I really don’t have much to say at this point, so I’m going to go with the KISS theory and just get going on the reviews. Have a great day!

It’s definitely NOT the Fourth of July, but I woke up to that song on the radio, so there you go. I actually did go to the park for a bit today, just to get a quick walk in before more snow falls and it’s impossible. Not too bad a day out there for this time of year, really. The band was great, and seemed to go over well with what crowd was there. Tonight I’ve got to work a hockey game, but then I’m done for another few days. Feast or famine, this industry. Anyway, on to today’s reviews…

Friday afternoon, and all is well, right? Should be…most everyone has a couple of days off and near as I can tell the weather isn’t supposed to be too horrible anywhere. I actually have plans for the weekend like a normal person again, which is weird. Tonight is the public debut of a band made up of several good musician friends of mine, so I’ll be there with bells on. With any luck at all, the general public will agree with me that they’re really pretty darn good. Hope y’all have a great weekend!

Not me, not even if you paid me to go AND paid for all my purchases. I would sooner chew my own arm off or volunteer to babysit quintuplets with colic before setting foot anywhere even remotely near a store today. If you chose to do so, then may all the powers that be grace you with their protection. Those people are nuts! Ah well. If nothing else, we’ve at least reached the last day of the workweek for those who weren’t having a holiday, and that can’t be a bad thing. Sit back and relax, and check out what I’ve got for you today.

I really need to start thinking of some more original titles, I guess. I’ll work on that for future posts, but right now it’s simply too hard. After a day of football and food with friends, I’m pretty much gathering up the last vestiges of what little brain power I have left to make this post. Hope y’all had a fantastic day, especially those of you who did not have the day off. On to the reviews!
