Easily Distracted

I am so horrible at keeping up with this blog! I tend to get easily distracted, as you can tell from this title. I started working on a couple of things to put on here, but life got in the way.
I went on vacation twice, had to help with personal family issues, and generally got busy reading as well as browsing ebay for new things to buy. I didn't know I wanted so many things till I found a place that sells everything one could possibly want!
I've also spent a grate deal of time playing an audio game called Manamon. It is what it sounds like, a game in the style of Pokemon. I never thought I'd like something like that, but it's so cool! It has neat sound effects, wonderful music, and each creature has it's own unique voice. The story lines are complicated, and full of twists and turns. There are two games and the second one is nearly three times as long as the first!
I love exploring new things and an open world role playing game is exactly the way for me to go. In fact, there are many games out there that I wish I could play! Unfortunately, they are only for the sighted.
A new game called Boulders Gate is coming out within the next two years for the PS5 and I'm hoping to be able to play it. The PS5 is supposed to have accessibility features for the blind and my hope is that the game will too! I told my husband that if it does, he probably won't see me for a month
I currently just finished a series of books called Ghost Finders. It was done in Graphic audio. It's a type of audiobook, complete with music, sound effects, and multiple voice actors. They are really neat and mainly geared, in the beginning at least, toward truck drivers, to keep them from falling asleep during long hauls.
The premise of the series is a trio of corky people who find ghosts and lay them to rest. It's not as easy as it sounds. Not all of them are willing to go quietly. They also deal with otherworldly entities. They start out as a not very recognized B-team to a renowned A-team. It's filled with equal parts humor and creepy. It also has a little romance thrown in for good measure.
My husband and I also finished a graphic audio series called Cemetery Girl. It's about a girl who wakes up in a cemetery with no memory of who she is or how she got there. It's really haunting and you're not really sure where it's all going to lead. Things get suddenly more complicated when in each book, she gets inhabited by the spirits of three differently murdered people.
I'm not sure what I'm going to read next, but knowing me, I'll find something. I have more books than I know what to do with! It'll take me years to finish them all, and I keep getting more all the time.

I'll try to do better with the blog in the future. Hopefully, four months won't go by before I remember to write again. :)

What Thuy Trang and Trini Mean To Me

     Growing up in the nineties was interesting for many reasons. Cell phones were being introduced, computers were slowly becoming more popular, and freestyle music was hitting its peak. For kids all across America that had a television, a much bigger event was taking place.      Mighty Morphin Power Rangers exploded onto our TV screens. It was new, full of action, had awesome rock music, and five teenagers who could turn into superheroes. There was a color and a personality that represented each child's hero or heroine.      For a large number of people it was green, when he finally arrived on the scene. Others chose white, when he came later, though I personally suspect, had more to do with the fact that mostly everyone liked Jason David Frank who played them both, rather than the change in color. Still others preferred red, while many went for blue and black. A lot of girls loved pink. Most guys loved her too, but I tend to believe it was because they thought Amy Jo Johnson was

Yea! I'm Not Insane, But I Blame My Husband

     If you've stumbled across this website and looked at the overall title of this blog, you've probably already guessed, I'm blind, have been since birth. I'll write more on that later. For now, I want to talk about something that interests me very much. It'll explain the title of this first post.      I guess it's true what they say, some people just never stop playing with toys. I happen to be one of them. I would however like to say that this resurgence into collecting is all my husband's fault! As a child, I played with baby dolls. Not your standard, use your own imagination, and they'll do or say anything you like. Not barbies that you had to dress and create fantastic hair styles for and pretend they went out with only the most sophisticated guys. For me, all of those were as boring as it got. No, all my dolls had to make some kind of noise, whether it was crying or talking, laughing or sneezing!      Yes, I once owned a doll that sneezed and cou

The Boy Who Lived

So much for writing more frequently! Ah, well. I got busy watching things and couldn't think of a topic I wanted to talk about. This post will be another short one. In fact, my next few posts will be short, at least until I can get used to writing on here more often. I wanted to briefly touch on a favorite book series of mine that I didn't get into until it was almost over. The series, if you couldn't tell from the title of this post, is called Harry Potter. Most of you will probably have heard of it, not least because of the films that were made of it. In any case, it's such a good read. The further you go in the books, the darker it gets. It's about a boy who discovers he's a wizard and has to go to school to learn to use magic. He has many trials throughout his stay at Hogwarts, because he's mostly to curious for his own good. He learns allot of valuable lessons along the way though. He goes from being an innocent boy who knows nothing about his past to a
