Help w/Video Game Selection

What's your favorite video game? I need some suggestions.

I prefer quest-type or games such as Call of Duty, Special Ops, Dragon Age, and Assasin's Creed.

I am looking for captivating, forget-to-eat kind of game.

What is your favorite? Quick, an anniversary is coming up!

You Might Be a Writer If...

http://littlelolitofu.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/inner-reasoning/
In the vein of Jeff Foxworthy and his ‘you might be a redneck’ comedy routine, I am starting, ‘You might be a writer’.

Feel free to contribute. Or swipe ‘em as the case may be.


Okay. Me first.

You might be a writer if…you decided to write a few minutes before sunrise and breakfast. Now the sun is up, hubby gone, and it is lunchtime.

You might be a writer if…the word ‘query’, in any context, gets your attention.

You might be a writer if…your family knows that a vacant stare means the voices are speaking to you.

Now it is your turn.

Thank you for the award. I am humbled and words fail me

"...I've always held a sneaking admiration for this one. " - Scotty



Star Trek, as we know it, Blogfest - August 22








Ellie Garratt is looking for crewmembers, aficionados of Star Trek.

“Bend low gentlemen, it reads pretty low over there.” – Scotty.

Sign up, brace for impact, and let’s have some fun, August 22.

Scotty: Computer! Computer?
(he’s handed a mouse and speaks into it) Hello, computer?
Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard.
Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint.

And We’re Back

Vacations are a study in human nature. Try walking into a restaurant at 8 pm with a crowd of 24 hungry people and you’ll see what I mean.

In that case, the waitress flinched as we paraded through the door. But she sighed and went to work feeding my dysfunctional family and me. We left her a large tip and much praise. That helped I think.

Still I noticed her face whiten before she could control her emotions. A nice character trait for my MC to emulate.

Vacations (with my brothers, their families, and my own) are as easy-going or as difficult as we let them be. I learned some time ago that organization is a dirty word when surrounded by such a myriad of differing personalities. I go with the flow and repeat this mantra at regular intervals: I am on vacation, I am on vacation.

Southeast Missouri has some of the coolest geography.

Springs,











rivers,










caves, and old, old lava.

ElephantRocks State Park consists of monstrous pink granite boulders lined up in a parade. Their mossy hides complete the image by giving them a gray hue.

But lemme tell ya, standing beside tons of boulders in 100-degree heat is not particularly pleasant.
