A Lotta Nuthin!

By jesser | Published: 6:10 pm

We've been blissfully passing our time playing loads of video games, watching loads of TV (thank you Spike TV for the James Bond Marathon) and doing a little bit of Christmas shopping. It's amazing how stress free Christmas shopping can be when you do it little by little. It's been damn cold here. It tried [...]

mmmm … Turkey

I love Thanksgiving. The weather is getting colder, our AC is freezing over , Thanksgiving food is always good , the new recipes we tried this year were great, and you don’t have to go to work. But the reason I like Thanksgiving the most is that is signals the start of the Christmas Season!

Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving

By jesser | Published: 4:17 pm

I've always enjoyed Thanksgiving, but now I enjoy it even more. Kelly comes to visit and we spend a week hanging out, watching movies, playing video games and board games and shopping for Christmas. It's a most excellent time. I've got all sorts of fun things planned. We're going to rent a bunch of video [...]

Saturday Mornings

By jesser | Published: 9:07 am

Matt works very hard all week, so he likes to sleep in on Saturday mornings. Since I get regular sleep, I'm always ready to go, so I do. I like to get up and eat a bit of brekkie and then have a nice workout and then a go on the computer. Early morning web [...]

Pirates of the Caribbean

By jesser | Published: 10:06 pm

Ok, normally I would never plan a video game named after the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, but this is different. The marketing deal appears to be an after thought. The game was supposed to be released as the sequel to Sea Dogs, which itself borrowed a lot from an old Atari/PC game Pirates! What [...]

Being Good

By jesser | Published: 7:54 am

OMG! There's a Simpson's arcade game on Ebay for like $1000. I'd LOVE to buy it, especially since the seller is within easy drive distance (N. Chicago). But there's no way I can afford it. It's one of my all-time favorite games. My family used to go to this Pizza Hut and have dinner with [...]

Why I Love the Internet

By jesser | Published: 8:03 am

I've listed a link below that sums up why I love the internet. It's the lyrics to the rap classic, “Baby Got Back” translated into Latin. This is why I'm glad Latin has never wholy died out. It's just good comedy to translate obscure, ridiculous things into the rather sanctified Latin tongue. So without furher [...]

It's Getting to Be that Time of Year …

By jesser | Published: 8:55 am

Well it's not even Thanksgiving yet and I'm knee deep in Christmas preparations. I've got tons of stuff to do. But I love this time of year. It's cold and you're bustling around getting things done and it's great. I like all the stuff to do and the weather and the music. Now if it [...]

Martha + Jennifer = Turkey

By jesser | Published: 4:00 pm

Okay, so I'm flipping through channels today while I was working out and suddenly, Jennifer Garner (star of Alias for those of you who live in an igloo) is on my screen. It's a Tuesday and only 11 AM, so I'm (understandably) a bit confused. Then Martha shows up. Yep, Martha Stewart and Jennifer Garner. [...]
