Twinkies

I was on a gob kick as of late.  They’re sometimes referred to as “whoopie pies.”  I just finished the last of my stash and I was getting an urge for a twinkie.  I don’t know why, maybe it was exposure a couple of weeks ago.  The craving has stuck, but at least I found [...]

The clock

I love my neighborhood.  It’s great.  More often than not, I’m disappointed that I don’t take advantage of it.  I found an antiques store today with this art deco clock that winds up with a key.  It was intricately carved and I really wanted to take it home, even though I didn’t have a place [...]

Dragon Age: Updates

I almost hate to admit it but I may have reached that quitting point about six hours into Dragon Age: Origins.
Spoiler alert.  You may want to not read this.  For courtesy’s sake, I’m putting in a cut and all story related issues will be afterwards.
It’s not that I dislike Dragon Age: Origins.  In fact, I [...]
