Beyblade: Evolution (3DS)

I don’t like this game. This isn’t going to be a favorable review. Hear me out. The thing is, Beyblade: Evolution isn’t a bad game from what I can tell. It’s just not what my I or even my 10 year old son enjoy. Travelling around and battling other characters is a stable in these…

A lot of sentiment is being tossed about the internet the last week or so with regards to Black Friday and sales starting before then. Specifically there is growing backlash against stores opening the evening of Thanksgiving for sales. That’s all well and good, and I agree with that sentiment, but there is an additional…

What I’m Playing Now

By |

I used to run a video game and DVD/Blu-ray news and review website. When I had to give that up (the monthly cost was $250 and the income was $0 – I was, and still am, $4,ooo in debt) I didn’t sever all ties with the industry. You can see the results of my continued…

He opens the pantry door and peruses what is available. Spying the box of graham crackers, he asks for one. And one for Ciárán. And Déla. And…

One morning Xavier decided he was a cat and wanted to hide under the stool like the cats sometimes do. Almost every day after school Xavier takes the lunch boxes of the three older kids and rummages through them for leftovers. This is his after school snack. Here he is with three deconstructed lunches in…

Does Anybody Ever Go To Chuck E. Cheese For The Pizza?

I’ve been to Chuck E. Cheese’s twice in the last couple of weeks. Two different locations even. Let’s face it, if it weren’t for birthday parties, this franchise would have shut down decades ago. Both times I went were for birthday parties. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to Chuck E. Cheese’s without…

Yeah, my kids use training pants overnight. It’s just the 3 and 6 year olds, and I don’t feel great about using them, but it’s better than doing laundry every day. Well, we do laundry every day as it is, usually a couple of loads. You get the idea. I was looking at my son’s…

Here is a blurry picture of Xavier during gymnastics. It’s the best one I could get of him as he was constantly on the move. Here he is in the back yard after I picked him up from preschool. He’s making stew for dinner. Yeah, that’s all I have for this week. Sorry.
