    Work and Posting

    It's 4:27 am...almost six and a half hours into my night shift here at the hospital, with another two and a half hours to go. *yawn* I'm currently on a break, and up to my umpteenth cup of coffee. Perhaps I should just insert a coffee IV. Hmm. Anywho, I was wondering how many others on BAR...

    Audio Books

    I have a son with a visual impairment and 'cause he also has severe Cerebral Palsy his ability to use Braille is...well...nil.

    Oh no, Will, you're gravely mistaken. What would the world be without FOUR Anaconda films? A little more serious and far less cheesy. ;) By not pretending to be anything other than it was, cheesy, Snakes On A Plane came out as a winner; I hear quotes from the movie constantly throughout...

    Recently Finished

    Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. A fabulous work of historical fiction. Brooks managed to weave a beautiful tapestry of words by using scant historical details and a fertile imagination. :stars4:

    Had a 'cheese fest' last evening with a few friends. A movie marathon of the genre: cheese. Ferocious Planet - It was so impossibly bad that I want to scrub any memory of it from my brain with steel wool. Snakes on a Plane - Unadulterated cheese, but lots of fun. Anacondas: The Hunt...

    How to make a video game less fun

    I shall never be able to play games such as Smack the Penguin again without thinking of such things as kinetic energy etc...instead of the pleasure gained by belting the crap out of pingu. Thanks. :p

    The official 2012 apocalypse thread

    Sensible plan. You can't be too careful when it comes to zombies. They're not very smart but they are persistent.
