The Apple Campus Cat
I got pretty close to her so I could get a slight zoomed-in photo of her while she was investigating the cafeteria. I also managed to sneak up on her to pet her which resulted in the poor kitty shooting … Continue reading
Schitt’$ Creek
A more-adult SitCom courtesy of the Pop network, streaming services and the CBC which is a bright spot in the continuous division of larger audiences killing the giant broadcast networks. There’s no way Creek would last a month on the Big Five in … Continue reading
The Founder: Must See
The Founder is primarily about Ray Kroc, the man behind what McDonald’s became until his death. It also entails the two brothers (Mac and Dick) who created the original restaurant Kroc hijacked and transformed into an empire that still feeds … Continue reading
DC’s new “in-between” Young Animal line is great
Despite the moniker and the titles DC launched for Young Animal, Vertigo remains so I’m guessing DC is trying to be more granular with its audience. What surprised me was the writer for two of the four titles rolled out under … Continue reading
Kong: Skull Island: Worth Seeing!
Kong delivered where the recent Godzilla failed. How? Firstly, Godzilla is the “hero” monster that kind of shows up to defeat two other moth-like things. Its pace was blech and when it was all over, Godzilla was the lesser problem. Kong on the other … Continue reading
Running…again, and again, and again
The excuses finally ran out and I made it back to the gym today for running. I’m within 100 miles of the current target too. I could’ve gotten back into the groove if it weren’t daylight savings time getting in … Continue reading
RIP Chuck Barris
According to his obituaries I read today, Chuck was quite a Renaissance Man; songwriting, producing TV shows, running daytime programming for ABC and obviously performing. His most famous creation, The Gong Show, was often something my brother and I would watch … Continue reading
Texas Senate Republicans pushing yet another dumb idea
They have a bill to lower the tiny dick fee since the proponents think $140 is just too much money. It probably should be higher and the bulk of it goes toward the victims of the Dirty Harry wannabes. Back … Continue reading
RIP Bernie Wrightson
My comic-book artist friend Steve (aka Stvee) reported the sad news about another famous (predominantly) comic-book artist passed away. I had no idea he was residing in Austin all this time. His wife Liz left a heartfelt message and career … Continue reading
Fist Fight: Disappointment
The other half of our recent double feature was my choice after John Wick 2 and I didn’t fare any better in this rather by-the-numbers comedy playing up Charlie Day’s spastic character from Philly and the often grouchy Ice Cube. The difference? … Continue reading
John Wick 2: Stop Bothering!
People didn’t listen the first time. Now they went and made a sequel thanks to the original making an actual profit. Now I was dragged to this because Somara loves these Hong Kong knockoffs. I figured the character had killed off … Continue reading
Went to check out some of SXSW today
I have an annual tradition of going downtown via the train (which is awesome, screw you car fanatics and naysayers since we need more rail). Then I walk the distance from Fourth and Trinity to Waterloo Records at Sixth and … Continue reading

Lady Bunny shirt!
Last week, I did some research on Lady Bunny because she does the vocals on the latest album from Ursula 1000 (“Blast Off”). I had a feeling she is a drag queen due to her voice having a similar range … Continue reading
Green Arrow Chucks!
It’s not quite the look or version of Green Arrow I like, aka the Neal Adams style, but I highly down the Robin Hood of Seattle/Starling City will get his likeness on shoes again for I scored these on clearance. … Continue reading
“I’m back baby!” – Bender Rodriguez
Took a big stretch of time off from writing on the site. I wanted to contemplate a couple losses, namely Loren, and I had been on a winning streak with other things. Balance, life often needs it. Then you an … Continue reading
