Time Traveller's Wife
So I saw this disappointing movie on the weekend and I'm kinda wishing it was something more. I haven't read the book but let's assume it is better. My initial assumption is that the story is told entirely from the point of view of the Wife and that the story takes a linear timeline. I'm not sure this is true but it I what should have happened in ( Read more... ) -
Betrayals and Bethrothals
A couple of weekends ago I played in one of the most enjoyable one off LARPs I have played in. It was based loosely on the works of Jane Austin and Susanna Clarke among others. I even think there was a Full Metal Alchemist reference in there, or at the very least they were referencing the same things.
I was most definitely playing something a bit ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Moon Fever
We pressed on despite the burning through my skin from the bite. It wouldn't seem to heal even with the touch of Snowfoot's spirit companion. She did what she could for Enna but I just shrugged into my new armour. Oddly the weight gave me more strength. It was later when we rested and the fever dreams came that everything we had experienced both ( Read more... ) -
NFLog: Week 9 Picks
I finally went over .500 on my picks last week, but not by much. However both my fantasy teams lost. My Keeper league lost a heartbreaker as my opponent scored something I would usually beat. Instead Rodgers only put up 6 points instead of his 20+. All I needed was 20pts from him to win the game. Here is hoping for a better result this week. I'm ( Read more... ) -
NFLog: Week 8 Picks
Never in the history of the Denver Broncos had they given up 59 points at home. Happened last week to the Raiders after 2 turnovers on their first two plays. So within minutes the Raiders were up 21-0. Shame the Broncos didn't score 60 ( Read more... ) -
NFLog: Week 7 Picks
The big news in football this week has been to do with big hits and ways to limit them to protect the players. The debate rages of course with most former players believing that you can't change the game of football and that this is what the fans want. Rodney Harrison (a former hard hitter) offered another position. He thinks that players should be ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: Into the Cold
The chill wind blew across us as I cracked open the door. Veralis had warned us of the cold ones here but she said the prize would be worth it. I tried to tell her that if she had seen weapons of great power in this room then chances are someone had already found them and taken them. Still it seemed the opportunity was too much to pass up ( Read more... ) -
NFLog: Week 6 Picks
Wow, time seems to fly during the NFL season. It won't be long before we are into the 2nd half of the season and the games will really start to matter. I mean some games matter now like the 1-3 Vikings against the 1-3 Cowboys. As the Chargers have proved the last few seasons starting 2-3 does not mean you won't make the playoffs, but starting 1-4 ( Read more... ) -
Vondal's Vandals: The Lightning Trap
Enna's blade slide through the headless corpses chest from behind, narrowly missing the head of Veralis stuck in there. The corpse disintegrated into rags and nothing and Enna deftly caught the head before it hit the ground. Even that didn't silence her. Our allies were battered, bleeding all over the ground, lightning from the obelisks still ( Read more... ) -
NFLog: Week 5 picks
Big NewsSo it's no longer breaking news but the Patriots traded Randy Moss back to the Vikings (his original team) for a 3rd round pick next year. This id definitely cheap for Moss who adds a vertical dimension to the Pats passing game that lets them do everything else they do. Without that threat I'm not sure they will be as effective an offense ( Read more... )
