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.

The Beauty That Is Nature
Spring is here and it feels like it, but I've been up here many years to know not to put out my spring stuff as we still will get more snow. So that means I still have to wait a bit before planting my donut seeds. Spent sometime with Natalia out in the forest as she is very lucky to have this pretty much as her backyard. We did some walking out by Deep Creek, Lake Gregory and Keller Peak and I can tell you that she walks fast. Hopefully I have my future hiking and running partner. On my weekly trip to the local thrift store I found many younger faces "volunteering" and prices went up. I hope this is not a "group" taking over the shop and raising prices. They simply will shut down like the so many local shops here. Hopefully it was just for the weekend as the senior center still running the inside. But like many good things, they end up going away due to greediness.

Got my taxes finally done at a free tax place after I took them to HR Block for a quote and I have to pay less when prepared by the free place. Yes, I always pay. I did get some advice but I am sure my ex will not agree as she is very materialistic and when money is involved, evil comes out.
Still reading Wolves of the Calla (Darktower V) and it is moving at a decent pace. Was hoping to be farther along as I have a nice stack of books I want to read. I want to read Earthbound next and finish that trilogy as that should be a fast read. Also thinking of re-reading Leviathan Wakes but I was hoping to leave the space opera genre for my next big read. Picked up some Larry Niven/Jerry Pournelle classics this weekend. So many stories I want to read and not enough time. I did find a pretty nice used book store in Crestline.
Haven't played any video games in some time and eagerly awaiting the new Borderlands 2 DLC and character. Gears of War: Judgement is out now and Bioshock Infinite out by end of March. Bioshock is definitely a game I want to play. Been checking out the Day Z Mod game and looks pretty awesome. I came across this awesome action figure of Iron Man Patriot edition and would love to have this decorating my place. So feel free to get it for me.
Geek News - Robert Redford may be in the next Captain America movie as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He must be a fan because he is very picky on his roles. World War Z is coming in a few months and I know it is said the book is better, but the trailers are cool, The U.S. Navy is in it and Brad Pitt ('nuff said).
Below I posted the trailer for the new Riddick movie which looks pretty good.
