Mushrooms That Stink and Games That Don't

   
Hey, everyone. It has been a long, tough week. I worked late a couple of nights and my fun to work ratio seemed out of kilter. Today I did some work at home, but I made it a point to take a nap. My mind feels refreshed. It is amazing how a lack of sleep effects bodily functions.
     Today I faced an odd thing. I went to the garage and it smelled bad down there. I mean, if I had passed gas it would have been an upgrade. I was concerned that there might be a dead mouse but upon searching the area, I discovered the smell was coming from my mower.???
   I mowed the yard yesterday and ran over several large mushrooms. I noticed that on their underneath side there was green mold. The chopped mushrooms clung to my tires and it was really stinking. I took the mower outside and washed the tires.
     Speaking of tires,Asphalt 8: Airborne came out this week. I have played it a little and it is fun. It is the newest racing game for I-Pad. It is only uno dinero, a great deal. Here's some of the things I like about it.

1) I got to drive through a huge pipe. Always wanted to do that! You can steer so that you are half-way up the side of the thing and pass other drivers. Coolness.
2) Once, when I exited from the above-mentioned pipe, I zoomed past an eagle who happened to be soaring by. Isn't it great to commune with nature from your recliner?
3) While racing in Iceland I drove onto an area of road in which my vehicle was exposed to a blast of wind and snow. Took me by surprise and it was a nice detail to add.
4) While racing in Tokyo, I came in last, just to see if I could. Ha, ha. Anyway, a thing pops up on the screen saying that I achieved the nice guy award, for finishing last. Funny. I must say that I super-miss the nice female voice that coached me through on Asphalt 6. I still keep that game on my Padster even though it is a couple of versions old.
     You need to have 30 stars to open the next packet of races. I currently have 29 but I could pay to open the next bunch .
     Speaking of the fast life: I bought a cool game for 99 centabos. It is called Shine Runner. Here's the recipe: You operate one of those airboats, like they use in the Everglades. Always wanted one of those. You deliver moonshine to these bars in the swamps. You crash through docks, glide over short stretches of land, get chased by cops in boats and run over alligators. It is a hoot.
   In other gaming news, I recently finished The Dark Knight Rises. Once I started using tons of Batarangs, it went well and I had a load of fun.

     Finally, I re-downloaded a game called d-capitatrix HD. I have mentioned it before but it bears repeating. Whoever served as the model for these robots' movements has to be awesome. It is probably the same person's voice from Asphalt 6 which I mentioned above. Ha, ha. In the game you open worm holes in rooms that allows you to re-unite a robot head with its body. A different slant on puzzle games.

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...

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...
