Around town

Out driving around town and I came upon all these old signs lined up along the wall. Turns out that right across the street is the American Sign Museum which I read about a while back in one of Chris Glass' blogs. Small world.

Fire Hydrant

Well Christina beat me to posting a picture of the R2D2 mailbox up at Kenwood mall but I bet she missed the fire hydrant at the entrance to the parking lot.

God of War

Well it would seem that I am tiring of the time sink that is World of Warcraft. I've started exploring new games again. Most recently I picked up God of War. WOW! it's a fun game but mom's this isn't a game for the kiddies. The blood and gore is everywhere but the killing isn't as lifelike as in Metal Gear:Solid. In that one you could see the main character slitting throats and a bunch of blood spraying out.

It only takes about 15 minutes of getting into the game to start seeing boobies everywhere. first it is the two women begging the hero to come back to bed. then later the Medusa and other scantily clad women.

Getting this game kind of reminds me of one movie Camille and I went to see. It was totally an adult comedy. Probably like Freddy got Fingered or something. I can't really remember. What I do remember is some little kid, and I do mean little, tricked his grandmother into taking him and his even younger little sister. I remember her scolding him and saying that she was going to tell his mother. it was so funny.

Ah, Spring is here - April Fools!

The beginning of this week was so nice with temperatures in the mid 70's and overnight lows in the 50's. I think Mother Nature was playing an April Fools joke on us because now it is freezing overnight and destroying all the early blooming flowers. had to bring in the bleeding hearts so they didn't get killed. how ironic sounding.

I really need to learn how to use the macro function on my camera so I can take some up close shots of flowers this summer. more importantly I need to practice holding the damn camera steady. it seems that so many of my shots are just blurry.

New game for everyone to try.

So i've been playing a game online that Ed introduced me to and i'm hooked. It is odd and sometimes hard to understand but more importantly, it is free and totally web based so you can play from any computer. There is nothing to download for all you fraidy-cats out there. If you decide to try it out, we're in Universe 27.

Don't ask me why they call it ogame, I don't know. I've tried finding out but no luck.

The light goes on...

Ok, there was a public pool here in Erlanger that Camille went to for over 10 years with her family. Tonight as we passed, she noticed that they had torn it down. So I mentioned how when i first started hearing about it from her family I thought it was the Tripoli swim club. Turns out it was Triple EEE. So i told her that i didn't think of it as the Erlanger Elsmere Edgewood club and you should have seen it. the light turned on and it was so funny to watch. she'd never put it together. we both laughed so hard.

What a House!

Ok, so i'm running a call today to fix a laptop and when i get to the house it is absolutely amazing. the rooms are just massive there aren't enough words to describe it. So i'll just give you a picture i took as i was leaving. That Hummer in the driveway belongs to their 18yo son. The pool, basketball court and tennis court are in back.

Just out of curiosity and because i'm getting pretty good at being a web sleuth, i looked it up and it is a $3m mansion.
