Over the years I’ve collected so many of these Thanksgiving “cards” that I can never decide which to use. So I simply use them all. Happy Thanksgiving.Read More →

So, I’m trying out the brand new Age of Mythology: Retold (2024) this week to mixed success. It’s a rerelease of the original Age of Mythology with major upgrades to some of the core mechanics. Basically, it’s the same game but has some new features, mainly to catch it up to today’s technology, I think. And I’m not sure I like it. Or, maybe, I’m just having trouble getting used to the new setup. We’ll see. For literally years, Age of Mythology (2002) from Ensemble Studies & Microsoft has been my all-time favorite game to play on the computer. Seriously, bar none, this is theRead More →

I have recently discovered the joys of listening to podcasts. But I’m picky and it took me awhile to find some podcasts I really, really like. Well, two. The other is a goal I’ve set for myself. The first is the Adventures of Superman radio serial on Botar’s Old Time Radio. I love listening to this. It’s just so cute. Yes, I said cute. And there is a lot of it to get through. (1444 – 12 minute episodes) One thing though, I knew before I started listening to it that the character of Jimmy Olsen was introduced in this radio serial. I didn’t know thatRead More →

This third installment in her Honey Badger Chronicles was released on March 31 and I downloaded it the second I got up. Then spent the rest of the day reading it. I cannot express how much I enjoy her books. How much I laugh and giggle while reading them. To me they are simply fun to read. Which means I’m probably going to go back and read all three. Like immediately. One other thing I’ve noticed, especially this time, is how much she always surprises me with her heroes and heroines. I always think they’re going to go in one direction personality-wise. And they don’t.Read More →

Otherwise known as getting in the mood for Halloween.  I was re-watching the old TV series Jonathan Creek after finding it on Amazon Prime and got curious about the theme music. I figured it was written for the series but nope. Apparently the theme of that show is part of a fairly famous piece of music written by Camille Saint-Saëns with very strong roots in Halloween. More on that in moment. Also, once you get something like that in your head it’s hard to get it out so I thought everyone else should also have it firmly in their head for Halloween too. So enjoy.  WhatRead More →

All My Favorites: Shelly Laurenston  For reference, the titles I know I’ve read are in bold. as Shelly Laurenston Magnus Pack Pack Challenge – this was the book and series that sold me on reading her books although I think I’d already read one or two of her Dragon Kin series (in the original ebook version no less) Go Fetch!

I’ve been winding down from a difficult week for the last two nights by rewatching The Mummy trilogy, which isn’t actually a trilogy but more a double feature of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns with an added spin-off of The Scorpion King. If you haven’t seen them, romance fans, treat yourself someday because it is all there – adventure, mystery, fantasy and real romance. Okay, mystery may be a stretch so call it suspense if you want but it’s all in one very nice package in all three movies minus the blood and gore traditionally associated with horror or action/adventure films. The Mummy isRead More →
