It is either free or 99 cents, I forget.
    What did I play tonight? I went back and drug out a golden oldie called Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. It is still one of the top five games on I-Pad, in my humble opinion. Tracking the most dangerous game through swamps and savannahs, hoping they don't catch your scent is pretty cool. You can even hunt at night. I have already done a review of the game, back in the day, and have played it all the way through. I even killed the massive T-Rex by shooting him in the eye. The velociraptors are bad to the bone, also.
    I played some more of The Dark Knight Rises tonight. That's the Batman game. Tonight I was planting explosives on Bane's vehicles and beating the crud out of his men. It was rainy and cold in Gotham again tonight. Surprise! (Not) With Bruce Wayne's money, I'd be in Jamaica tonight. Whatever.
      I also played the excellent freemium game called Blood and Glory: Legends. I really wish that they had just charged $5 for a complete game. But noooooooooooo. It is huge fun, though, and I think you'd like it.
     Friday, I bought Stupid Zombies 2. This is a lot of fun for 99 cents. You have to ricochet bullets off walls in such a way as to kill undead type persons. It is totally worth a dollar.
    Doubtless you think I must live a boring life, if you follow the blog very much. Well, yeah...
     Winter is lurking, I guess. The leaves are just passing their peak color, I think. We cruised in the mountains a bit yesterday and took about 50 photos. Carley wanted to try out her new I-Phone 4S for the panoramic shots. It was bizarre what happened. It cut some cars in half and just showed parts of them. I'll see if it will publish at the end of the blog.
     Hope you guys and girls have a nice week.
I'm CE Wills.

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...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
