Writ Large came to an end
Last year or in 2020, I think I stumbled upon Writ Large via the Onion‘s AV Club which I no longer bother with thanks to the shitty Gawker owners (yet they don’t own nor operate the new version of Gawker) using underhanded tactics to screw … Continue reading
RIP Julee Cruise
Very sad to see the news today and especially how Julie was suffering from lupus, so she was in serious pain. I read this tribute to her via the The Guardian to discover what a career Julee did beyond Twin Peaks which … Continue reading
Cool eco pencil
When I first received one of these pencils, my initial response was, great, there’s no eraser, thanks…I guess. Then this really nice person handing out treats gave me a couple more and explained why these pencils were cool and special. … Continue reading
RIP Dave Smith (Synth Guy)
Dang it, too many nice people dying lately but what Dave did just cannot be ignored by me and all who love music. He was a former Electrical Engineering and Computer Science student from UC-Berkeley who got his hands on … Continue reading

That explains the burning smell…
Originally I thought it was another remnant of Jennifer’s pancake incident but when I heard the popping noises from the master bathroom, I quickly realized how dumb I was. The 20-year-old fan setup in there had reached the end of … Continue reading
RIP Jim Seals
He sadly passed away Monday at 80 which is a pretty good run and for me he left behind a great legacy by helping define Soft Rock in the Seventies. Sure you could poo on that but hear me out … Continue reading
Racist, horoscope-dependent, blowjob queen gets stamp
Obviously, I’m writing about one of the worst First Ladies in History…Nancy Reagan. I forgot to mention, she was also co-president with her astrologer since St. Reagan already went into the job with alzheimer’s. I’m just curious, who the hell … Continue reading
Gave up on Beats, got AirPods this weekend
This week was the final straw with my third pair of Beats. It started off a crack in the plastics around the left headphone. So pissed. Not sure what caused it. Probably dropped to “hard.” Then something went amiss with … Continue reading
1942: The Battle of Midway begins
Eighty years ago, the Imperial Japanese Navy took the bait and advanced to attack the US outpost on Midway. With the Allies’ (the Aussies chipped in) success at sinking four enemy carriers, the outcome of WWII was now set into … Continue reading
The GOP Solution to make schools “safe”
This picture illustrates the solution the GOP is proposing since we know what their true answer is, “You all need to stop bitching and live with all these ridiculous measures because our base’s insecurities and ammosexuality is more important than … Continue reading
One “advantage” of campus work
I’ve been working on campus so much these last two weeks that I have been spared the struggles of balancing certain cats demanding attention while I’m working and co-workers avoiding unwanted cameos. The foster kittens were also going through the … Continue reading
The Fosters (Spring 22) are off to their Forever Homes
The day was coming and thankfully we received the e-mail from the Austin Humane Society as we were thinking, it’s time for these four-legged rugrats to be moving on, they don’t need their mama anymore…and they’re getting pretty destructive with … Continue reading
Hello June ’22 via Castle Amber!
Allegedly Stranger Things is using more D&D villains in the current season so I decided to go with an adventure that I have fond memories of…Castle Amber because I picked up the new 5E conversion at Chupacabrcon. Back in the Summer of … Continue reading
Another good doctor visit and discussion about CBD
My sanity wasn’t exactly in question lately although I have been feeling angrier and more irritable. I blame it on how the GOP and Dems continue to be fucking useless as the world burns. Either way, we had a productive … Continue reading
Reason number 162 on why Alamo Drafthouse rules!
Well, people dressing up as movie characters at the same movie isn’t terribly new but only Austinites would bother for Bob’s Burgers given how much support we residents and Alamo Drafthouse have provided! It was cool to see these people as … Continue reading
