My First Night Out

by LurbyJo on February 20, 2009

I took out the shiny new Falcon, Sand Vag: A Prequel (don’t ask, you probably don’t want to know), last night and it was everything I imagined and more!  I jammed every Falcon I ran up against, kept entire fleets we fought jammed, and generally made our opponents’ lives hell.  We even had the following [...]

Woo!

by LurbyJo on February 19, 2009

Today’s the day, folks.  My Falcon training is done!  I will fill you in on all the gory details …as soon as I have gory details to reveal.  But one thing’s for sure: I’m ready to Falcon YOUR EYES OUT!

Love Is In The Air!

by LurbyJo on February 15, 2009

Valentine’s Day has come and gone and it was a great one here at the Anderson home.  Gifts of my favourite type were exchanged: computer accessories and CANDY!  We’re off to see Underworld 3 and Coraline 3D now.  Yay!

English 98: That Floaty Comma

by LurbyJo on February 11, 2009

I‘ve been asked by a few people to do a quick post on apostrophes or as I’ve heard it put by kids at my son’s school, “that comma that floats up there at the top.”  *drags out her Remedial English soap box and hops on up* The apostrophe is one of the most misused punctuation [...]

My Friend, Mr. X

by LurbyJo on February 11, 2009

This is a post I wrote two days ago, hemmed and hawed over, and finally (with the help of you guys!) am posting now with names and details of the not-so-innocent changed. Hanging out in Old Man Star was pretty uneventful last night until I’d announced my intentions to log (doesn’t it always go that [...]

Mulling It Over

by LurbyJo on February 10, 2009

So I’ve been quiet for a bit longer than I meant to be.  I ran into the corporation of a fellow blogger and was really excited to share the story with everyone.  However, upon reflecting, I realized it showed a member of that blogger’s corp in a poor light.  I’m not sure about the protocol [...]

What about BoB?

by LurbyJo on February 5, 2009

I don’t really have much imput on this but the title was just too good to pass up.  Bill Murray with a goldfish hung ’round his neck?  Yes, please. One thing I will say is how much I love EVE for the nearly Hollywood-quality drama it provides.  This latest installment has got people likening the [...]

English 98: My Pet Peeve

by LurbyJo on February 2, 2009

It would seem many people feel the phrase and I cannot be overused and choosing it instead of and me helps them to appear both more educated and more eloquent.   This is absolutely incorrect.  When I was in elementary school (and I cry to think that this must not be taught any longer) I learned [...]
