Video games have come a long way in terms of story over the past three decades. Back in the days when 8 bit was the new 4 bit and you had to use your imagination to fill in the gaps between those pixels, the only plot you really needed was “you’re a good guy. Everyone else is bad. Kill kill kill.”
Collegetown, Penn — Penn State’s 75-year college reunion was disrupted Tuesday by the arrival of a horde of living dead from nearby Collegetown Cemetery.

Since the season premier of Top Chef: DC, I have been underwhelmed by both the talent and the contestants. They are an unlikable bunch, save for one or two. I have been rooting for Andrea to go home since she showed up on my TV screen a few weeks ago. Why? Good question…
This Tip Tuesday will be a bit different. Instead of me offering a tip or 2, I am asking for some. We are now into day 32 of summer vacation & I can't take the bickering anymore. Seriously, if I could plug my ears with something that wouldn't hurt me, I would do it!
Divorced? Really? Oh well, start again. But this time with more panache and less pasta and more sex and more living and less slowly dying and more joy and less what if?

We just got a new puppy—a gorgeous, apricot, standard poodle. He is only 8 weeks old and quite adorable. The males in the house opted for the name Neo, after the main character in the Matrix. No “Pierre” or “Croissant” for this poodle!
Well, I’m on this topic because Neo has been home for over a week and he refuses to be crate trained. He’s currently sleeping with me and my husband until I get some advice from a good trainer.

Swearing on blogs, do you or don't you? I was curious on the subject myself, since being a ''Mom Blogger'' I was supposed to adhere to a whole set of standards. Which I pretty much disregard anyway. My post was entitled Thou shalt not swear and was aimed at the Mom blogging community in general about the standards we are sometimes expected to meet.
An inquiry to writers about inspiration, the thought processes that go along with it, what drives me and/or causes me to write and a little of what I know, thus far.
Minimalism leaves the reader to take an active role in the creation of the story by filling in the blanks left by the author's spare prose. Hyperminimalism leaves more blanks for the reader to fill, as in the following example:
Something happened. A man with glasses was involved.
The great scholar, Charles W. Eliot once said “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
I love this quote because in so many ways it is true. I think of all the books I have fallen in love with, that have transported me to another time, another place. For the sake of not sounding too sappy books quench my soul. They really do.
It’s not gawdy and colourful. It didn’t come in a beautiful box with attractive illustrations, but it’s one of the best tools I have at my disposal to keep me on track and make me aware of my connection to my subconscious mind. When I need a quick reminder to stay on my path, or when I need to touch base with my mind at a deeper level or set an intention for the day, I pull out my trusty little plastic container of cue cards, and inevitably pull a card that is apt for that moment in time.
Hey you kids! Get the hell off my lawn! With your gameboys and iPods and knife crime. You don’t know you’re born. Back in my day we’d walk seven miles to pick up a CD from our local record store. Uphill. Both ways.
