I'll get to my blog in a moment; I just wanted to give
sympathy's to family and friends of those hurt in the Colorado Springs
shootings. Everyone should be safe to enjoy art, stories, movies, and life
without the worry that someone being so selfish as to take it from them
maliciously. This is to the people who lost their life following their passion,
and to those whom had one of their favorite stories darkly tainted.
Don’t' forget what Batman is about, regular people standing
up against the atrocities of the wicked.
My title this week is because I dislocated my left pinky
playing soccer and is in a splint. I play keeper, so yes I'm the only man in
the WORLD that can hurt their hands while playing a foot sport. Go me. I'm
letting the swelling go down, but I might be taking a trip the finger doctor
guy. If it still feels like this in a few weeks I don’t see how I can avoid
going under the knife. It's going to be awesome time, really, I not even lying
that much right now.
The weather around my house has been hard to follow, while I
read about the rest of the US living in an heat wave, Seattle finds its self
unclear. The weather moves between 80 and sunny, to 50 and downpour. I'm used
to Seattle having wet winters and dry summers. But the last two years this has been
the case. It was kind of fun to watch Seattle be the only place in the
contiguous United States that wasn't suffering from some kind of heat wave.
This year I wonder; is world weather shifting?
Ok I’m kind of an addict right now trying to catch up on it
all. I really didn’t think that much of Felicia Day other works, but this has
been fun. It’s less formatted and more just about what they want to do and I’m
the first person to tell you I’m behind that kind of internet play, 101% If
they can keep it up and rolling I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do.

LUNAR!
I'm not really that big of a gamer; when I was younger I
always thought that I was. I did play a lot of games, and I owned even more. But,
I think, of all the traits that make you a gamer; you have to finish games you
start. The easy ones, the hard ones (so hard they make you toss controllers about
the room. Maybe they should make controllers out of super-ball rubber?), I
found that I rarely finished a game and when I did, it was an RPG. I didn't
really think about it at the time (just I believed I was a crock of a gamer
that needed to keep his horrible deeds under wraps), but I think what kept me
playing RPG games was the story, not the action of Contra or the castle
crushing antics of Super Mario Brothers.
I've said this a few times my favorite game series was
Lunar, I did a blog article a while back when I guest appeared on Amber's blog.
I enjoyed doing that so much that I pulled out my collection and looked it
over. It was good, but it wasn't...perfect.
TO THE WORLD OF EBAY!
I had the first Sega CD Lunar with the original cover and
the two complete remakes for the PlayStation, also I had some of the strategy
guides wrapped. But I was missing the Lunar 2 hardback strat and I didn't even
own Lunar 2 for the Sega CD. From the day after that blog, till now I've spent
time looking for and putting together the rest of what was released. In both US
and Japan. I give to you…the list!

has about the best website ever for the game and It has stuck around for a long
time now. I hope it's always there.
Books:
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson - It was
an interesting read, it falls into more of the darker YA I have been seeing
where Amy’s father dies and she’s left behind while feeling that everything
that happens is her fault. The story is a very interesting trip across America
going against the rules her mother placed on her. I didn’t feel they completed
enough plot threads to make me happy.
Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb - Keeping with my
theme of only reading books that start with A in the title, I've added Robin's
book to my pile of "too much stuff to get through". After spending a
whole weekend around her and my wife spending a sometime with her at Comic-Con,
I thought I should get the know her writing better than not at all. Just started, but well written. I'm already
given the impression that this isn't your typically authored book.
Movies:
Ted – It was cute
and it was fun, but I don’t see myself buying it till it’s in the Wal-Mart
discount bin. It was fun to watch, but it was basically like watching a live
action family guy episode
Cars 2 - Okay people, what was the problem with Cars
2? Was it juts not funny enough? Was something missing? I mean I felt it had
all the points I'd expect from a Pixar movie. I think if people liked Brave
they should have liked this one. Note: I've never seen all of Cars 1, just
parts while it played in the corner at home. I liked it, so there.
Music:
Pedro the Lion - Next up on my tour of collecting the
completed works of tour; Pedro. I've owned Control and Winners Never Quit. I've
followed up buyin: It's Hard to Find a Friend, Achilles Heel, Whole EP, The
Only Reason I Feel Secure, Progress, and Tour ED '04. Thank you Amazon MP3. When I create my next sublime character,
you'll know why. Still the music is amazing.
Beach House, Bloom - I picked up their newest CD
Bloom for 5 bucks, I was told about it by my brother. It's very dream pop,
something I'd say I first really liked when I heard...
Summer Twins - http://summertwinsmusic.com/
They opened for Mathew Sweet when he came to town and after listening to Beach
House I needed to some dreaming surf funk sounds, they fit the bill nicely. But
I needed something harder so I listen to...
Helmet - Some hard-core surf punk, I could do this
all day
But I won’t I’m massively behind on my editing, so much I’m
not even blogging about it!
Good day!
Robert
