Friday, May 28th, 2004 Posted in Just for Fun | 6 Comments »

Yesterday became a very early birthday as my wife let my open my presents. We now have a GameCube. And four controllers. And money to spend on games. Apparently we couldn't wait to take advantage of the video action -- ...

Saved! Tomorrow

Thursday, May 27th, 2004 Posted in Movies | No Comments »

Saved! opens tomorrow. It's really an intriguing movie for people of faith. Maybe more of a swamp -- it's one of those iffy kind of movies that people will get passionate about. I wrote up a quick review of it today, ...

Monday, May 24th, 2004 Posted in Just for Fun | 4 Comments »

I mentioned the other day that I'm thinking about getting a Nintendo. I've been pretty anti-Nintendo in the past few years, at least when it comes to owning one. I know myself, and I have a tendency to become addicted ...

Long Lost Family Ties

Monday, May 24th, 2004 Posted in Family | 3 Comments »

Oddly enough I've had comments posted in the past two days from family members I haven't talked to in at least ten years. In one case it'll be ten years this summer, in the other case I don't know how ...
