BaD 17: Grab Bag Week: One Of My Favorite Albums


Posted on 02/25/2014 at 01:37 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Curse you, Chris! Curse you! I had just managed to exorcise "I Can't Go For That" (heard in thegroery store five days ago) from my brain with mass doses of Aimee Mann and now you've brought it back! Going to have to go find The Dropkick Murphies this time, I'm afraid.

You've just never been properly introduced to old Will. I hated Shakespeare with a passion until I had a decent teacher who told us what was going on in the plays. They're full of sexual innuendo, wonderful rude Elizabethan words, murder, and other hijinks. That said, I am not a fan of his comedies. His tragedies and histories are wonderful. King Lear and Henry V are my two favorites, but Othello and Hamlet are great, too. Romeo and Juliet and MacBeth, not so much. The other issue with Shakespeare is that they were never meant to be read by anyone other than the actors playing the parts. They're meant to be watched. If you can find the Masterpiece Theater version of King Lear with Sir Laurence Olivier, I highly recommend it. Also, Kenneth Brannagh's Henry V, which may well be one of my all-time top ten movies. Brannagh did a really good job with Much Ado About Nothing, as well, and like I said, I'm not usually a fan of the comedies.

Tuesday Feb. 25th - 3 Days Remain. Kitties and Pandas and PSN, oh my!

Other than forgetting to cancel after my free month of PSN and automatically getting charged for another three, I am very careful about my purchases. I also make sure that I have to enter my password every time I purchase something, and believe it or not, that has helped with my impulse spending incredibly.

I have a couple of rare shots like that from my previous two cats. The younger, much larger cat was first, and she had designs on remaining an only kitty. When we added the sweet, tiny old lady cat that I inherited after the death of a relative, the younger cat proceeded to kick the shit out of the older, much smaller cat every chance she got. I have two photos where Caitlin was actually beng nice to Gogo and they were snuggling. I think it must have been during a sub-zero stretch of weather, because it only happened once or twice.

I rarely buy a game based on professional reviews, it's usually more word of mouth. My biggest criteria for a game is: "is it fun?" and "are the controls going to make me go insane?" Those two things are generally not at the top of the list for big reviewers to discuss. Controls may get a mention, but usually only if they are impossibly broken.

Mom actually bought for her cat Ziggy, who is semi-feral and won't go in the house. It had a heated bed in it. He wouldn't use the house, so Mom rigged up a little shelter for him that he would use and gave Kaley the house.

He just looked to pathetic and put-upon. As for the pets, they are never boring, but it is like having perpetual toddlers in the house...

I tried the lone blogger bit, but I missed having a community.

She's beautiful, Peter. But I'm partial to torties anyway, my childhood cat was a tortie.

South Park Stick of Truth had a lot more oversight by Trey Parker and Matt Stone than any of the other South Park games. From what I've read, it should be a pretty good game.

And this is why I play console games. I don't have the patience or desire to futz around with settings and fixes and patches. i just want to stick a game in the drive and "hey, Presto!" there it is. My friend Michael is the opposite, he likes trouble shooting and mods and all that other stuff that I hate.
