De-Jeweled

Around the beginning of the year, one of the wife’s iPhone purchases got copied onto my phone during an update. Since it’s a video game, I figured what the hell, and gave this Bejeweled 2 a chance. I rocked it early on, but then gave it up after awhile because it just was a tad […]

Friday Funnies

I’ll do some recaps of the Hawaiian vacation upon my return (because I refuse to spend more than 15 minutes per day here on the computer). But I can promise you that while I’ve had a sweet time and it’s been uber-relaxing (despite the wife being sick throughout the whole vacation … major bummer), I […]

So first […]

If you love Zombieland (hand raised) and love The Oregon Trail (other hand raised), then this is one of the best time-killers you can find on the interwebs. In playing The […]

Don’t Be Frightened … Again

Got to see one of my favorite bands again last night. Frightened Rabbit was wrapping up the U.S. tour so I wanted to make sure I checked them out since they probably won’t be back stateside for another couple years. The opening act, Plants and Animals, was decent but it didn’t sound like they’ve figured […]
