Tooth Fairy Visit

Natalia's tooth finally fell off and I was starting to worry. She did not get scared at all and is very happy. She is showing everyone her new smile and it is very pretty. The Tooth Fairy made a visit to our house Friday night and left Natalia a little gift here and at her grandparents house. This coming weekend will be me and Yuli as I am not lucky enough to have Natalia with me.

I will say this past weekend has been a weekend of huge change for me again and lessons learned. I probably move on again in another chapter and walk into it with no solid plans and you may say limbo. Or perhaps things continue the same with some minor changes either way not sure. Never have wanted this feeling of uncertainty but I feel once we can overcome this feeling we become much stronger inside.

Finally a turn in the weather with lower temperatures and some rain last week and the cooler temperatures sticking around for a while. Spring like temperatures are here and my tulips all over the house are starting to come up.

Finished reading Faust and now decided to read The Revolutionary Paul Revere next. Been reading a bit of comics lately and finished the whole Rogue Trooper Volume 1 and really enjoyed it. This week I picked up the new reboot of Power Man and Iron Fist as well as the new Bill And Ted Go To Hell mini series #1. Also looking to start reading Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Dark Knight III Master Race is the new series and I have very high hopes for this new series. First volume and already looking forward to the next one. I will say, all my new reads I will follow and hope for a good stories.

Rant: Why is the president of the United States in talk shows promoting and doing ads in a sense? This should be unacceptable and illegal. We already know our government s for sale, but please don't throw it on our face. Do your job and honor its position.

Check out Kilian Jornet's new Summits Of My Life trailer. Simply amazing and inspiring.

Out With The Girls

Natalia and I spent 4 great days together in another warm week up here with maybe some rain late this week. Spring like temperatures have me already looking in the gardening departments. I know I better wait as we still have more winter left. This Friday Natalia and I hit up some shops and I wanted to make her a blanket and she wouldn't budge on the Star Wars Darth Vader design. So I made her the blanket Saturday afternoon. Also Natalia wanted to go out for a walk with Yuli and who can say no to that? Off we went on a nice quiet walk in the woods. Overall a quiet lazy weekend at home cooking on my new electric smoker and trying to nurse a cold.

Been reading a few graphic novels and as I knew, I may be getting hooked in reading Sandman Vol 1. Also been reading some Judge Dredd titles as well as Rogue Trooper Tales of Nu-Earth Vol 1. Read Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens Vs. Predator and I will say I was not disappointed. How is this not a movie yet? (I know licensing rights). This week picked up Black Jack Ketchum and Old Man Logan at the comic book store. No more picking up the many super hero titles with bad story lines if any at all. As far as books. As far as classic comic book reads, this week I read Fantastic Four #50. I will say the run from 45-50 is probably one of the best in comic books. I have been slowly reading Faust by Goethe. A challenging book for me but one I think I have to read a few times over the years.

This weekend I played a few games of the Rogue Trooper game to learn it and I do like this game. Now I have my eyes out on other older games like Judge Dredd. Not any other games played this weekend other than a bit of Disney Infinity with Natalia.

Rant - Been awhile and this one very short. Is it just me that when I go through a drive-thru to get some food the car in front of me takes forever? What's the problem? Huge order? Can't find money? Take your ass inside for that.

On A Reading Kick

Natalia with me a few days this weekend and still her tooth has not fallen. Maybe this coming week. She has been a little sick but nothing major. Only games played this week was Scrabble Junior with Natalia and my mom and I like this game as it helps Natalia read words, spelling and combining letters to make words. Also today I am trying out my new electric smoker and hope it works out as it requires less work to maintain during the winter months. As far as weather up here, it has warmed up a bit and no new storms expected in at least a week.

This week I got no running in or been to the climbing gym. I did however read 3 books this past week. Read Little House on the Prairie and as like the first one n the series this follows the Ingalls journey out west and always find such reading relaxing. Next I picked up Candide by Voltaire from my collections of classic books and also found this title entertaining and an insight at the times then. Last I picked up Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut at a thrift store and quickly read it. Vonnegut does have some books I like while others are bland for me. This one was rather bland but also an insight of the times it was based on. My current book, I am re reading The Man in the High Castle.

"What can be more absurd than choosing to carry a burden that one really wants to throw to the ground? To detest, and yet to strive to preserve our existence? To caress the serpent that devours us and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?"

- Voltaire

As far as comic books, I continue reading Howard the Duck as well as The Death Defying Doctor Mirage. I have added Mystery Girl to my normal reads to see how the story develops. As far as classic comic books I read Fantastic Four #49 which introduces Galactus. This few issues have brought us so much used in the future universe.  This week I am expecting a few graphic novels I picked up used. I am waiting for Rogue Trooper, more Judge Dredd titles and I am jumping in with Sandman Volume 1. I have high hopes for all these.
