Tooth & Arrows: Still Kicking
With all my WoW blogs, you’d think I don’t play anything else. But that’s not true – I play many other games. WoW just tends to be the only thing in which anything interesting enough to blog about happens. However, that changed today. I was playing Hunting Unlimited 2009, my usual “play me for five seconds to calm down” hunting game. I chose to go after a group of Bison.

Certainly over a certain age, pretty much everyone knows this song. It’s “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”, by Rupert Holmes, circa 1979 or so. And oddly enough, it is the topic of my blog today. Bear with me through possibly one of the most random TAE blogs so far. I ran out to do some errands this afternoon. One of the things I love about my 1994 Jeep Cherokee is the awesome stereo my parents had installed in it before my dad gave it to me about a year ago. And I love using it. I flip through stations, any time a station goes to commercial, I move on. I...
