K, so apparently I haven’t updated the blog since September ’08, and I apologize to any ACTUAL people who wanted to read something regularly from me. So here’s what’s happened since then…

Braeburn apples

Stuff No Comments

I just recently found that certain kinds of apples can reduce the effects of acid reflux and general heartburn. After much searching I found that it’s the “cultivar” known as braeburn. It’s sweet and tart; that probably helps, and I also read somewhere it has a particular level of acidity that for some reason soothes your stomach. It looks a LOT like a gala apple, so make sure when you want a braeburn apple you pay attention. Braeburns are supposedly only in season from October to April up here, but it’s September and apparently out of 6 or 7 markets I’ve checked, only ONE has them – Whole Foods. At $2.99/lb. Go fig.

[REVIEW] The Black Mages – Darkness and Starlight (2008)

Reviews No Comments

The much awaited third album from what may be the most legendary video game band of all time, The Black Mages – Darkness and Starlight turns out not to be my cup of tea. While half the album remixes some of my favorite Final Fantasy songs, I’m not quite a fan of these particular remixes and the other half is pretty much “meh” for me. Read the rest…

[REVIEW] The Black Mages – The Skies Above (2004)

Reviews No Comments

The sequel to what I consider an overall excellent video game album, The Black Mages – The Skies Above continues what The Black Mages started. I know it’s a few years old, but since it’s on my PMP, I consider it review worthy (even if only to pad the blog). Read the rest…

[REVIEW] The Black Mages – The Black Mages (2003)

Reviews No Comments

It may be a few years old, but The Black Mages still rocks my box even five years later. Since it’s on my PMP (iPod 5G Video 30 GB), I consider it review worthy (even if only to pad the blog). Read the rest…

[REVIEW] Final Fantasy XII (PS2)

Reviews No Comments

After letting it sit for about five months, I finally turned on FF12 again so I could defeat the last boss to watch the end sequence at least once. The only reason I didn’t five months ago was because, when it comes to Final Fantasy, I’m generally of the completist mindset, and there still remains the two non-endboss ultimate boss charas – the elite mark Yiazmat (~50 million HP according to the BradyGames strategy guide), and…Omega. Always Omega. Read the rest…

Trying out a new theme…

Stuff No Comments

Just set theme to freshblue idea. I’m gonna see how it goes and little by little will customize it. If I do it right, I might be able to combine elements of freshblue w/eye-candy for a pretty decent looking theme…

Yea, it’s a blog.

Yes, I’m putting a blog on my site. Hopefully it’ll actually be useful for me to organize thoughts and whatnot. I’ll likely use it for reviews and such. Let’s see where it goes…
