Force Awakens tickets redux
Here’s why it pays to check your credit card statements online every couple of days. I found a $66 charge from Alamo Drafthouse I didn’t recognize, so I called to ask them. I probably figured I would need to speak … Continue reading
We did get our Force Awakens tickets…finally
Yeah, I wasted three hours Monday night contributing to all those server crashes on Alamo, trying to get anything. A couple times, I was close but I’d get really close and the site would time out. I swallowed my annoyance … Continue reading
Why vote for the lesser evils?
Unlike Trump, Palpatine doesn’t need to explain how his new policies are going to work to Wolf Blitzer and the numerous, vitriolic Barbie dolls from Faux News. He also dissolved the Senate, I’m confident he’ll “get things done” by dissolving Congress … Continue reading
Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig
The Force Friday book release and my vacation reading goal/treat! For two years running, I have finished a whole book while on vacation! Last year was Devil in a Blue Dress and I’m stoked about next year. Aftermath is the official novel … Continue reading
Star Wars Rebels: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller
Thanks to Disney XD pushing back season two of Rebels to October after the big tease “Siege of Lothal,” I scored this novel to scratch the itch and whenever The Martian was boring me. Oh and to keep me from jonsin’ too much … Continue reading
My first bricklink.com purchase, it’s a hit!
A great tip I learned at Brick Fiesta and from the master builders, bricklink.com is the best place to go for used stuff or particular pieces you want to make your own creations! Lego itself focuses on the new things … Continue reading
Happy Force Friday…
…yeah, I know, it’s a fake Marketing Holiday engineered by Disney, Lego, Hasbro and a dozen other Capitalist lampreys. Still, the excitement gathering around The Force Awakens has been taking on the same level of fuss/hype since The Phantom Menace 16 years ago. … Continue reading
Princess Leia fan, right on!
Face is blurred out to protect the sweet person’s identity but I love the shirt and I want to encourage little people of both genders to be unafraid to promote their heroes, even if they’re fictional.
Star Wars: Rebels proves Disney fare is not weak
June 20 was the Season Two premiere for Disney’s first outing with Star Wars as an animated show. The kickoff was decent but nothing terribly revealing other than Darth Vader appearing and giving the two low-end Jedi Knights a serious ass kicking. … Continue reading
RIP Christopher Lee
The consummate villain for sixty years and Ian Fleming’s cousin to boot! I had the good (or bad) fortune to see his work in the Hammer films as a kid. For some reason, WCIA-3 in Champaign, IL would have a … Continue reading

The wubba lubba dub dub is strong in this one!
Spotted at Dragon’s Lair. My favorite touch is Mr. Meseeks as the Darth Vader proxy and the Smiths standing by cluelessly where the droids resided. Can’t wait for the new episodes in July this Summer!
The new Star Wars Battle Pod game is weak
I was so stoked when I saw the preview and articles regarding this successor to the old 1983 video game I still play at Pinballz. Well I got my opportunity to play it a couple times at Dave & Busters … Continue reading
