Dave Attell

A sold-out show in Austin with Dave Attell! Years ago, he used to have a show on Comedy Central called Insomniac in which he’d travel to a particular city to explore what there was to do from late evening until dawn. … Continue reading

RIP Garry Shandling

A damned shame Garry died suddenly because he was a quiet, unsung hero of comedy but it wasn’t always that way. When I first saw him, he was in the same camp as Billy Crystal, a rather boring Johnny Carson … Continue reading

Not sure what the context is from the episode, I’ve only seen about first three of the current season, but hey, any cheesecake of Dr. Girlfriend makes me laugh.

No shamrock shakes this year

That or I’m going to the wrong McDonald’s every single time. Maybe I should just buy a good vanilla shake somewhere else and put green food-coloring in it. In other funny news, NYC’s police force will be easing up on … Continue reading

Night of the Comet

I missed out on Night of the Comet in theaters around 1984 but enjoyed the hell out of it when it made its debut on Showtime the following Christmas. I think the film was whipped together to take advantage of the Halley’s … Continue reading

Update: A story that was overlooked due to my illness (the flu and whatnot) near the beginning of 2016. A rather nice tradition started by the old gaming group I used to belong to and this year I finally took the … Continue reading

My new Bugs Bunny watch!

Watch OS 2 finally brought the ability to have the watch face I wanted, my personal hero and totem animal/character in this pushy world. I didn’t have him on there right away but Somara took the time to work on … Continue reading

Westworld, the original

This is a movie I have always seen somewhere around the middle but never from the beginning. I scored a cheap DVD of it in the last year in anticipation of HBO’s overdue, behind-schedule show which will lengthen the story … Continue reading
