I’m Here LACC

Well, I got there friday. I took this photo really late in the day because I realized I didn’t have anything. I’ll be at LA Comic Con all weekend, and hope to see you there.

A Simpler Time

I’ve been playing games as long as I can remember. When I was really little my family had an old Atari system. Not sure what model, but I know I liked Pacman. Then they got an NES, and became obsessed. Also pretty sure I got it sometime before the SNES was announced, but I didn’t know of it’s existence till after it came out.

Then while still a kid in the 90’s my family got their first computer, which I remember came with a lot of stuff. One game that I remember most is Eric’s Ultimate Solitaire, that I would play on for hours on end. That is if I didn’t feel like playing something more advanced for the time like Duke Nukem 3D or Warcraft 2 (gee, a lot of wikipedia links). Then when I got my G4 Tower I loaded it on there too. Because sometimes you want something different from Warcraft 3 or don’t feel like photoshopping something.

Eventually I lost track of the game, mainly because a compatibility update to it didn’t exist for many years. I mean, had a pretty good iMac that I would play World of Warcraft on (but remember, we are mad at Blizzard right now), or do even more Photoshop, Illustrator, or use something else from Adobe to work with. Or just open up your iPad to play Plants vs Zombies on. Eventually you get bored for the time being and just want a simple game to play in-between. And with luck, I was able to find that one game again from the guy that created it all. Relief. And yes, I won this game of Eight Off.

What, Are, You, Doing?

Do you people remember at all the mess that happened the last time we had a recall election? And it was completely because of one guy, Darrell Issa. He ran for governor of California but lost the republican primary election, then the guy to win that, Bill Simon, lost the general to democrat, Gary Davis. I remember not long after that election I found people talking about a recall led by Issa, he decided to lead the charge, all because he just cared about being governor.

Soon after when the recall election was made official, Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would run. The next day, Issa held a press conference, crying, saying he will not run, and it completely had to do with Arnold. He later came out and admitted he made a mistake.

As for these people my best guess is they are anti vaxers, complaining about a law that was passed, they are completely against because of massive misinformation related to their movement. Now, I agree, vaccines aren’t for everyone because there are a small amount of people that can’t get them for medical reasons, and is widely agreed they should be exempt, as the rest of us protect them with our immunizations. I have a couple of friends whose kid got measles because of this careless moment. Their selfishness will ruin lives.

Birds of Prey

I know there are people feeling iffy about this coming out, but so far I would say DC is improving on their movies after seeing Aquaman and Shazam. Lets see how this turns out.

Unicorn Skull

Just when you start to think the fake skeletons of animals that don’t actually have skeletons, like spiders and octopuses are a bit much, this curveball comes right at you. The head of something that doesn’t even exist. I’ll be waiting for gryphons and jörmungandr next.

Happy Birthday Fluff Balls

My dogs just became 7 a few days ago. And it’s pretty hard getting a photo of them looking at the camera. It’s always hard with pets because they tend not to get it. But I still like them anyways.
