iPad Review

I wrote the review for my library blog and thought you all would be interested in reading it, as well. Enjoy! As some of you know, I purchased an iPad about a month ago. This was by no means an easy purchase for me. The things aren’t cheap, after all ($499 for the base model), and I don’t exactly have money growing on trees out back. However, I really really really wanted one, and I was able to scrounge up enough to cover the cost. Even then, I debated in Best Buy for quite some time. Was I buying into […]

Giving Buffy a Second Try

Denisa and I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer last night. We’d tried this before, but didn’t get past the first four episodes or so. It just wasn’t enough to hold our attention, and we gave it up. However, enough people who I know and respect swear by this show, and I’d heard since that it improves in later seasons–that it took some time for the show to really get its feet under it. I can appreciate that, so this time we skipped season one and went right on to season two. Got through two episodes last night. The first

The End of Lost

Six years after it began, the end of Lost finally rolled around. I watched it down in Orlando, after having gone to Cocoa Beach during the day. (I thought that a fitting way to celebrate the end of the beach-centered show.) What did I think about it? I loved it. I honestly don’t believe they could have done a better job with the ending. It answered many questions, leaving others open to interpretation–just as a show like Lost should have done. (There are people still whining about not getting enough answers, but I think they wouldn’t be satisfied unless the

Amazing Race

I’ll admit it: I love the Amazing Race. Which on the surface, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I hate flying with a sun-hot intensity. I’d rather go to the dentist than go flying (although oddly enough, I have flown to get my wife to go to the dentist . . .) But I love being in other countries and seeing the sights, and I love a good competition. So while I love watching the Amazing Race, I do it with the full realization that I could never actually participate. And that’s okay. For those of you poor souls

Bakugan

So there’s this thing that’s all the rage at TRC’s school: Bakugan. You heard of it? I hadn’t, until he started coming home every day raving about how cool they were. Basically, they’re small little spheres that have a magnetic latch inside them. When they roll over metal, the latch activates, and they spring open, becoming tiny little creatures. I can see why he likes them. It reminds me of my obsession with Transformers back in the day. Better yet, these are actually a game of some sort. They come with metal cards, and you can have your Bakugan fight
