    The Age of Entitlement

    I believe there to be a difference here. There's a difference in wearing/dressing in a vintage style, and wearing a costume. It's how comfortable you feel in the clothes and how much it looks like a costume. If you act naturally, move naturally, and basically walk around like you...

    What's for Dinner?

    Dinner tonight is the same as last night - the leftover curry. Not complaining. It's good curry :)

    The Age of Entitlement

    The way things are going with clothes and fashion these days, I'd love to look like my grandpa.

    A really beautiful building, but nobody really cares about it.

    What's for Dinner?

    Curried beef with rice :) I love beef curry. But I hate the fact that it takes all day to cook the damn thing. Make the sauce, dice the beef, put the beef in the pot, and then cook the hell out of it for nine hours or some obscenely long time. There are instances where we've cooked curried...

    I have not yet tried LAN. I would like to, one day.

    Video games based in the golden era

    The original Mafia runs from 1930-1938. It's a pretty good game. Much better than the sequel, as most originals tend to be. I think you'll enjoy it.

    Video games based in the golden era

    I mean, I give them credit. M2 was very innovative in a number of ways, and certainly very creative. But I found the story, replay-ability, and general gameplay to be quite a drag. In the original game, you can replay SECTIONS of missions if you screw up. In M2, if you screw up, you have to...

    Video games based in the golden era

    I found Mafia II boring after a while. My comments about that game are basically as follows: - What it does well, it does really well. - What it doesn't do well, it completely fails at doing. That's just about it. Over 10 years later, I'm STILL playing the ORIGINAL Mafia game that came...

    Bumped into MikeBravo while he was out on the town today. *tips hat* I bought myself a cute little Singer sewing-machine, which I'm currently restoring. Before-and-after photos coming soon. Photographs: This is a Singer Model 20 sewing-machine from the 1950s. Manufactured from 1910-1970...

    Vintage Doctor's Scale - What Value?

    Thanks. I also reckon it's a good deal, but dad's dad...*sigh* I told him that I'd be happy to clean the scale for him. But...well. We'll see.

    Vintage Doctor's Scale - What Value?

    Hey Guys, Long story short, my father spotted something at an antiques shop that he would like to buy. But him, being the cautious purchaser that he is, refuses to put down any money on it unless he thinks he's getting a good deal on it. So here's what I want to know... The item in...

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    Aah yeah, I remember that. I confess to doing that. But I've since got my hands on some proper outlet-boards, so that the load is more evenly-spread.

    Everything looks stunning, Louis. You remind me of my grandmother like that. She had a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, too. Never figured out what happened to them, though. She only wore them on special occasions. Here's the latest photo of my desk, which I've posted here and there...

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    I think that's an excellent idea. It'd be like a sort of reference-thread with directions on how to do certain things the "old fashioned way".

    Helicopter Parenting Raises Dependent Children

    Dad found a good nursing-home for gran. But gran was a long, long, LONG liver. She was at the home for...I think something like 8 or 9 years. She didn't finally kick the bucket until she was 97!! I loved gran very much. She told me a lot of things that got me interested in the Golden Era. But...

    Helicopter Parenting Raises Dependent Children

    Yeah I've heard of that one. When it got too dangerous for gran to live at home 'cause of her Alzheimers, dad moved her to a nursing-home in the next suburb. It was a nice place, but gran was living there nearly ten years. It was quite a stretch.
