RIP Casey Kasem
Casey had been ill for a while so I figured it was only a matter of time before the venerable radio voice would pass away. I hope he had a peaceful ending since the crapstorm with him family is just … Continue reading
Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!
My kick-ass high score on the biggest pinball machine ever built, give or take the fact I don’t feel like researching any further. It’s an awesome machine since it uses a cue ball and has big wooden flippers. Hercules scale makes … Continue reading
Joker 3 in honor of Batman’s 75th
This pair was on clearance at Journeys. My guess is they’re clearing space for the next round of DC characters, JLA mainstays again. These are my favorite Jokers because they seem to follow the Marshall Rogers style. I also love the … Continue reading
Congrats to the Kings, a kicking to the Flyers’ management
I caught the last hour of the Kings’ victory over the Rangers, giving the LA team their second Cup in three years and existence. It was quite a goal too. Shot from Carter, rebounded back in by Martinez. Textbook play. … Continue reading
Remember Sunday is Father’s Day
Alamo Drafthouse knows the perfect gift to get on the fly!
It’s about half right
I’m getting my running back on track but now I need to work on eating much, much less since I’m pushing back into Jose’s Wedding Weight…that’s my weight, not his.
Go Spurs! I mean Stars!
Hmmm, the only difference between these teams are two letters! If they both win, Central Texas will be the champs in a couple sports. Last night the Spurs beat Captain Flopper and this evening the Stars beat the Icecaps (or … Continue reading
RIP Rik Mayall
It was sad to hear about the passing of Rik. He wasn’t well known in America and I think Drop Dead Fred didn’t help. However, if you watched MTV in the mid-Eighties when their music-video format was losing steam, you probably … Continue reading
Happy eighth anniversary E & K, belatedly
The “younger” Lowrys celebrated eight years of marriage yesterday. I remembered as I got a quick message in to Ethan but I lacked any time to remind you all here. Work was non-stop and then I had to rush north … Continue reading
Older cat advice, how I wish mine were so nice
As much as I would love to have a kitten, I tend to adopt adults because they deserve a home too. It’s probably why they all have their own agendas. Nemo was the closest to a kitten which I rudely forgot. … Continue reading

As part of D&D’s 40th birthday this year and my ongoing doodling with rules, options and trying to help other DMs I know, Jeremy and I have started a new site called The Austinverse. Also a fitting 3500th post! So what … Continue reading

New podcasts I’m hooked on #4
Back in March I was full of fire to keep blathering on about the few podcasts I recommend these days, the ones from a few years ago mostly ran out for me, only On the Media remains. I feel I’m caught up … Continue reading
X-Men: Days of Future Past: Worth Seeing*
* – This chapter in the X-Men films isn’t terribly concerned whether or not non-comic book movie goers are very knowledgeable of this venerable storyline. There is some exposition but the flick doesn’t concern itself if general audiences get it. I gave up … Continue reading
Game over man!
Lego Master Builder Missing Brick (she or he should be labelled one) has a rockin’ Flickr site with the greatest kit-bashing of Aliens. Well, my Lego abilities are pretty unimpressive compared to this person. I wonder if Missing Brick uses software to … Continue reading
1944: D-Day, 70 years later
I’m sure we’ll all be reminded through the day and weekend over the massive landing/invasion/retaking of France. It is tragic to think about all the lives lost so suddenly on both sides thanks to stubborn and/or insane governments at the … Continue reading
