    “‘The time has come,’ the walrus said…’ The time has come, indeed. I’ve not had much luck thinking of a post these last few days, because my eyes have been on the prize, as they say. I’ve been blessed with a Saturday off from work again, and (now this is dedication, folks…) I have decided…

  • “The thrum of the Harley’s engine seemed to have settled deep in her bones, a physical counterpoint to the butterflies in her stomach–and, of course, the worst of it seemed emanate from her extremely sore and overheated ass.” “Resident Evil 3: City of the Dead” by S.D. Perry Once again, I’ve marked another Resident Evil…

  • ”         Taluin gave him a wan, indulgent smile. ‘That is how they are best known, yes. Such an act truly leads on to infamy. But they are also the First Six of Humankind, and they are also the Six Who Shall Return. It’s the latter part that concerns us so; it is a prophesy. And…

  • My apologies to the Twilight fans out there… Lately, I’ve been having a lot of trouble thinking of things to post about in this blog.
