“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

So much for that weekend, then. It came, it went, it sucked – at least, it did where I was, because it was cold, foggy, wet, and just plain… disgusting. The worst part, of course, was that it was just a taster for the worst day of the week – MONDAY....

I saw a satirical picture earlier this morning, which said that the Duma had proposed to change the names of the days of the week. Rather appropriate, instead of Monday through Friday, the joke was that the Russian government wants to name the days, “Denial, Anger,...

It is, of course, Monday, and that really sucks, especially if you had my kind of weekend. I won’t go into details, but involved a major argument that kept me out of the gym on a Sunday night. And that just pissed me off, because iron is a man’s best friend – or...

It most definitely is not summer anymore – in either hemisphere, as it happens. If you are in the northern hemisphere, this is the time when all the pumpkin spice crazies (almost all of them female, the remainder sackless soyboys) come crawling out of the woodwork. If...

The weekend that just passed, was not fun, or easy. Charlie Kirk’s assassination cast a dark and terrible pall over everything. As I wrote after it happened, many of us had a very clear sense that something fundamental had snapped in the West, and there was simply no...

We are finally back up and running after a long, LONG hiatus – two weeks went by pretty damned fast, and I have to say, I feel quite good after my recent trip to Mordor. It was not without its troubles and difficulties – any trip to that part of the world, these days,...

Well, the weekend was fun while it lasted – which really was not very long, or so it seems to me. On the plus side, I did manage to finish HALO Infinite, and I have to say, it is EASILY the best game in the series since HALO 3. (Which, admittedly, is not exactly...

Here we go again. Monday is back, after an all-too-short weekend. In my case, I spent it quite happily blasting apart things on HALO Infinite – which genuinely is the best game in the series since H3. But one can only do that for so long before one needs to...

Well, Monday just dropped like the unwelcome present it truly is, into all our lives, after what I hope for most of you was a quiet and restful weekend. It certainly was for me – though I spent FAR more time than I should have, playing HALO Infinite. It really...

Well, there went another weekend, way too bloody fast. If you are anything like me, you probably spent at least one day of it completely vegetating, passed out on the couch (or, in my case, playing HALO Infinite for three hours and THEN taking a nap – or trying...
