Anchorman quiz from The Guardian
I managed to get six out of 10 which is pretty good for a movie I haven’t seen in a few years. A co-worker I know who loves the original nailed nine. See what you get here.
Cat slumber party because it’s cold!
I slept in for a couple reasons, it was Saturday and it was damned cold. When I woke up around 9 AM-ish, these four little fur balls were present. Normally Isis doesn’t sleep on the bed because she’s a bit of a … Continue reading
We lost Rumble in the Pub 2
On the upside, I had a good time and I was able to say farewell to a nice person who used to work in the Apple Cafe…he’s moving to Boston. The pasta station won’t be the same without Daniel. Sadly, … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Sonia, ma petite soeur!
The first friend I made in Austin celebrates! I think it’ll be in Basel where Sonia lives with her lovely family and then a belated time when she comes back to Houston for the annual get-together. I didn’t get to see … Continue reading

Pasta dish or buddy-cop movie title?
Can’t you imagine the latter idea? Patrolling the streets of New Orleans, out to take down Mr. Big, it’s the most unlikely duo…Short Rib & Bitter Greens.
1500 miles!
Today I hit another running milestone! Sure I have over 200 to go with getting to Apple HQ but the significance of this achievement means I am averaging over 500 miles/year. The next accomplishment I’m trying to pull off would … Continue reading
Rumble in the Pub II is set
Last night we coasted to a relatively easy first-place victory at Strange Brew, a venue that won’t be holding any more Sunday evening gatherings of Geeks Who Drink. It’s not really a big loss in my opinion, the place is … Continue reading
It’s December already?
Pictured for this month’s header is my maternal grandmother’s house circa 2012 according to Google Maps’s street view. It looks practically the same with a few exceptions. I don’t recall the tree out front, guessing upon its age, my mother … Continue reading
The Doctor materializes in Arlen
This print is way more than just a convention souvenir, especially if you live in Austin. Obviously, King of the Hill was set around Central Texas; you can encounter people with Hank’s accent and speech patterns all along the I-35 corridor from … Continue reading
Captain, I’m detecting 180 beats per minute…
…so we may be under attack by the Skrillex, Basement Jaxx, possibly Moby. I suggest we defend ourselves with some phat beats.
Stan Lee! ‘Nuff Said!
The awesomeness of our last weekend was capped off by a quick meeting with the person who is behind some major popular culture for the last 50 years. It wasn’t always this way but in the last 15-20 years, comic book … Continue reading
My favorite villainous organization
Venture Brothers’ fans know it and love it. For the uninitiated, the easiest explanation would be say the Guild is a villain union that makes sure its members follow the rules plus they have a great dental plan. If you … Continue reading
MechaPops v. Skipszilla!
I hunted down Austin Rogers again at the convention for another commission since his Regular Show mashup from last year rocked! I asked him and he willingly complied. This year all I requested was something involving Pops and Skips, the rest … Continue reading
