Where the heck is New Britain?

I decided to close the pocket doors in the foyer to help divide the house up while they continue to work on the ceiling in Tabitha's living room. Well, when the workers opened them back up today, one got closed all the way back into the wall. No big

Insurance War II: The Kitchen Theater (with Ice Cream)

John wonders why nobody goes to his house. Well, because when we do, the sky cracks open and unleashes all of nature's fury in the form of lighting, wind and rain. After a number of road blocks on Friday night, I was able to drop Dennis off at his

Just announced, the huge DVD megaset of Superman films, otherwise known as Zach's Christmas present from Kim (don't get me wrong, I like Zach and all, but two things, the price, and the fact that the boxset is standard DVD, not HD, more on that

Television is the Retina of the Mind's Eye

Soon, Tempest 2000 will have a companion as one of the greatest games ever made (it was reason enough to own an Atari Jaguar and the soundtrack was reason enough to own the Atari Jaguar CD system). I bring to you, Space Giraffes. Coming to the XBOX360

The results of all of Tabitha's hard work :P

Initially, I was wondering if I would be able to see all of Tabitha's hard work abroad in Thailand result in any changes here in America. Well, she's been over there almost a month, and already, I see results, and I like what I see :D Because

There was a showdown this weekend @ the Sprigler household. It was Tabitha, of Thailand study abroad fame, versus a Spartan from the HALO universe (not Master Chief, but close enough :) In a battle royale of screen real estate, who would win? Well, as
