Doing pretty good. My Active Circuits class is a bit intimidating but I made an 85% on my first section test which was 45 questions long so hopefully things will hold steady! My Programmable Controllers class and Circuits 2 class is a LOT of fun. Math 110 -.- we are on speaking terms but it knows it is annoying me lol

awww! lol I wasn't really rooting for a particular team.

I was too busy doing MATH 

But I was a bit disappointed by the commercials and I thought they would have done something BIGGER and BADDER for the half time considering this was their 50th...

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

Try getting her into fantasy football next year. My husband isn't into football much either (and neither am I) but he says he enjoys superbowl more now that he plays fantasy football with his friends... he's sorta forced to witness the teams struggles all season long

They even have games for money...

Did your wife have a favorite commercial?

an hour ago

chatWING

 

Michael Cummins

 

This is the first year in 5 that I haven't done fantasy football. We just do it through Yahoo

She liked the heinz with the wiener dogs

an hour ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

Yeah my husband prefers the yahoo one too! He is the commish for the one they do at his workplace (how he got wrangled into that I'll never figure out)

They tried the ESPN one one year and it was a flop lol

The heinz wiener dog one was a hoot... AFTER I sat there wondering "WHAT THE FLIP?"

lol

an hour ago

chatWING

 

Michael Cummins

 

LOL

I haven't tried the ESPN one. I played with the same group every year so we just stick with Yahoo

an hour ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

(you aren't missing anything... more confusion perhaps?) Speaking of "What the flip" Who was that artist that was first up during half time? And WHAT was up with all the rainbow flowers?

I was left wondering if I missed the symbolism somewhere...

Michael Cummins

 

Coldplay?

What song was he singing?

43 minutes ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

Blah... just checked out the rest of his songs on youtube... besides Viva la Vida most of his songs are rather slow paced... not very ROCKING PARTY ish.... which is what I was looking forward to at half time... Bruno stepped in and saved the day lol

Michael Cummins

 

I don't remember what song it was.

Yeah, I remember Bruno played Uptown Funk. Couldn't tell you what Beyonce sang

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

This would have been a better pick Coldplay! 

36 minutes ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

Uptown Funk was awesome lol... Beyonce was a bit confusing to me. I sat there through her entire performance marveling over how her lower back wasn't in extreme pain from that "twerking" she was doing... that takes some serious ab and lower back muscles! To practice it enough to be completely insync with her crew... Oh gosh that would KILL me!

34 minutes ago

chatWING

 

Michael Cummins

 

LOL yeah, I'd be dead too

34 minutes ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

The dance moves for Bruno and Beyonce's team were very very well in sync! That was awesome to watch... like the pros they are... left Coldplay out in the cold a bit I thought... his costumes didn't even work with theirs???!!!

Was there no pow wow ahead of time? (you know they had to do dress rehearsals in the stadium!)

33 minutes ago

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

On that note... Lady Gaga... ROCKED the Star Spangled banner I thought!!! VERY WELL DONE and VERY classy! I thought FOR SURE it was going to be a spectacle but no... Bravo!

Michael Cummins

 

Nope! Someone said "Didn't Coldplay get the memo? we wear patent leather on Sunday!" 

30 minutes ago

chatWING

 

Michael Cummins

 

Yeah Gaga surprised me in a good way.

28 minutes ago

chatWING

 

V.L. Jennings

 

(Admin)

ROFLMAO! Apparently he didn't get the memo or else was trying to "Stick it to da man" by raising his rainbow flowers to their black outfits?

Did you see the meme comparing her to Effie Trinket from Hunger Games though? I laughed so hard at that one!

One time I did... I think it was for the second or third one.... Oh it was the one with the quiditch match I believe -.O was that the one where Harry sees Ron's house for the first time? I wanted to see them throw the garden gnomes! lol

I was SO mad that the movies didn't stick to the book... For the rest I waited to re-read till after the movie came out and felt much better about them lol.

I want to get a copy with full color interior illustrations!

Mind Over All- Review

My Review of Mind Over All:

Honestly I am ashamed to say that I had finished this book a long time ago and just forgot to go back and review it! GAH! Anyway...

I unabashedly give this book a full 5 stars!!!

Its the third in a trilogy but the whole series is absolutely great! The characters come to life right off the page. I couldn't put it down! Filled with the magic and mystery that makes science fiction so awesome, Karina’s Mind Over All takes you from Earth right down into another planet. Deryl, the main character, is a psychic with abilities he doesn’t quite know how to use yet who has been enlisted to help save two worlds from certain destruction. In the meantime he tries to help his friend work out his problems with his fiance. I LOVE these books! They will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat!

I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for an awesome science fiction adventure!

I can't WAIT to read the Hearts Over Mind novella next!


Book Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1897492855


About the Book (from Amazon):

At long last, Deryl has it all.

He’s mastered his psychic abilities, escaped the asylum on Earth where he was being studied, and thwarted the alien Master who would have forged him into a weapon. He has gained a new home among the psychics of Kanaan and, with the coming birth of his son, a family as well.

But darkness still looms, as the enemy prepares to invade Deryl’s new homeworld. With planets set to collide, Deryl will have to accept his role as savior of both worlds, and push his mind’s powers to the limit in order to save those he loves.

I've also written reviews on the first two... Mind over Mind and Mind over Psyche
