The overdue explanation for the June ’23 Header: Part Two
Today, I will pick up where I left off with novel number two… The Mercenary by Jerry Pournelle was initially deceptive thanks to its Boris Vallejo cover. Yet it became the novel to aid my understanding of Traveller by teaching … Continue reading
Even I have no idea what ‘woke’ exactly means, nor do I care
I’m late to the party on mocking the GOP dipshits, especially Meatball Ron, for attacking what they think is ‘woke’ or ‘socialist’ culture. The headline says I don’t know the meaning but I’m really saying, the literal one. In the … Continue reading
The overdue explanation for the June ’23 Header: Part One
Yikes! June is almost over and I need to explain why this month’s header is three random paperback Sci-Fi novels! Forty years ago, a co-worker gave these to my Dad who then gave them to me. I figure the co-worker … Continue reading
1978: Gay Pride (rainbow) flag adopted
Now I know why June is Pride Month! On this day 45 years ago, the well-known flag with all the cool, bright colors was selected to represent Gay Rights. Over the years it has been expanded to encompass others but … Continue reading
Catsitting! June 2023 edition
While my good friend Marian (I was misspelling it with an ‘o’ all this time!) is off on an important trip, I’m tag-teaming on making sure her animals are all OK. This is the only cat who socially interacts with … Continue reading
Rest In Peace Daniel Ellsberg
Since I have a degree in Communications, Mr. Ellsberg is a name who was often near the front of my brain. Same for my ex-roomie/good friend Paul with his Journalism. This man was the primary reason why Amerika’s Military-Industrial Complex … Continue reading
Nibblonian spotting
Spotted this sticker on a car the night I dropped off the foster cats. I would like to think that Nibbler and his race are good creatures who wouldn’t eat innocent felines who have nothing to do with Thubian-9’s plans. … Continue reading
Rot in Hell Silvio Berlusconi
He was the warning shot the rest of the West ignored, probably due to most Limo Liberals in Amerika thinking, “Oh Dubious Bush will be the worst it ever gets. The Republicans are not unreasonable.” HA! To give you a … Continue reading
Moonraker by Ian Fleming
Twenty-five years ago, I read my first James Bond novel but it was not written by Ian Fleming, it was Raymond Benson, the former Prez of the US fan club. He did a great job too. His Zero Minus Ten … Continue reading
RIP Treat Williams
I know he passed away in a motorcycle accident last week but given what a heavy week was last week, I put him off with some others out of respect for our four-legged fuzzballs, still missing them. Treat was a … Continue reading

I’d play this video game
Great shirt worn by a nice lady at my nearby HEB! She said Tim himself saw it and loved it at a convention. Let’s see if I can name all 10 movies to choose without looking them up on imdb.com, … Continue reading
Watch out! Austin-based tarantulas are trying to score!
In my 30 years of living in Austin, I have only seen tarantulas twice in the open. Once in late 1998 while it was trying to cross the street at this house I was renting a room in and then … Continue reading
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Must See
Before he hopefully fixes most of DC’s problems, James Gunn closes out his magic with Marvel’s D-List heroes…The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3! We all know this is it for the cast’s majority since nobody wants to be in … Continue reading
Intersect
Inter-suck is what this huge disappointment should be called. Here I was thinking, this should be decent because HP Lovecraft’s infamous Miskatonic University is the nexus for the story. Nope. From the stiff acting the two leads provided I was … Continue reading
