I am Natalia's daddy! My latest happenings as well as my lil' girls happenings will be posted here as I live them.

I like to read science fiction, fantasy as well as classics and comics. Always looking for recommendations. Like to play video games and board games. Love to watch old movies and shows, as I find them relaxing and entertaining. Last but not least. like to feed the birds and do some gardening.

Proud to be a US Navy Corpsman veteran and part of the Southwest Region Funeral Honor Guard.

Thank You Taylor.

On the Olympic news. Taylor Phinney again takes a 4th place. This time in the time trial. Not a disappointment at all. I have hope he brings me back to being a fan again. It has been too many years and as long as he stays the way he is he will be a very exciting rider to watch. I know I am not alone.

Geek Alert - Had to share this figure. It is Victor Von Doom unmasked and wielding the Infinity Gauntlet. This is exactly what the next Avengers movie needs.

Finished reading Leviathan Wakes and found it entertaining. I will pick up Caliban's War and continue the story. Decided to read another of Andrew Mayne's Chronological Man's book, The Martian Emperor. A fast read and very much in the spirit of the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still. Mayne also takes liberties with historical people as characters in his stories which makes it exciting to read.

Picked up the movie Big Trail with John Wayne and he has one of the best outfits I have seen. Staying with movie news, Marvel announced the Ant Man movie due 2014. I think it will be good to see this story as he was missing on the initial Avengers movie, but as a stand alone movie? I will not doubt Marvel Studios. Not ending there, Judge Dredd is here again. Prepare to visit Mega City One and get to know Judge Dredd. I do hope this movie does the character justice.

Not many video games lately. I was in the mood this week for some Battlefield 3 action. Downloaded the new Close Quarters DLC and enjoying that. Mass Effect has also announced this week the new Leviathan DLC and it looks interesting.

On Sunday August 5th, at 10:31 PST, NASA will attempt to land Curiosity, a one-ton, six-wheel drive nuclear powered laboratory on the surface of Mars. >>
