Zombie Shirts, Recliners and Mercenary Ops

    Hey, everyone. With great power comes great responsibility. Uncle Ben says that all the time. As the foremost zombie killer in the South, I have to keep the zombie hordes at bay. Someone gave me a shirt for Christmas, in recognition of my skills. (Shown above.) I also received an I-Tunes gift card, so I combined the two. I put on my new shirt and bought some zombie games and went on a campaign to remove the zombie menace from a creepy mansion. With my stash of I-Tunes cash, I splurged on new weaponry and commenced harsh retribution on the undead. I am glad my new shirt is black because these flowers from outer space were spitting green slime at me. They also were dropping huge spiders that blew apart when I blasted them. A messy job.
     Luckily, earlier in the day, we had taken down the Christmas tree and put my recliner back in it's hole. Exhausted by zombie battling, I felt obligated to recline and take a nap, ensuring that the chair still worked properly.
    In other news, I bought an app that is really a book, or a book that is sold as an app. I am speaking of the Dr. Seuss books that are on sale for 99 cents. As you know, Dr. Seuss books are cool as a moose. I bought Green Eggs and Ham. I streamed it to my 60 inch TV via Apple TV. There is a choice in the app where you can have the book read to you or you can read it yourself. I let it do the page movement and reading on the TV and really enjoyed it. Each word lights up as it is read so that a youngster can learn to read. If you tap the I-Pad, it will tell you what that object is. If you tap the boy(?), it will tell you that he is "Sam I Am", for instance. You will quickly learn that you can eat the aforementioned eggs with a fox, or you can eat them in a box.
      Since we rarely have children around the place, it is farfetched to say that I am buying these books for someone else. So, hey, I'll just admit that I am buying them for exploring the tech abilities of my I-Pad. Right. They are a great bargain. Remember, they are in the app store, not I-Books. I guess you could get the regular book from I-Books...
    Back to this Mercenary Ops game I mentioned. I wish it had a few more save points. One place I was stuck for a while. I had to accumulate 13 med packs and 'heal myself' 13 times to get through that chapter. It was rough in that creepy cellar! Once I was getting slashed and there was nothing left alive in front of me. I looked at my feet and a zombie had crawled up to me and was chomping on my lower extremities. I had to admire his grit, if not his manners. I quickly rendered the coup de grace to his skanky behindus.
      Well, I knew that you would be curious what I had done with my Christmas day, so now you know. I may post again, later in the day, so check back if you get bored.
     From the deep south, on a foggy, dripping, cold day, this is CE Wills.

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...

Hard Reset

    Hey, everyone. Yesterday I had an odd day. I had I-Pad trouble with my I-Pad Air. Let me tell you about it. I'll have to give you the "Reader's Digest Version". Ha, ha. This is an old saying, common during the dark ages. At that time Reader's Digest put abbreviated novels out for consumption by those who didn't really have a lot of time. They were quite good, usually.      So, a weird thing was going on with my Padster. To wit, I would buy a game and it would not appear on my I-Pad. The store would indicate that the game had downloaded but alas, there was no icon. Distressing. How could I possibly save Duke Nukem in The Manhattan Project ?      I bought other games, like Alpha 9, and they didn't appear either. I just chilled out for a while and meditated on the problem, hoping it would go away or a flash of genius might overtake me. I plugged the Padster into my PC and added some of my old games. They didn't appear either...

Games, Vladimir Putin and Moths

Hey, everyone. I have dubbed this moth the Butterscotch Moth . He is a big guy and looks like he has furry legs and tufts of hair growing from his back. Like a 50 year old plumber in a strap tee shirt.Da Vinci himself couldn't have painted his wings so beautifully. I just read an interesting article from Sports Illustrated.com by Al Michaels, the terrific sportscaster. He was filling in for Peter King while Peter is on vacation. First of all I was very impressed by how well Al wrote. I mean, this guy could have had a great career as a writer, a columnist or a blogger. Moreover, it would be nice to just sit down and chat with this guy. It was a lengthy piece and Al touched on a number of subjects with bluntness, knowledge and a toughness that does not condone B.S. 1. The NFL lockout 2. America's infatuation with football. 3. The Oakland Raiders. 4. His admiration for John Madden. 5.Restaurants. 6. Hotels. 7. Stadium Deals and NFL football in Los Angeles. 8. Chris Coll...
