My Gold I-Phone 5S and Spelunking With Iron Man

   Hey, everyone in the Ethernet, and all the ships at sea. My buddy, Iron Man, needed my help today. It seems that there is a new update to Iron Man 3 and I decided to get it. The main reason is because the update had a new level or map in it. The new level is called Woodlands and I have included a screen shot above. The Metallic Avenger and I are flying over open fields, blistering the sky as we dodge silos and wind turbines. You also fly through forests. At one point we flew through the tunnel in a giant Sequoya or redwood, whatever.
    But the most fun was when we went spelunking. It started like this. My man, Tony, came to me and proposed that we hang together for the day. "Cool", I said, "but I once was in a cave with a friend and our flashlight went out. It was really scary and if we are going to do this, you're going to have to bribe me."
    "Bribe?" He asked indignantly. "With what?"
"You're the head of Stark Industries, you tell me." He thought for a minute.
"How about the new I-Phone 5S?"
"The gold colored one?" I asked eagerly. He laughed.
"Hey, not even I can get one of those. I'm rich, but I'm not omnipotent."
"Go on Ebay."
    He reluctantly agreed, because we're tight. So, yeah, we are tearing up the sky and flew under the big arm of a Caterpillar and blasted through all these enemies which I have described in a previous review. Sure, I was scared when we zoomed through the cave, dodging the stalactites and stalagmites. But I manned up because I wanted the new phone.
     By the way, before I forget, the other levels have a few changes also. You see some different things than before. For instance, there are huge cargo planes that come roaring overhead while you are zooming down the airstrip in Santa Monica. Really impressive. Then you take a side trip down the beach and dodge beach-related stuff. It was a nice, refreshing change after all the sameness of doing that level hundreds of times before.
    There are a few ads that have appeared, unfortunately, but, there are tournaments to play if you have a connection. I wish that they would be a bit more liberal with in-game cash and armors.
     If you want to play when you're not on-line just tap friends and then play.
    So, I know you're curious, did I get the rare breed, almost extinct, called Gold I-Phone 5s? Well, Tony explained it like this.
"Here's the deal, CE,... I don't exist. This guy named Stan Lee dreamed me up. Only a geek like you would ask me for anything. I am not even your imaginary friend. And, if I did exist, who do you think I am? Steve Jobs? Tim Cook? Wait a few months and get the darn phone."
    I was a bit crushed, but I decided to just get a new armor instead. Then I saw that I would have to grind a while to get the in-game cash necessary. I think I'll intentionally fly Iron Man into a giant redwood, and keep doing it until he comes across with my phone.
     From this creepy cave in the woods, this is CE Wills.
P.S. Coincidentally, Iron Man 3, the movie, just came out on DVD. Which reminds me...didn't that kid in Tennessee make Tony give him a bunch of cool stuff in exchange for his help? To me that sets a precedent and I expect the phone Muy Pronto.

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 ...

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...

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...
