Beautiful Stupid Cool
It’s been out for a while now, but I only just got around to finally watching it–with English subtitles–yesterday, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
Almost seems to be a running theme what with Silent Hill having just been viewed a few days ago and now I’ve got a video game movie that’s even [...]
The New Nintendo Console
Since I’m not the only one aghast at what Nintendo has done for their new console–for those of you not interested in the developments within the gaming industry, Nintendo has announced the name of their upcoming new console is “Wii” pronounced “We” is in “We are going to the movies,” or “That [...]
The Review Post
First of all, my Silent Hill review is already up at GameAxis and available for viewing here.
And second of all, much to my surprise, I ended up finishing Tomb Raider: Legend last night, and so my thoughts on the game are ready to fly.
As a game, TRL is very solid and competently [...]
Some Random Facts
I have now watched War of the Worlds, March of the Penguins and Domino, in that order. Of them all, it was the Penguins that was actually the coolest.

Somehow, while discussing that certain monthly event that only women experience that men will never be privy to, it suddenly occurred [...]
My Headfirst Crash Into The Generation Gap
I just realized that this current generation of people in their 20s-30s will probably be the last ones to say that they spent their youth without the ability to carry their entire music collection, that is, every single damn song they ever wanted upon their person in something that [...]
I’m Having A Monition
This was brought on by the observation that a premonition is the experience of predicting or seeing a future event before it has happened, which kind of let to the logical question, “If there’s a PRE-monition, then can there be just plain old monitions?”
I think the answer to this is, yes, yes [...]
The Mother In Law’s Birthday
In which Eurasian food was consumed, apple strudels were eaten, and there were long walks in the hot afternoon sun.
Other than that, the only other things I plan on doing today are getting more writing done in various things, including this blog, the other blog, the children’s novel and the comic [...]
