Spiderman and Dating Siri

    Hey, everyone. I'm glad I didn't pay $6.99 for The Amazing Spiderman. I have played it for a while today and I don't like it much. I find myself playing the same challenge over and over and finding it hard to move on. I wander around and don't make progress. There are in-apps galore but they are a bit pricey, especially for those early adopters who paid full price. So, I see the future of this game as being deleted from my I-Pad. Whatever. I didn't invest much cash in it, so I have no hard feelings. The question is: How did it get all those great reviews?
    It's cloudy and cool today. The highest temperature I've seen is 60 degrees. It is overcast and breezy, as well. I sat on the porch and listened to music for a bit. My wife is at work and I am bored. I did play the game called The Last Driver. I had downloaded an update because they have inserted giant robots into the game. I do wish they'd put in some save points so I could finally see the rest of the maps. Seeing the same old stretch of road is wearing on my mind. As my British, and Aussie, friends would say, "It's a bloody drag."
    Spiderman is not in the same league with the Batman game I bought the other day. Is it worth a dollar? Yeah. But it could have been so much better.
    Hey, what the heck happened to that cool western game that was supposed to come out? The one where you walk in a saloon and the vampires attack you? I'm not talking about the Gameloft effort called Sixguns. If the developers are reading this; hey, guys. Put the dang thing out and then work through the bugs. We'll help you out by telling you how messed up it is. Ha, ha.
     Developing video games has to be like delivering mail. Trying to please 500 families is tough. Can you imagine trying to please millions of gamers? Now I guess I'll have to look up the name of that western game. It used the unreal engine and really looked great...
    Hey, I bought one of the resident evil games the other day. They put them on sale for a paltry 99 cents. I bought the one called Resident Evil 4: Platinum. The graphics aren't great on my I-Pad 3 but the game is straightforward, at least. Go to village. See zombies. Insert lead bullets into zombies. Repeat. I am really tired of this chainsaw-wielding zombono making me the guest of honor at a slice and dice party. I know it is the Halloween season, but heck...
    I like how the developers made this game where you can select a beginner's level of difficulty. Even that is tough for me. Still, for 99 cents I can't, but will, complain. Ha, ha.
     Right now I am thinking of asking Siri how to progress in the Spiderman game. I just did and she said, "Would you like me to search the web for that?" So, I wound up on you-tube, watching a video of Spiderman by Jojopet. I guess I'll keep the game for a while.
    I just asked Siri if she ever dated Spiderman. She said, "I have found six movies named Spiderman."
    So, I asked Siri if gamers are crazy people. She answered, "This might answer your question." Then she gave me a list of  stuff about a movie called The Gamers and Crazy People.
    I just asked Siri if she dated anyone. Her reply? "It's Saturday, October 6th, 2012."
    I am out of here on that note.
   I'm CE Wills.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

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...
