That's why I was trying to get in for free. I'll fight traffic for a big event. I'll pay for the privilege to fight traffic... for fewer big events. Especially if it involves the Truman Sports Complex. It takes an hour to getting in and out for a well attended Royals game.

So, I applied for a press pass to cover World Cup games in Kansas City (and that would be a real stretch of the definition of "coverage," it is just a flimsy pretense for going.) And I'm pretty sure I've been denied (or at least no one has gotten a response to me.) My hat has remained in the...

Over the long weekend I watched one series on my backlog Crunchylist, and started another. AOKANA: Four Rhythm Across the Blue - Pretty standard sports anime with a sci-fi sport that is a cross between tag, a race, and Quidditch. If you've seen any sports anime, you'll see everything coming...

Yeah, I go back to it every couple of years or so. And my party, I generally can't leave Selphie behind. Her limit break is too devastating. Throw the other 2 on defend and just do over until you get 3 Aura. If Squall is in the party, that means the fight is over. No matter which fight it...

Well, a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe an extra hundred. It might have been around 150 or so. And it wasn't Omega Weapon, although I did defeat OW. I just hate not being over-leveled. So I get a new materia... time to grind it to the point where it can wipe encounters. Grinding levels for...

I had even played FF7 first, and still liked 8 better when I got my hands on it. For me it was just timing. I was hitting a particularly busy time in life and had very little time to game. My run through 7 had taken hundreds of hours, and I didn't have that kind of time to commit. And I love...

I think two of mine count. I watched Hard Target when it came out and thought Jean-Claude Van Damme's hair was so cool in that movie that I adopted the permed, super curly Tennessee mudflap as a style. Early 90's me thought that was rad. And of course it went well with the neon pinks and...

Yeah, there's a Mediterranean cafe down the street from my apartment, and the head chef goes all out. Dices together lamb and beef, forms it by hand on the skewers, and grills it over high heat to give it a decent sear. His kebabs are incredible. But sometimes, I'll go to the hole in a...

She probably wanted to show off a little... but there was more to it than that, and I'm dumb enough that I didn't pick up on it until years later. Looking back on it, she really liked doing some kind of fairly strenuous activity during a date. Walks/jogs, rollerblading, tennis, just going to...

Tennis is for me, is like golf. It is on the list of sports that I really love to play, but can't stand to watch. And they are also both on the list of sports that I played a decent amount... but never had any real skill with. Hmm, that's similar to my "skill" as a musician. Ouch, competent...

I saw this one too. Conceptually it is fine... save one thing. Hormel? Especially in small batches, a good Cincinnati style chili is very easy to prepare. And if you want it with sausage... just substitute some beef with sausage. And if that's too hard, melt a brick of Mannings and then add...

My playthrough of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night hit a bit of a stall at the Steam Spring sale. I picked up Pacific Drive on sale, and haven't been playing much else since. So far, I'm really enjoying it. In fact, I have no notes so far.

Yeah, I get that. New job has me on call all the time, running around from project to project and driving all over the county here (and sometimes all across the state) and haven't been checking in a lot. And NHL, as a Blackhawks fan, the selling at the trade deadline has made my interest more...

Absolutely that is the actual reason the movie ended right there. It just dovetailed well with the end of the film. And I think the reason I see the ending differently, I don't see it as a movie with "a message." To me it isn't a parable, it's a story. It doesn't (to me) exist to try and teach...

I always took it as more of a security issue. They made a point of mentioning that you shouldn't let anyone else know exactly how your totem works, never explain, don't let them handle it. Presumably because if they knew they could manipulate things if you were in their dream, to fool them...
