RIP Burt Reynolds
Alas, here is my overdue obituary for Burt who was really the king of Action and Comedy-Action movies for my generation’s childhood. He still had quite a career in the decades following but the Seventies were when Burt was in … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Hank
This week my friends had to put their dog to sleep (he was getting on in years, illness) and although I’m a cat person, dogs make me nervous since I was bit in the ass by my own dog in … Continue reading
Modern Enemy Monthly featuring the Blue Morpho
I signed up for the subscription for this season of The Venture Brothers because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out on any OSI designs for Somara, she loves anything involving Brock. Above is another cover from the imaginary … Continue reading
17 years at the same house and place!
I totally spaced on the day we closed on the house last week and 17 years ago, September 4, 2001, a week before the shit storm solidifying Bush the Lesser’s reign of error. As for staying in place, I continue … Continue reading
Finally…My Life as a Teenage Robot on a shirt
Here is the title character Jenny (model XJ-9) from a short-lived yet awesome Nickelodeon cartoon created by Rob Renzetti. I loved it because of the retro Art Deco style (many hard angles) and the main plot point was Jenny striving … Continue reading
Forgive me, I share some of the responsibility on this one
A recent article in Mental Floss showed that the RIAA has updated its list regarding the best-selling albums of all time. For several decades it was Michael Jackson’s Thriller at over 25 million according to my memory. It stormed to the top … Continue reading
First Activity/Fitness badge for September 2018!
I’m taking a more aggressive stance or attempt or whatever with my exercising this month. The joint Activity application on my Watch and iPhone offered two challenges for September; exercise every day (which means, close both the move and exercise … Continue reading
Summer of ’18 is over part two
Another Summer bites the dust. I readily admit, I miss the way it used to be when I was a kid, teenager and college student. Being an adult with responsibility sucks. We do experience Summer in other ways but just … Continue reading
Two awful cartoons on Netflix, just avoid them
While there’s been a huge wave of disappointment over Groening’s new show for Netflix, I want to bring up a pair of cartoons which are much, much worse. Not as a way to raise Disenchantment‘s ratings by trashing others. No. I … Continue reading
Creative Brick Builder helps out in making another starfighter
This weekend, our favorite used Lego place had a sale. All the Lego bricks you can fit in a box for the great price of $3.99! As much as we love the (official) Lego Store way down at the Barton … Continue reading
My new Hello Kitty Chucks
Somara gave me the green light to buy these limited edition Chucks from Converse.com as a birthday present to myself. I should’ve acted faster since my size (US 11 Men) were already gone when I bought them; I can handle … Continue reading
Three Identical Strangers: Worth Seeing
This was my free movie from Alamo Drafthouse for 2018. It was worth the drive down to the South Lamar location. Anybody over forty-ish may remember the core story about these guys since they were all over the talk-show circuit in … Continue reading

Los Angeles Achieved!
After sleeping in the bulk of the week like a slug, I kicked off September by finishing my first exercise-bike goal, reaching the distance between my house and Los Angeles! According to my spreadsheet, I’m only 0.17 miles over the … Continue reading
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Worth Seeing
The last Marvel movie for 2018 and it had its work cut out given the monumental events from Infinity War. In short, Ant-Man 2 delivered. It was also the second part of my birthday double feature! We return to the misadventures of … Continue reading
RIP Neil Simon
Caught the news of his passing this Sunday on our way home from the movies. He’d been out of the spotlight for so long, I forgot he was even alive. Shame on me given his body of work I devoured … Continue reading
