These are not the droids you are looking for...
Just finished Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for the second time (once as a good guy, once as a bad guy). I must say this is the most addictively fun console game I have ever played. I'd be a janitor at Bioware just to be near their genius. All my favorite games are from that company: Baldur's Gate I & II (plus expansions), Neverwinter Nights (plus expansion), and now the only good Star Wars based RPG... fantastic.
Maybe my fiance will see me more now... at least until they release another game.

Tomb Raider review:
An open letter to Sherry Lansing, CEO, Paramount Pictures:
My favorite part of this very good review is this:
"Very early in the movie, Lara takes a long underwater journey to a tomb where she first discovers the orb. She then has to escape the tomb minus the little underwater propeller boat that got her there. On her way down she passes cliffs and it basically takes forever. On the way out, she appears to emerge in a different ocean. However, Lara is smart, so she slices open her arm to attract the sharks and when one of them comes hurtling toward her, she punches it in the face, stops it cold, and then grabs onto its fin. The shark, obviously stunned, guides Lara safely to the surface of the ocean where she operates a safety beacon to signal her friends to come rescue her.
I actually watched a lobotomized four-year-old squeal off in his electric wheel chair to sign for his refund after this scene."

Odin's new friend...
The vet said I should get another dog since mine has "separation anxiety" and flips out when he's left alone. So....
It didn't take much convincing...

proof reading
I have a diet coke can that says: "Present this can and SAVE $7 Mon-Sun off the Adult General Admission." (King's Dominion)
Why Mon-Sun? Why not all week? Why not all the time? Why not just leave it off entirely? Am I missing something here?
