Look! It’s Calculon from All My Circuits!
One of my non-autograph, non-picture and non-apparel acquisitions from the recent convention. After Bender, Calculon is my next favorite robot on the show because he is such a gullible ham. Due to his age and being the original werecar from the … Continue reading

Norman Reedus
Here’s a quick snippet of many, many cool things to appear on Picayune from our attendance at Austin’s comic-book convention, aka the Wizardworld circuit. As you see, this gentleman is currently famous for his role as Daryl on AMC’s hit … Continue reading

Maggi Picayune is recuperating for a bit
I’m hoping that taking the rest of Sunday night off from everything, similarly to what I ended up doing for most of Friday…on my first paid shutdown day, argh!…will result help my recover from what was an incredibly awesome weekend. … Continue reading

My nephews’ Halloween costume
The oldest nephew Hunter found a way to re-use his walker (which he doesn’t need anymore) from his recent knee operation. I can’t get Cannon to go…squirrel!

Seems there was a little more left in the tank
Last I lamented about how the annual comic book from Bongo had seemed to run its course. There really wasn’t much else to parody and this was started to redo premises/stories the TV show had covered a decade ago. This … Continue reading

Thomas Dolby 2012!
Thankfully Thomas Dolby returned to Austin after performing at SXSW this Spring, it says I live in a very awesome city. Well I feel it does because I know Milwaukee wouldn’t be worth another attempt. Last time I saw Thomas was … Continue reading

Robot & Frank: Worth Seeing
Low-key SciFi seems to be the “in” thing lately but unlike Looper, Robot & Frank is a more light-hearted story set in the near future. It’s always great to see a movie made for adults too. What I reveal here … Continue reading

Italian #19: Albert “Cubby” Broccoli
I’m glad I didn’t cover this world famous movie producer last year because 2012 is the 50th anniversary of Dr. No, the first Bond film he co-helmed and what would be the template for the franchise. There had been attempts … Continue reading
The Molly Fund is a go
For those readers who managed to slog through the majority of my 4000-plus word piece over Molly’s departure, I mentioned possibly doing a memorial fund in her honor. This morning I discussed the details with White Rock’s accountant and starting … Continue reading
Gorillaz Chucks
I like a couple songs by this band but I’m a bigger fan of the artist, I think used to do some Tank Girl stuff. When Journeys had these on these on sale/clearance, I went ahead and added them to … Continue reading
RIP George McGovern
His failed bid to unseat Tricky Dick happened when I was four yet it’s about the only thing the man is remembered for. Never mind his WWII record, his opposition to the Vietnam War (amongst many) and involvement with anti-hunger … Continue reading

Happy Fifth Anniversary Nancy & Jose
Our friends tied the knot back in Orlando on this day five years ago…it was on a Saturday then too! Awesome because we turned this wedding into a mini-vacation, I can’t remember why we didn’t go on a formal vacation anyway. … Continue reading

Garbage
Last week I got to attend the sold-out Garbage concert at La Zona Rosa. They were supposed to play this Spring for Record Store Day but co-founder Duke had a personal emergency causing them to reschedule. Lucky me because I pounced … Continue reading
1987: Black Monday
It’s a good thing I spent the energy to check out The Economist today or else I would’ve missed this scary landmark I recall clearly in college. Besides their Thurston Howell III manner of talking crap about labor rights, I … Continue reading

Happy birthday to little e
The first and oldest daughter of our friends Kelly and Ethan celebrates her fifth birthday. Tonight will be a big celebration with the parents. We sent Evie (her actual name) a card but it was no ordinary card, it’s a … Continue reading

Overdue justice for adult male fans of the PPG!
Three cheers for Hot Topic! Sure I chuckle and agree it’s the store for Mall Goths but the place is stocked with numerous other genres/items I dig. Give the place a few minutes, you’ll find something cool amidst the ICP … Continue reading
