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.

Good Movie. Good Weather.

Got a little burst of hail on Thursday which made the roads slippery for a few hours. Natalia got to put on her new boots and play in the snow. Woke up to a dark cold Friday which was great.

"Final report of the vessel Prometheus. The ship and her entire crew are gone. If you're receiving this transmission, make no attempt to come to its point of origin. There is only death here now, and I'm leaving it behind. It is New Year's Day, the year of our Lord, 2094. My name is Elisabeth Shaw, last survivor of the Prometheus. And I am still searching". - Elizabeth Shaw

Finally sat down and watched Prometheus as Natalia went to sleep early. I must say I really liked this movie. Maybe because I'm a fan and love movies with a huge story line and like to see it slowly tied in. It answered some questions but left many more. Nowhere can I find anything else about Dr. Shaw after she went in search of the Engineers with David 8. Were the Engineers really going to destroy us? Are we a failed experiment? Is this the first "Alien"? What exactly is the black goo? David the cyborg a meaning to David from the Old Testament? Should Shaw have asked the questions to the Engineer? Are the Engineers Frankenstein or are humans? Where is Paradise? I even watched the deleted scenes and had hoped Ridley Scott would have had the Engineer talk as to get an answer but he left it to the next film. So much debate online over the proximity of LV223 (Leviticus 22:3?) and LV426 (Leviticus 4:26?) to each other and that maybe David 8 and Weyland knew of the distress signal before. Also check out this YouTube video of proof of "Engineers" skeletons unearthed. I did however run across this image which should have been left in the film to shed light on the Engineers.

Ridley Scott unofficial confirms a sequel to Prometheus with these words - "It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she's gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he's dangerous." - "They're going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?". Scott is also working on a sequel to Blade Runner.

Check out the David 8 from the Weyland Cybernetics. The new models are exceeding expectations and moving fast so pre-order soon.  Please check out the recall on the David 7 models.  Also check out the many cool products from Weyland Industries.

Gaming season is here as XCOM and Dishonored shipped and I await Assasin's Creed 3 and Halo 4 in the next few weeks. Gearbox also has announced its first DLC for Borderlands 2, Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate's Booty and I'm sure it will be fun.

Did you know that Punky Brewster's name is Penelope Brewster. Thought you all would want to know.
