My 4th Thanksgiving is coming today (when I wake up), and I still don't get it. Why do people want to go to so much effort to cook so much food twice in a month? It's kinda like having two Christmas', except this day is loaded with Football, and no gift-giving. Everyone knows I've never been into the whole Christmas thing, so one can easily ( Read more... )

American television is a strange thing, and it's no wonder channels are flooded with pilots when I am not sure myself why some series succeed where others fail. There have been so many shows 'trailed' and only so many have kept a timeslot, while others disappear without warning. You think that maybe they will be back for the next season, but ( Read more... )

It took me watching way too much Reality TV to have this as a train of thought, the show being Rockstar : Supernova. Don't get me wrong, I think the band will suck because the guys in it are stuck a couple of decades back (exception goes to Tommy Lee), but most of the vocalists were better this time than they were for the Rockstar : Inxs series.

Well actually, we got here Saturday night. The journey wasn't too bad. We went via I-15, then US-93, then onto I-80 (plus some others, but they were insignificant). The first day we drove through Montana and Idaho. The plan was to make it to Twin Falls before sunset, which we did. We decided to drive on. The next stretch is 100 miles of ( Read more... )

Nope, we haven't left yet, but this could be the last entry I make before we leave this Friday. We're busily packing things away, the only difficulty is making sure enough stuff is left behind to make this house live-able. You see, we're keeping this house because Patrick has to work up here one week a month (two weeks a month for the next couple ( Read more... )

I finally completed Final Fantasy X. I think I had started it three times in the past, but this fourth time I finally played it from start to end and finished it. It wasn't too bad, but the beginning was definitely the worst part of the game. If it takes an hour to get into the game, past the long movie sequences and past some of the small ( Read more... )

Flying to Australia isn't so bad. I think you only lose five or six hours, assuming you're adjusted to the Pacific coast before departing, and are revitalised by time you land in either Melbourne or Sydney. If you're smart you depart by night, so you get your natural sleep-time, and sneak in a couple of hours when they're playing one of the six ( Read more... )

Australia, here I come! Well, via San Francisco first :)

Welcome to Denver ( Read more... )
