While I’ve been working the past week or so, I’ve wanted some background noise so I loaded Netflix and began watching the 5th season of Mad Men, which I hadn’t started, yet. I forgot how much I truly hate Don Draper. I feel … contempt. I loathe – that’s a rare sentiment for me but accurate, loathe – everything about him; how he treats people, how he betrays, without knowledge or consent, the women to whom he has made a commitment and whom love him, how he refuses to open himself up to others about his past or live in any sort of authentic or honest way with his family.
I finally have it – Scrooge McDuck’s Evening Adventure is mine! After more than 9 years of waiting, searching, and trying to find it, again, it is mine!
For you fellow veterans of Skyrim, I stumbled across a solution for your sweet roll storage problems while in Leawood, Kansas today. Never did I think the culinary industry would hear our cries! But they have. It’s the small things in life that make it so beautiful.
There seems to be a misconception that ragtime music died along with the western saloons and brothels in which it reached its fruition. That isn’t true. If you grew up playing Nintendo, you may not even realize that you are a huge ragtime fan. You know dozens of ragtime hits and hearing them will probably…
This fourth of July, I started the day at a family dinner pool party, spent the early afternoon watching BBC’s Sherlock with my grandmother who instantly fell in love with it, and tonight, I will be in my home study playing Civilization V Gods & Kings probably until 4 or 5 a.m. However, I have discovered…
With the season premier of True Blood upon us, I began thinking about how lessons on life, money, and success are all around us if you just pay close enough attention. If you understand how compounding works, it is so easy to get rich if you have enough time. Consider Sam Merlotte, the Bon Temps bartender and resident landlord. His character is around 30 years old, give or take several years, when the show began.
I have been hearing a lot of grumbling lately from friends and fellow gamers about the cost of video games. The economist in me cringes when an otherwise rational person jumps into a diatribe on the state of video game pricing and the various console wars because it reminds me of those people who insist that gas is at an all-time high, even when the inflation-adjusted cost of traveling one mile is less than it was in the 1950s. Listening to it makes me realize how thoroughly our education system has failed at producing rational, informed citizens capable of competing in the information age where knowledge is power.
I left work and went to Lowe’s to pick up a few things for the home renovation project. As I’m walking and conversing with Aaron, with whom I was speaking at the time, I see pickaxes out of the side of my eye. I think in the back of my mind, “Oh, I need that to…
There is a painting from 1750 by artist Thomas Gainsborough called Mr. and Mrs. Andrews. The original hangs in the National Gallery in London, England, where it has been held in collection for more than 50 years. The painting depicts a man, Mr. Robert Andrews, and his wife, Frances Mary Carter. The two were promised…
I have done it! My champion in Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Azrah Gestahl, has reached Level 100 Conjuration, Level 100 Destruction, and Level 100 Enchantment. My overall Level is 47, so I’m about to hit the soft cap of 51 that the gaming forums say is in place. I’m in the process of creating a set of ultimate weapons and armor, upgrading my old “Ganon’s” series to a new, “Lord Ganon’s” series en homage to the legendary villain of The Legend of Zelda series. This allowed me to create a situation that got the mathematical cost of all destruction spells, regardless of their power, to zero. Infinite power. Unlimited magic.
