Black coffee since the blues caught my eye…
Okay, I was all set to jump right into the post today and then I looked up and noticed the coffee pot is empty. Glancing up at the top shelf on the rack revealed that the coffee jars were empty.
I have no coffee…I am not sure there is even a point in continuing but I will at least try.
The rare few times I could pry Kahuna away from the Xbox I played Skyrim over the weekend. I am working on a review for GamingHUD but have a few things to share here. It is an awesome game, but it hasn’t captured my interest or imagination the way Oblivion or Dragon Age:Origins did. I am hopeful that as I get deeper into the story this will change but for now, Skyrim is not the shiny I expected.
It is also possible I am just too distracted to focus on the game. I made the closed beta for DragonSoul and have played it on and off this weekend as well. Check out the new trailer for DragonSoul over on GamingHUD.
I also have multiple album releases I am attempting to find time to listen and review. The Coronas released Closer to You on friday, I picked up Keep Your Devils Around from the American Scarecrows, Eve Selis just released her new album…and the list goes on and on.
I am also watching Dragon Age:Redemption. It is a live action adaption of Dragon Age, and as it doesn’t follow the lore all that closely I am assuming it is an AU. The Templar is okay. They don’t usually hunt alone so I am hoping this will be a plot point and not another instance of tossing out game lore for story effect. Seriously, the blood marks (tattoos) on the Dalish are so small you can barely see them, the keeper apprentice doesn’t have his yet which effectively makes him a kid in their culture…Day’s character is a -female- fighting for the Qunari, which…NO, just…NO. I am at episode four and waiting for one more to decide if I want to continue. It isn’t all bad, but isn’t close enough to Dragon Age to deserve the title.
Okay, I must undertake a quest for coffee. And possibly lunch as well.

I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...]
Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...]
So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...]
