What? The food I ate when I was traveling? Not very exciting, I usually went to the grocery store and bought whatever I could afford because it was cheaper than eating out and this way I could stay longer. I ate a lot of bread, cheese, muesli, milk, canned soup, and digestive biscuits. The few times I ate out, I went to a Greek restaurant in Paris and had moussaka, I ate at a little restaurant in Chartre that was in the home of an elderly couple and got the most amazing three course meal for cheap (40 Francs, no idea what that translate to in dollars, but it was dirt cheap) - crudites (I tried 'em and didn't like 'em), roast beef with gravy and mushrooms and fried potatoes on the side, and brie, fruit, and crackers for dessert. Their dog slept under our table while we ate, and there was a bird in a cage behind us that whistled and chirped the whole time. The couple who owned the place didn't speak any English, and we didn't speak any French, but we managed to understand each other.

I stole the idea from Gabe, one of the two originators of BaD, so help yourself.

I needed a year off after high school, and it was my step-dad who suggested that I take the time and do something I wanted before I got bogged down by adult life. We'd lived in Norway for a few years, my step-dad is German and we'd visited his family in Germany a few times while we lived in Norway, and I'd always wanted to see more and travel by train. So I got a new passport, a two month Eurail Youth Pass, a one year IYHA (International Youth Hostel Association) membership, a copy of Let's Go! Europe and a copy of Rick Steve's Europe Through the Back Door, a really good back pack, and really cheap airline tickets and off I went.

I shoveled. A lot. And then I shoveled some more. And went out for a cheese steak with Jason during his lunch break. And the temperature here is currently 8 degrees here and falling rapidly, so no whining about the cold in Texas or I will mail you an envelope full of glitter.

Oh, a Clash reference! And that's a common issue when playing Japanese RPGs. You think you're at the end, and then...you aren't!

I really like the Sackett series. The first three are kind of meh, I can't remember if I read the next two or not, but the series really gets good starting with The Daybreakers. I also like the Kilkenny trilogy - The Rider of Lost Creek, The Mountain Valley War, and Kilkenny. He also wrote Hondo, another favorite. You can usually find them for cheap in used bookstores.

One of co-workers at the park caught someone in the act of trying to drive off after having backed into someone else's car and made them call the local PD themselves.

But I really enjoy The Weekender!

What else is a little comic book nerd going to make in mandatory shop class? lol. That box has kept those comics safe for 35 years. And I made it wide enough to accomodate two stacks side by side. I'll take a pic of it once I've brought the last of my things back north from my grandmother's garage.

It sounded good up until the mustard and pickles/relish. And now I want a grilled cheese sandwich with canadian bacon, lol.

I think it would have to be Legendary. I only played two levels, and that was more time than I should have given it. It was all bad - game play, story, graphics, you name it, it was bad.
