In My Own Words:
If you read my reviews you are going to find that my favorite type of book is history/autobiography. Its not that I want to really know what happened before its that I really like a good story. As they say truth is stranger than fiction. I do like science fiction and fantasy books as well as long as they are well written. Most of it (unfortunately) is unimaginative trash. I am a true nerd.

The Heretic of the North by Timothy Brommer
The Heretic of the North by Timothy Brommer
On the back cover Heretic of the North is described as Orius Candell's fight/quest to fight against a new threat to the world. This is true, but there is so much more going on in this story. In addition to Orius Candell there is Pendros the lechorous iron merchant, Tarik the royal messenger, Jurdana the high priestess, and Rodrigo the King. All of these 'supporting' characters are so well developed that they might as well be described as co-main characters.

The fantasy world that Brommer has developed is detailed, realistic, and complex. The above characters are interspersed throughout the world and it is interesting to watch as seemingly unrelated events start to effect each other.

Robotech: Battlecry by MEDIACTIVE
Robotech: Battlecry by MEDIACTIVE
This rating is for Robotech fans. Others might not like it as much. This game is addictive and very fun. Rented it first then HAD to buy it. Graphics are good and gameplay is both challenging and rewarding (you are going to love blasting stuff with your missiles and strafing with your chain gun). There is a learning curve so at first you will be frustrated (I mean there is three modes to learn for god sakes).

I would have changed a couple of things. Limited missiles would have enhanced the versus mode. Other than that, however, this is a good game.

NEW Yoga & Sculpting (DVD)
I'm your typical middle aged male recalling the great athletic younger days but noticing more than a little extra developing :). So my wife and I bought Yoga Sculpt and the Pilates DVD by Karen Voight. I'll discuss the good and the bad-

Good- Core Essentials lunge and squat workout. Just step aerobicky enough to make it interesting but nothing you men out there will be too humiliated to do. She gets those legs burning.

Yoga workout. Especially if done after Core Essential lunge workout it is quite challeging but doable by a beginner. I like it.

Voight is ripped! Especially in the lunge workout which seems to have been filmed years ago. Even to a man it is inspirational.

Bad - After… Read more
