I wrote a few months back about how I was looking for a new hairstyle, one that didn’t make me feel so frumpy and, well, mother-ish. I joked about how I totally could not pull off what I called, “My-Little-Pony Rainbow vomit” hair and even made crappy little pictures as proof. Well, if you watched …

[VIDEO] What Is Active Combat?

Welcome to Mana Break, a new feature where I get in front of a video camera and babble on about MMO’s. This week  I thought I would have a crack at explaining how combat in games such as TERA and Neverwinter differs from World of Warcraft. If you enjoy the show, please don’t forget to …

My First Hand-Made Mothers Day Present

I hope all you beautiful mothers out there had a wonderful day! My Mothers Day was spent watching Willam’s Beatdown (NSFW!), trying not to feel guilty about my husband doing housework while I watched said trashy Youtube series, and then inevitably caving in to my own internal guilt and spending the rest of the day assembling my son’s …

Raising A Respectful Son

Yesterday we took Liam for a drive. He insisted on wearing his home-made “astronaut mask” which is just a paper plate with eye holes and a few buttons glued to it; a backpack to represent “jet packs”; and my ridiculous ugg boots with satin bows and butterflies all over them as “space boots”. I’m pretty …

Using Netvibes As A Google Reader Alternative

When I first heard that Google Reader was going the way of the Dodo on July 1, I was sad to see it go. While I don’t keep up to date with other blogs nearly as much as I would like to, I did love taking my tablet to a cozy spot and having a …

Will I Regret Playing Video Games When I Die?

There are three things in my life I regret right this second. I regret not finishing the house work sooner so I could sit outside in perfect weather and write, I regret that extra spoonful of sugar in my coffee this morning, and I regret drinking as much as I did at my husband’s formal …
