Interesting idea with the geolocation to make sure gambling does not cross state lines.

Senior Experience Agents for the win.

Made Level 4 Barbarian with an accumulation of minor chores.

A game designed for those of us who actually want to feel lost and alone.

Chore Wars

After just one day, I am already a Level 3 Barbarian.

That is what spending most of the day fighting with the gutters and driveway will do for you.

Better learning through games.

She has some very interesting ideas.

The Sorcerer by Gilbert & Sullivan

http://www.amazon.com/Gilbert-Sullivan-Sorcerer-Revill-Kernan/dp/B00006JU6H

I would like to watch this DVD.

Unfortunately, it is not in the MCFLS.

Embassy

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068538/

Spy thriller with Richard Roundtree and Chuck Connors.

I saw it many years ago and would like to see it again.

Unfortunately, it is not in the MCFLS.

Maybe this is a reason to get Netflix?

Borders bites the big one

Thanks to Elizabeth for sending me this link.

I spent a lot of time and a lot of money at that north side Borders in the good old days.

Bullitt

I have seen this movie several times, and I never get tired of it.

Steve McQueen is excellent as the no-nonsense police lieutenant.

Robert Vaughn is outstanding as the easy-to-hate politician.

Norman Fell and Simon Oakland are OK as bad and good police captains respectively.

A very young looking Robert Duvall has a cameo as a taxi driver.

Features one of the all-time great car chases.

Blackstar

Excellent idea but I am skeptical about the implementation.

Brian Jacques RIP

http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/articles/2011/02/09/20110209redwall-author-brian-jacques-dies.html?source=nletter-entertainment

One of my favorite authors.

It makes me want to go back and read all of his books again.

I saw him in person several years ago, and he was very charismatic.

Your Mom Hates This

I saw the TV trailer and it looks interesting.

The Long Walk

http://www.lvrj.com/blogs/booknook/The_Long_Walk_is_an_epic_journey_and_a_yardstick_to_measure_overselves_against.html

Reminds me of Last of the Breed by Louis Lamour.

Maybe Lamour got inspiration from this earlier book.
