Into The Woods Rental
My short review is…Into the Woods? More like Into the Exposition! Not Sondheim’s best musical given how every other song sounded like a recap of the plot. For those not familiar with the original Broadway show from the late Eighties (me … Continue reading
Sixteen years later…
On this evening, I had a dinner meeting with some lady I met via Match.com but it was the trial version. We had conversed over the phone at least once. Now I was going to the Chili’s near Apple’s old … Continue reading

Happy birthday Mark B
I rarely see the guy anymore because he’s busy working for the Dark Side (the DA of Williamson County, aka North Reaganstan to us in Austin) and probably still cleaning up the mess left behind by the scummy predecessor who I … Continue reading
Alas, poor Lego Yorick!
An awesome find I made at the “used” Lego store up in Round Rock. They sell minifigs in see-thru bags at varying prices and some blind from past series.
Star Wars #1 is alright so far but nothing groundbreaking…
…except Marvel trying harder than they did from 1977-86. I think that despite Disney handing them the title on a silver platter, Marvel’s work will be better thanks to Dark Horse raising the standard after their 21-year run. I bought … Continue reading
Presenting Susu’s construction (loot given out part three)
These cool Legos should help everyone in Minneapolis get through the long periods of darkness and cold.
Star Wars returns to Marvel Comics
To celebrate, Nick of Rogues Gallery put together an additional diorama from his action-figure collection to show that the characters share our enthusiasm.
Check out my Master Builder skills!
Those troopers I made for nephews are having their transportation to Qatar arrangements negotiated, say a personal courier. I wish it were me, I’ve never set foot on another continent, let alone an island off of North America. Meanwhile, I … Continue reading

Big Eyes Worth Seeing
The good news is the Tim Burton who makes the movies I like without regret years later showed up to make this adaptation from the same duo responsible for Ed Wood. Any bad news? Nothing too serious other than I’m rather … Continue reading
Playmobil figures substituting for people in paintings
Click here to check out this artist’s work. I only recognized about half the pieces he did because I consider Basquiat’s stuff to be unimpressive. I also find it funny that the adaptations are done by a French guy due to … Continue reading
Updates for Maggi Picayune
The big change coming up which you probably won’t notice much its hosting being moved. After nearly a decade, I’m just moving the site to be hosted somewhere more reliable. I just don’t have the time to find out why … Continue reading

RIP: Taylor Negron
He was never the star in many roles you saw him in but I found him memorable. The son-in-law from Easy Money The terrible mailman from Better Off Dead The muscle, threatening Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout The pizza delivery guy … Continue reading
Duplo for Ben (loot given out part two)
It is rather comical that he found the ribbon more entertaining initially!
Meet the (Old) Republic’s 727th Jump Brigade
Damn J.J. Abrams and his teaser trailer. He unfortunately re-awakened my latent, deflated Star Wars mojo after George Lucas killed it with the help of terrible acting, a plot written by the eight-year-old version of me (actually, I would’ve done better) … Continue reading
Another downside to Texas that must change
Where to begin when it comes to illustrating the Idiocracy of the Texas government and its loudmouth, paranoid, racist minority backing it. You can buy guns on Sunday but not hard liquor. So much for keeping murder off the docket when … Continue reading
