“Scoring” with trivia at D&B

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Steve

Editor’s Note: About half-way through the Lost Tales section. I just needed to get a quick disclaimer done over this funny encounter since it took place in November, not the date this will be posted. It’ll be moved to its … Continue reading →

Picayune is pending a data recovery for another week

Posted on November 24, 2012 by Steve

As awful as “Spock’s Brain” is, the image of McCoy getting bombarded with the knowledge is the most appropriate representation of what’s happening with my site right now. The Enterprise had better luck than me since Spock was back to … Continue reading →

Black Friday without NHL hockey bites

Posted on November 23, 2012 by Steve

It was deja vu circa 2004 thanks to a terrible commissioner and inept, greedy owners. Many owners have changed since those awful days (Lightning, Coyotes, Stars, Blues and Ducks come to mind) but the short-sighted mindset hasn’t. The day after Thanksgiving … Continue reading →

The 20th anniversary of the WMAG cassettes

Posted on November 22, 2012 by Steve

My dabbling with podcasts has happened in fits and starts, I readily admit that.  A lack of time was the biggest problem followed by my biggest gripe with music CDs…their audio levels are not always consistent, especially if they were … Continue reading →

Congratulations to Jeremy and Kristin

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Steve

They tied the knot in Hawaii while attending a family reunion. I can never remember which side of Jeremy’s large clan it’s with, the dude has so many siblings and cousins. We knew they were going to make it official … Continue reading →

Digging out, all is still alright

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Steve

Last week was a complete bust in so many ways. Taking Somara to the ER and having her hospitalized for over a day was one thing, then coming down ill on my own. It is rather irritating to get sick … Continue reading →

Had to take Somara to the hospital, all is well

Posted on November 11, 2012 by Steve

This is a post to inform those who don’t follow me via FaceBook (I’m not fond of), I also don’t use Twitter that much due to the lack of “followers;” I’m seriously thinking of removing it from my iPhone because it … Continue reading →

Argo: Worth Seeing

Posted on November 10, 2012 by Steve

Two years ago I saw what was actually Affleck’s sophomore attempt, The Town, I made the mistake of thinking it was his directing debut. Regardless, I said I would give his next movie a try because the cliche-ridden bank-robbery movie demonstrated … Continue reading →

My favorite Phoenix-based couple (there used to be more than one I knew) is celebrating the major milestone in Costa Rica, this was according to an e-mail I received from the Radman. I tried calling over a couple weeks ago … Continue reading →

Posts will be coming later now that the election is over

Posted on November 7, 2012 by Steve

My anxiety always has risen to painfully crippling levels during election years ever since 2000…thank you Florida for not embarrassing us again. And yeah, my guy won so I’ll be flipping some virtual birds at certain people on FaceBook. Somara’s … Continue reading →

Doubled the distance!

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Steve

Last year, I ran about 250 miles on the treadmill, putting me past Jose and Nancy’s house in the Dallas suburbs. Over the weekend, I have completed over 500 miles on various treadmills this year! This would put me within … Continue reading →

New October-November gains and Con hits

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Steve

My next installment from Austin’s 2012 Comic Convention is shirts. Here, Nerd/Geek Culture has this nailed. Hey, I like pro sports to a point and in many circles, namely Texas, hockey doesn’t often count…until Dallas wins the Stanley Cup again … Continue reading →

Nerd do Well by Simon Pegg

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Steve

Finally! Another book completed on my iPad, something I totally failed to do during our recent vacation to Las Vegas. Plus I’ve been slogging through Nerd for about a year. This doesn’t mean it’s a hard read, far from it. … Continue reading →

Happy Belated 20th Birthday Cartoon Network

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Steve

I can’t wish the same for the slightly older SyFy (former SciFi) network but I did have the great fortune of living in a market which subscribed to both at their launches. Dennis Miller, when he used to be funny, … Continue reading →

Happy 55th Birthday Adam Ant

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Steve

Prince Charming has much to celebrate this year. I think his US tour went well. OK, Vegas was packed, I have no idea about Austin. I haven’t found one person who went yet Adam is due in light of all … Continue reading →
