Happy (belated) birthday to fellow Leo Kate!

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Steve

All these belated stories I’m trying to dig out over, namely the stuff I let slide while celebrating my own birthday. Yeah, I’m rather selfish after 45 years aren’t I? Kate gets a special mention due to her birthday being … Continue reading →

Adam Ant at the Belmont

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Steve

To kick off our anniversary and my birthday weekend, we checked out Adam Ant again. This time at the relatively new Austin venue the Belmont. It’s alright. I need to attend a few more shows to have an informed opinion. … Continue reading →

RIP Michael Ansara

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Steve

The final actor from the Klingon Commander triumvirate of Star Trek has passed away. Michael’s Kang was my favorite because he played an enemy who wasn’t a two-dimensional cartoon character and was wise enough to see the advantage in siding with Kirk against … Continue reading →

I hate it when they don’t shave!

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Steve

Whoops! Wrong reference but this is still guaranteed to give small children nightmares, confusion or both! The title from Busted Tees is amusing too…Bloodsugar Rush.

We don’t do babies…duh!

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Steve

Everbody’s favorite sociopathic receptionist and heiress has received her due as a shirt from the awesome illustrator Megan Lara. Cheryl gets a special place in the hearts of all Austinites since she corrects Kreiger’s answer to what is the capital of … Continue reading →

RIP Eileen Brennan

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Steve

It was a shame to hear the actress passed away earlier this week. Eileen brought me numerous funny memories as a kid even though I probably shouldn’t have been watching a good chunk of the movies she did until I … Continue reading →

This month’s banner was tight

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Steve

August is a special month in so many ways but I had to err on the side of my geeky past by reminiscing over Gen Con for multiple reasons. A new book telling the history of D&D is due out … Continue reading →

2003: Ten Years of Marriage (plus a few days)

Posted on July 31, 2013 by Steve

Saturday was an extremely busy, busy day for the two of us. Not quite the crazy one we experienced a decade earlier…Somara and her parents didn’t have a fender bender with an uninsured driver. We got up early to take … Continue reading →

It was a nice several days off to celebrate our 10th anniversary and my 45th birthday. I have a ton of posts to put up. I jointly decided to take it easy along with the errands I had to get completed. … Continue reading →

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Steve

My fellow Leo and friend of the last 20 years via Dynamic Graphics celebrated this Saturday. We even got to talk on the phone for a little bit! This year I managed to keep up the lion-themed gifts with some … Continue reading →

Good news about two of our cats

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Steve

I closed the poll several days ago since the traffic had mostly evaporated and Isis seemed to be the clear winner. Even with just a 50% vote, there were enough implied votes for the name despite those people not getting … Continue reading →

Happy 73rd Birthday Bugs Bunny

Posted on July 27, 2013 by Steve

Bugs hides his age well because he has always had gray hair! It’s great to see Bugs and the gang having new adventures on TV even if you need cable to see them, CN hasn’t assembled a proper DVD set for The … Continue reading →

The Homer is a reality!

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Steve

Somebody built the car Homer designed and destroyed his half-brother’s business with! It’s a pretty approximation from what I remember of the episode. There’s a movie of the vehicle doing donuts too. Mmm…do-nuts. Next thing up for the car is … Continue reading →

2003: Ten years ago was a long, long flight to Las Vegas

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Steve

I re-read what I posted five years ago and I would stand by most of it. These days I am definitely re-experiencing the fatigue of that great day. I could use a nap since I have difficulty sleeping in. I … Continue reading →

R.I.P.D.: Don’t Bother

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Steve

Short version…this movie was made 16 years ago, was equally crappy and called Men in Black. The twist? These heroes hunt malevolent dead spirits instead of aliens. Not very original there neither, SyFy when it was SciFi had something similar called G v. … Continue reading →
