Happy Christma-Hanu-Kwanza!

I won't be posting for the next 2-3 weeks. Instead--God/Allah/Buddha willing--I will be catching up on movies, books, sleep, nookie, skiing, gaming, cooking, eating, etc. In my absence, feel free to keep yourself entertained with this game. It's quite addictive, and OH so pretty. I can't get past level 12, but it's still fun trying. As a bonus, the music is rather tranquil.

Also, here is an early present for my fellow Hellboy fans out there. The trailer for Hellboy II is apparently going on-line tomorrow, can't wait! Happy Christma-Hanu-Kwanza everybody! Indian Princess and I hope to see some of you over the break. Heiwa!



Update: I beat level 12, and apparently the game! Hoowa!

Today's WTF Link

Um, yeah, WTF?

With that said, I'm debating getting one. I wonder if they come in blue?

Updated: Now with video!

My Daemon

With the recent arrival of "The Golden Compass", I thought I'd visit the movies website, and one of the things you can do there is take a personality quiz to find your "daemon". Personality quizes are usually hit or miss, but I found this one to be spot on, "modest, responsible, solitary, proud, and dependable" are the qualities that are listed. However, I'm still getting use to the idea of a crow named "Xanthia" being my spirit animal, but what can you do? Feel free to take the quiz and either post your results on your blog or in the comments.



I may take up Fleur's offer to let me borrow and read her copy of the trilogy of books that the movie is based on. If the Flock is planning on seeing the movie in the near future, let Indian Princess and I know, I'm sure we would enjoy it.

Speaking of Indian Princess. She recently redesigned Wyoming Public Radio's website, and did a bang-up job in my opinion. Keep in mind, she did this without any formal training with the software she used. You kick ass babe! You can see the redesigned website by clicking here.

Bruce Wayne aka John Connor

Interesting. I loved T2 as a kid, and I'd love it if the franchise got more serious and less "Ahnold slapstick". I always found the war between man and the machines to be one of the more intriguing aspects of the movies. I'd love to see an entire film set in that time period.

Post-Turkey Day Post

Last week, "Indian Princess" and I spent Thanksgiving with her parents in Lakeside, Montana. We had a wonderful, laid-back time in a beautiful, beautiful area. We were able to catch a couple of flicks while we were up there, The Mist, 1408, and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which was an abomination of a comic movie. I mean it was X-3, Spidey-3-craptastic. Galactus as a cloud?!?! WTF!?! I did enjoy The Mist and 1408, and would give them each a solid “B” rating. However, "Indian Princess" wanted to hurt kittens after the controversial ending of The Mist.

When we gathered around the dinner table on Thanksgiving, I thought of what I was personally thankful for. A list of the many things that crossed my mind follows.

I am thankful for:

• Being able to share each and every day of my life with my wonderful wife.
• Having great relations with my mother & father-in-law.
• The safe travels that we had.
• Having the support of family throughout the years and always being encouraged just to be myself.
• My good health.
• Job security.
• Having the camper to ourselves (wink, wink).
• Cuddles with loving old cats.
• The toasty-warm atmosphere of a cozy living room.
• Exquisite Thanksgiving food such as homemade rolls, devilled eggs, stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and peanut butter fudge.
• Funyuns–the ultimate road-trip snack in my opinion. If you don’t like Funyuns than Jesus hates you.
• The privilege and good-fortune to experience and enjoy all of the above.

It’s cliché, but I do hope that everyone is able to pause and reflect and be thankful for the good things in their lives, even if just for one day. It’s important to always focus on the good, regardless of how much bad there may be. In my mind, there is simply no other way to live. I hope everyone else had a great Turkey day.

Peace, out!
