Guns Are Fun (Virtually Speaking, Of Course)

So we went out to Jantzen Beach Center for the first time last night. While heading over to Target to meet Marco and get cash to purchase carousel tokens for the kids, we stopped at a Cingular kiosk to look at all the phones that are better than ours. As we were turning away, that’s when I […]

Underworld: Evolution

…it was what many film critics (myself incluced) will, in lavish beat-around-the-bush fashion, refer to as okay.

The New World

The New World is at its heart a love story, and while it may not necessarily present its story with a great deal of accuracy, it sells itself well as an epic romance.

Touching the Void

I would easily catalog Touching the Void amongst my Top 10 films. I don’t know that I’ve seen a movie like it. Featuring some truly beautiful cinematography, the dramatic recreation of the ill-fated climb perfectly captures the harrowing events related in the voice-over narration provided by Simon Yates and Joe Simpson.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox360) Preview

The Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter booth was the highlight of my first trip to E3. Red Storm’s Ghost Recon series on the Xbox marked my first real foray into online gaming. As dorky as it might sound, it also introduced me to some of the best friends a guy can have. In fact, it introduced me […]

Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox360)

Offering a pick-up-and-play experience, PGR3 manages to find a stable enough balance to engage the more casual racer fan while offering more than enough depth and challenge to satiate the more hardcore fans.

It’s Potty Time!

I’ll be frank in telling you that our first potty training experience was rife with challenges. Byron was just not down with the program initially, and it took a lot of patience and resolve on our part, as well as his, to achieve a diaper-free state. Based on this experience, we wholly anticipated such challenges […]

Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox360)

There were a lot of things I wanted PDZ to be. I wanted it to be the Xbox 360’s Halo. I wanted it to be the game that got the guys at Crescendo back online and back to competitive gaming. I wanted it to really show me what next-generation gaming was all about. Unfortunately, it hasn’t met the challenge on any of these fronts.

Poor Girl :(

Yesterday was awful. After coming in far earlier than any reasonable human being should be stirring, Laura messaged me, saying that Brynn was in a poor state. Apparently, she had woken up, tossing and turning, screaming for Mommy and Daddy. She just could not be soothed. She kept pointing in her mouth, and when she’d […]

Poem ~ Overcast

shroud of grey canvas,
hung in drab slouch,
its apathy repercussed
by gathering, seldom-still pools;
and the dull reflections
of head-lamps and tail-lights
are poor substitutes
for flowers and sunshine
