Totally not the Special K Diet

1 02 2010

Every once in a while, Magdelyn and I come up with a really silly plan.  They range from something mundane, like lets get a new TV, so the extreme, “lets get married”

Today we had another one of those great ideas that won’t shake family foundations, and that was to eat nothing but cereal for breakfast and dinner for two weeks.  this came about from us having a cereal dinner tonight, and reading the special K box to see how much healthier we would be by eating it.

So here are the official rules:

  1. If we eat breakfast, it has to be cereal.
  2. Dinner is cereal.
  3. Lunch can be not cereal, seeing as eating cereal at work can be a challenge.
  4. This will last from February 1st to February 16th.
  5. Oatmeal can be substituted.

This is the cereal I will be eating.

Retro Mario World

24 10 2009

One of the best games ever.  Of everything I have ever played looking back, this is one of the few games that really holds up to the test of time. It is still hard, causing Maggie and I to both to scream profanities at the screen.  It also is a lot of fun, and the levels vary enough to keep my attention.

We're still having fun, and you're still the one.

We're still having fun, and you're still the one.

Maggie and I are playing it on Virtual Console, and she is using the Classic Controller, so I think she has a slight advantage.  The placement of the buttons on the Wavebird does not really make this game easy, and after 10 minutes my fingers are sore from the wacky layout.  Still, the fun outweighs the pain, and I am very happy to be playing it again.

Craziest thing is, I’m playing on a 42 inch TV, and because of the SNES graphics, it still looks exactly the same.  I’m writing this in between playing levels, because on two player it alternates who is playing at what time.

This is still a solid game.

I want to try something different in a movie review.  I am going to give one photo, and one sentence to review an entire movie.  I am going to start with Paranormal Activity.  Ready? Here we go!

This should not be required to watch a movie.
