      morning hunger

      January 19th, 2006 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

      currently eating: most of my lunch

      It’s 9:30am.

      I just finished my lunch of hard boiled eggs, a tuna sandwich, and fruit. There’s some cottage cheese and a yogurt in the fridge, but it’s unlikely those will last past 11.

      This happens far more regularly than I would like to admit. I can’t explain it, I usually get hit with hunger about two hours after breakfast. Today the hunger was a bit deeper than usual.

      Thankfully I have a stash of emergency food for just such occasions. So, it looks like the rest of today will include oatmeal, and a variety of canned goods.

      Does anyone else have morning, early afternoon excessive hunger issues? I rarely have problems in the afternoon or evening. If I can make it to 3:00 I’m golden until a late dinner. So strange.

      Killer Queen

      January 19th, 2006 by mike d. in Features

      Candy Land

      I’m sure all of you know of Candy Land. Candy Land is game determined completely by chance that helps children learn and recognize colors as well as learn the difference between helpful rainbow slides and that torturous Jolly Gum Drop card that would always hit you on the final run. I myself am most familiar with the 1985 version. I think this was the first version to feature Queen Frostine.

      I had a mini-crush on Queen Frostine, but really? Who didn’t! Not only was she holding a magical wand which could probably turn vegetables into candy, but she also had the Queen Frostine card, which, if chosen in the first few moments of the game could all but guarantee victory. She was cute too.

      2002 saw a major downfall in the Candy Land saga. Queen Frostine went from seductive and magical to bubbly and fake. But the worst is yet to come! In 2005, Candy Land came out with a new edition that doesn’t even feature queen frostine.

      Now it’s Princess Frostine. And she’s got gray hair and an unnaturally arched back.

      She\'s a Killer Queen

      I am genuinely disappointed with these so called improvements. Even Lord Licorice, who used to be vile and evil, is toned down. Let’s get our act in gear Hasbro! 2006 better bring Queen Frostine back with a vengeance.
