Weekend Games, Clothing and a New Painter to Ponder

Game to Play for Android

Hills of Glory: 3D is a game for android phones and tablets that has been highly reviewed.  I plan to give it a try since I am interested in World War II and can afford to waste a little time.

Below is the trailer for the game:

New Clothing
Part of the deal I made with myself a little more than a year ago is that I will purchase a new article of team apparel each time a sports team I follow begins a season.  Now that the Padres have started their 2013 season, I pulled the trigger and purchased a black on black Padres cap.

New Artist
The Brooks Art Museum in Memphis, TN will be hosting an exhibit of Carol Coar's paintings starting at the beginning of June, 2013.  Click here to see for yourself.  I plan to brush up on my knowledge of this painter this weekend.  Below are some of the images she created, which captured my attention:

Here you can view more of the paintings of Carol Coar.

Updated on December 4, 2013: It has come to my attention that a black hat is a term used to connote an individual who is involved in illegal computer activities. I thought I was just posting a photo of a hat.  Opps.

Entertainment this Weekend

In this post I present some things that will keep me entertained this weekend. I also plan to:

Harvest the garlic I planted without wondering why it is that every time I mention that I am growing garlic people have to ask me about my ancestors as if only people from Transylvania grow garlic
Plant more seeds from the awesome seed packets I got for Christmas this year
Hike around Santa Cruz Island, the largest of the Channel Islands
Poke around an abandoned building (man, I want the NFL to come back)
Read a copy of the New York Times from cover to cover
Burn things (in a totally safe, controlled manner, I swear)

YouTube Round Up

Jokes and jokes and

Spaghetti, Spaghetti

The Internet is Filled with Boundless Entertainment
but, honestly, most of it is worthless junk.  I 've only started wading into the sea of content on the See Mike Draw site that brings us the following image and some of the humor is a little too disgusting even for me.  Still, the price is right so I've added this site to my RSS feed.  Enjoy, if you dare.

Video Games to Waste Time With

I enjoy a good point-and-click adventure game.  I realize that this type of game is far from being cutting edge and that most real gamers are probably turned off by this genre.  Still, I enjoy these games in my spare time.  Recently, I came across an adventure game with three episodes called Cover Front, which might keep me entertained this weekend.  I have only just scratched the surface of the third game in the series.  I plan to start playing the first episode this evening and see how long that holds my interest.  Here is the link to the first episode:

I think the whole PastelPortal.com site where the Cover Front series is located looks like it will be entertaining to check out.

According to the bio of the creator, his game The Submachines is the most popular of his point-and-click creations.

Also, I still have a fondness for Galaga, an arcade game that my Dad and I play every time we come across one of the big wooden towers.  Here is an online  version of the game, which, sadly, moves much faster than the arcade game and is therefore less enjoyable.  Here is another link, which I haven't tried yet.
